An Odd Opportunity? (For the new players.)

Once this is determined, our search for High passage and cold storage passengers can commence

Mama's contribution

The Captain's Stateroom is built to serve as a 'double' at need. (Perhaps the Captain and their spouse/paramour/etc.) But it can be configured in a way that works for two crew. That means one crew (perhaps the Purser/Head Steward) could use one of the passenger staterooms. Decherrek will be aboard for a few jumps as well, and will pay full fare for another stateroom. Leaving 4 staterooms available for paying passengers. (Plus the 10 Low Berths of infamy...)

In order to take on passengers a 'flight plan (jump plan)' must be filed. You can't take passengers without a stated destination.

And... If Mama is simply checking the 'public' passenger boards the number of possible passengers would be limited. If she is doing something other than that it must be stated (and maybe roleplayed) how she is going about finding these passengers.

In a busy port like Fornice, there are dedicated Passenger Liners that are sucking up most of the passenger trade. Travellers can see the schedule of regular ships, check their reputations, and choose accordingly. A little Far Trader lacking reputation (or maybe having a negative one!) makes this relatively difficult.

As soon as the flight plan for Jokotre is filed by our Navigator, Mama posts the open beds and low passage slots available.

"The ~~ships new name~~ now has Transport to Jokotre
available!
4 Staterooms
10 Low passage
These spots will be filled per Fornice Port protocols
First come first serve"

Rate established by Fornice and will be adhered to.
(Rate to be listed)

Remaining unused slots will be reviewed later.

OOC:

If we know our next stop after Jokotre, it is possible to advertise for that location as well for a higher rate due to a double jump.
Just a thought....

There is a steady passenger trade in worshippers/pilgrims to (and from) Jokotre. To be a "True Follower of Ram" a believer is obligated to make this pilgrimage at least once in their lifetime. The government invests quite a large percentage of their resources to fund subsidized space-liners to facilitate this.
