Revolutionary Ship Prices (Ha, PUN)

[EriChar]

Yo yo yo, so it occurs to me in our big ship system change up that maybe the Revolutionary Army is getting a bit of a raw dog deal? They're an organized force and still expected to buy their own ships? That seems excessive...

Personally, while I don't think the Revo's should get free ships because they lack the resources the World Government can offer the Marines, I DO think they should have some sort of special deal when shipbuying. I imagine most Revo ships would be rather large to carry the army of people their leaders command, so it might be a bit much to expect a new captain to fork out a crapsack of cash to carry all their forces? Furthermore, since it seems more a calling than a job, Revo's don't seem to receive paychecks like Marines, and could hardly plunder civilians or hunt bounties for their coffers. It's a hard life for the wallet of a Revolutionary man, so maybe we should take some of that load off?

I agree. They are an organized force and should not have to pay for a "basic" ship. If they chose to upgrade the ship, according to the new ship guidelines, from the time of "purchase" they should have to pay for the upgrade.

For example if a revo character wanted to start off with a ship that had a gun deck; they should pay for the gun deck.
