Auctions:

[Navycross28]

The posts may be in-RP, but the actual auction isn't.

A captain of a Nimitz isn't going to go and sell his aircraft carrier, or rather the government's, and go take a vacation to Tahiti.

"Sorry, Admiral, my wife says she wanted me back home more than once a year. Yeah... Uh-huh... Alright, well its being sold in the Persian Gulf, so send a rep if you want your chance at getting it. Yeah. Great! Hope to see you there, Admiral. Ah, thank you... I'll tell her you said that... Uh-huh. Okay, see you later Admiral. *click*"

Ouch, considering I was stationed on the USS Nimitz CVN 68 for 4 long years, I can agree that this could not happen in today's world...

But, on the flip side if they decom a ship (or boat), it's either going to be turned into 3 things: A) Spare metal B) A museum C) A wildlife "reef" for the fishes off one of our coasts.

Now back to Disco: if they RP these ships being sold (like a junker makes a "promise" to scrap it and ends up fixing the ship) then it would make sense to see the whole ship sold to a random bidder.

All it really comes down is who or what company (or faction) these ships belong to. The Russian Republic is known to sell ships, boats, and submarines to any of it's "allies" (without weapons most of the time) but depending how desperate or lawless a group is, they "could" get away with a full blown auction.

Gotta agree with Magoo!, some auctions are completely oorp...
