Freelancer ID infocard / roleplay

[Gamazson]

I disagree. Allow me to use a media example, the TV show Firefly. In that show they fly a stock frieghter (the rough evuilant to discovery mid to low range transports). In the various episodes they have done a variety of work from robbery, to smuggling, to salvage. basically any sort of odd job that pays and will keep them alive.

This is what I define as freelancing, even if my example is a touch on the unlawful side. If a freelancer gets a deal on a hold full of Deuterium, why wouldn't he haul it. All a freelancer needs is for a job to pay him enough to keep his crew fed, and his ship flying.


An actual trader likely has contacts, permits, log sheets, keeps his ship within legal mass. Things that a Freelancer wouldn't like want or need to cultivate.

ship within Legal mass

derailing thought.......if modern transport trucks must keep withing a certain weight to be allowed to run on the highways in order to prevent road damage. Would the FL trade lanes not have a mass restriction. Those things accelerate ships through space at enormous speeds, that would require the expenditure of energy. The more mass an object has, the more energy required to accelerate it. If the object has to much mass, you risk it traveling at a slower speed then the objects behind it. That would be catastrophic. Explains why you don't see a BS cruising the lanes anyway.
