So we need to sort out who is going to have the ship. I think almost everyone has a dog in this fight, except me that is. So, who is going to have it? Or does Tetsuko have to bang your heads together until there's a decision?

I hadn't initially brainstormed Kiru to own a ship, but then it looked like nobody else would have one and I know our GM—one of the PCs NEEDS to take one for the team and have a ship here. I like the idea of having one, complete with a room that is lined with loamy dirt that keeps sprouting corn and fruit everyday, has grown more appealing to me. Kiru also can potentially start the game with two spells that would be interesting on the ship: one which imbues the ship with positive mojo for Kiru and his allies, so ALL positive spells on them gain a bonus, and all harmful spells on us gain a penalty. The other spell worth mentioning is summoning a mujina trickster spirit as a servant for a month at a time, which could be handy in causing mayhem on other ships should anyone try to attack or board us (mujina became completely intangible at will, so he could float through space, dematerialise in their ship and do what trickster spirits do!), as well as make the ship invisible when it is stationary. Kiru, being mostly but not quite aligned to a great clan as far as law is concerned, could easily have anyone from any background join his crew/board his ship, too. That's all I've got for my case I'd love to have our decision made asap please, because I can't finalise my character sheet and background til we do :3

I had proposed buying a ship, dropping the 15 xp to buy a light cruiser. Being a Unicorn shugenja focused around Fire spells and piloting, I figured it would be appropriate. If you, or anyone else, feel like it would be best for another to own the ship, I'm down with that, though it would probably be better if I were to fly it. This would also allow me to spend some xp elsewhere.

This, Vincent, is why you don't make jokes on 3 hours sleep, just before bed.
Bearon going, "Yeap, you know what, screw a light freighter, I want a light Cruiser" is what I meant. Its HIGHLY unlikely anyone is going to have a bigger or more powerful ship, although in certain situations other vessels would be better.
And Phe.... I wasn't going to punish you TOOO hard if no one took a ship. I am not a monster....ish. I was fairly confident we would have people take ships anyway, but I wasn't going to punish you if no one did.
I just was surprised when the Light Cruiser showed up, thus the laugh and everything.

I'm impressed you aren't drawn by other advantages enough to be willing to spend all 15 on a light cruiser Hahaha.
Emerald said that docking/attaching to a light cruiser is doable (as you aren't getting a carrier, which could fit a freighter in it), so at this stage, if nobody else is entering the conversation, how about we get both? Once we have our orders and meet, Kiru can just mostly perma-dock with your ship...?

I'll probably have a two man shuttle. Not enough for an entire group.

Sounds like we are having more a spaceport here with all these ships.
As long as there's one that I can blast out of the airlock on, I'm good.

Go big or go home!! But really, when else have you had the chance to buy a light cruiser at character generation? XD
Not that other advantages weren't alluring... *cough* Ishiken-Do *cough*
Now if it ain't meshing well with plot/ group I'd be happy to downsize. You guys are using the Rapid Response Unit to purchase your ships, yes? I would probably go down to the 5 pt version if a light cruiser was too much.
Though I definitely have no qualms with having so many ships around!

I'm KINDA using the Rapid Response Unit advantage, but really, instead I'm taking the Human Allies advantage and for a more expensive cost than normal, so the equipment my clan/allies are giving me is a freighter, whose design/layout I've picked :3 I have ABSOLUTELY no issues with us having a light cruiser, and in fact, if we didn't have one, the rest of us couldn't easily have ships too, so by all means keep it

Meanwhile, backstory...you're a disgraced crane who can pilot...we need a proper pilot if you're interested in joining our crew of Shinwa, Kiru, a Shiba shugenja, a little flying rodent and an ethereal trickster spirit?
