"Don't everybody jump at once."
Fel smiled at this. He wasn't an impatient man, not by a long shot. But the questions were of the 'you-aught-to-know' variety, so he was pleased when Tyler Spoke up. A soldier. But no more. Lots of that going around... Alright soldier. I don't give a lot of guarantees, but I can and will guarantee you we're going 'somewhere.' And if that's all you need before throwing in with the lot of us, then you'll do fine hereabouts. He walked toward the large man, his own diminutive stature painfully obvious in Ty's shadow. I guess, only question I'd have for you, is who'd you fight for, and what would you fight for down the road?
Fel moved on, taking a step or two toward the Mandalorian, Erik, but called out over his shoulder to Ty as he walked. No guarantees on arriving in one piece. But if we do, and if you watch our backs in the process, it'll be me paying you, not the other way 'round. He arrived before the Mandalorian and took him in, head to toe. Tell me what this ship says to you, Erik. Does it speak to you? Fel moved off a short distance, running a hand along one of the recently-added duralumin girders that speared the ship along the long axis, several adjoining beams and truss girders intersected this particular piece of metal, and Fel touched it softly, gently, as if resting his hand on a child's head. The parts of the original vessel that had been in the way of these new additions had crudely been hacked away, but the welding, the work of adding the new steel, was masterful. He turned back to the young man, his single remaining natural cold, blue eye blazing with intent and concentration. Tell me what this ship is, and what it was, and I'll have the measure of you as a mech.
Fel turned toward Damron, who seemed out of his depth, more than a little. His natural eye blinked, but the sickly yellow synth eye did not, and remained focussed on him for a long moment. Fel didn't like slicers as a rule. (mostly because he didn't fully comprehend how they did what they did -- much of it was voodoo to him.) He'd be hard pressed to find a better slicer 'this side of the Core' huh? Impress me -- how are you with mid-level First Order tech, Damron? Like... could you run a bypass on an encrypted command system inside of thirty seconds?
Finally, the man in red spoke. Reynolds. Right. Reynolds. Knew I knew you. Been a long time, Nathan. The hell you doin' out here with nothin' but a gun barrel to your name? Where's yer ship? ...he walked up closer to the taller man, speaking in a lower voice You capable of leavin' the Captaining to someone else? That can be a tough Bantha hide to chew on. He smiled at the Corellian, turning away and walking back to the centre of the group. Melia... I don't like this one. Far above, Mel Tervho made a finger-gun, aimed it at Nathan Reynolds, and mouthed the word 'pew,' then winked at the spacer, smiling a winning smile. I'm just kidding, Nathan. Welcome aboard, all of ya. My waste don't smell any sweeter'n the rest of you. I've done my time orderin' and bustin' humps. Out in the cold dark, we work together, or we don't work at all. We don't work -- someone could end up dead. When we have a gig, you'll all get a chance to vote on it. When there's money to be had, we split it. You need to go your own way -- you go. He grew serious, and his voice was cold as Hoth. You cross me, you'll wish you hadn't. a pause Deck one has all the amenities of home. Not much in the galley to speak of, but we're not likely to be here for long. Find yourselves a bunk, we lift off in thirty minutes...

Weird. That last post seems to have been doubled, somehow.

I appreciate all you’ve said about positions and ‘official’ crew status etc. Just so you know... it was always terribly loose with Fel, because the conversation simply never happened IC. The crew was simply several like-minded people pulling jobs together, acting in their own self interest. And as long as those paths lead in the same direction, they did for each other. I think it may have taken seven or eight years IRL for us to eventually have a conversation about who held what position. Mostly, it’s Fel’s incredibly slow willingness to trust that halts the process. What binds him to his crew is the establishment of trust, and that only happens through in character role play and battle. The things the draw characters together. So while it’s all well and good to make lists, none of it’s going to mean anything to Galdaart. what binds him to his crew is the establishment of trust, and that only happens through in character role play and battle. The things that draw characters together. So while it’s all well and good to make lists, none of it’s going to mean anything to Fel Until that trust is there. Until it’s been battle tested. Crew equals friendship .

How legal what’s going to be?
Wait... you were somehow under the impression we were seeking out only “legal” work?

I don’t like the 929. Never have. I looked at it when I was weighing my options re. which ship to use back when I created Galdaart. Same with most of the YZ series armed couriers. It goes against my love of being the underdog. I’d rather use skill and a couple of sharp sticks than all the bristling weapons the 929 has.

Ellie — see above. I have the plot all ready to go. Just need to get offworld. Maybe half a dozen posts to get there, but we’re waiting on Reynolds.
Oh, and as for “ships owned,” we can also add YG4210 “Unfair Advantage” (currently with Karana Malora) Loronar Medium Transport “Red Cred” (currently with Liya Tawaza)

… As for the list of crew, that’s problematic in Fel’s head, because to him the crew chief will always be Malora (though she hates the term.) And Liya Tawaza will always need a spot of prominence. (And he doesn’t even know that Wade Connors is dead, and that Jace Stealer is MIA.) to him, these are his crew.
Not that there won’t be new, permanent additions. Obviously! But just so you all know, though they’re separated by distance, location and years, in his mind, Fel already has a crew. They’re just out of reach.

The ‘Blasphemy’ was built for a reason. A reason that might still RP out at some point. And if y’all were aboard when and if it happens, it would be epic, and you’d all tell your grandkids about it someday. That’s all i’ll say for now on that.
The plan was always to mothball the CR70 for a time when we needed it. But I think it’ll serve nicely to set the bait for my next heist, which will earn us a ship to sell off to fund our new freighter, AND we’ll get to keep the Blasphemy, so that we can drop it back off on some unused plan it so that it can wait for us should the need ever arise.
I’m not gonna tell you all what the plan is about how we sell the Blasphemy, get a new ship, and keep the Blasphemy... but again, once we’re offeorld, it’ll fall into place pretty quickly.

I’m absolutely shocked to say... I love it. Absolutely.
The first ship Fel had (from 1.0 to sometime in 2012, during 1.5) was the YT1760, which was the very beginning of the Fel crew. At that time the crew consisted of Fezl, Malora, Dazac and eventually, Mack Revette. Jace Stealer May have joined on right at the very end of her existence.
We moved up (???) into a YG4210, the ‘Unfair Advantage.’ The crew (currently consisting of Malora, Daniel Logan and Liya Tawaza, still has that ship. And make no mistake — that is Fel’s home. His goal.
Every ship Fel has owned, he flies like a star fighter. When the GDA existed, Fel was number one, undefeated, and that was all using the YT1760. So the size of this bird doesn’t bother me much. Small is fine. Not having enough bunks? Fine. We can rotate / share.
Thoughts (i’m at work, on my lunchbreak)
—I don’t like the option that has more cargo capacity. —need another hatch aft of the med station, separating the vital compartments from the lounge / comms area. —weaponry needs upgrading, but not to a crazy level. (I have a few ideas...) —what are the two pylons beside the cockpit? Smuggling areas? “Jeffries tubes?” There seems to be no access to them, and they’re not listed in the legend...
