The Bedeviled Coterie (unless you come up with your own name before the end of the first session) is the Crew vessel in Lost Tales of Runners Fore. It is a 550 ton Venice class starship. The Crew will have an opportunity to customize the ship to their liking.

Economic Worksheet

Each month expenses must be reconciled based on income shares and expenditures (see Future Imperfect - Economics). The following is the standard expense worksheet.

Fuel: 1 income share per 100 units (20 LY per unit) at FTL Cruise
Fuel: 1 income share per 50 units (10 LY per unit) at FTL Max
Reactor Maintenance: 1 income share per year.
Crew salaries: 1 income share per month.
Docking fees: 1 income share per 10 docks.
Combat: 1 income share per 3 rounds (or fraction thereof) of nova fire (main batteries).
Combat: 1 income share per 5 rounds (or fraction thereof) of nova fire (secondary batteries).
Combat: 1 income share per 2 Startorps (or fraction thereof) fired or otherwise lost.
Combat: 1 income share per 500 points damage (or fraction) on the ship's shields.
Combat: 1 income share per 100 damage on the ship's battle armor.
Combat: 5 income shares per hull penetrating hit.
Combat: 1 income share per 10 damage inflicted internally.
Overhead: 4 income shares per month.
Taxes: 1 income share per 10 tax tokens.

Monthly Reconciliation

At the end of the month all expenditures must be paid via the ship's credstick. Expenditures are decremented immediately (technically they have been decremented all month long). Some fees cannot be ignored, such as taxes. Fees such as fuel can be ignored, by decrementing the fuel tank. Ignoring salaries has consequences as notated in Economics.

Maintenance tokens can be taken in lieu of paying fees. These increase the amount of necessary maintenance the ship needs and also increases the breakdown numbers.

Software

In many previous space games, we have always assumed the ships computer could just do whatever. Why not, it almost seems that way now. However, what makes this possible is software. In a starship, there are so many types of software that it would be impossible to have all of the types of programs that are available. As players it will be your responsibility to choose the software your ship is equipped with. A list is provided for your reference.
