Some Questions for Weapons' Dealers

[teschy]

1) What ship class do you operate out of?
Royal Liner, Universal Armour Mk VIII

2) What's your ID and IFF?
Zoner, gives me some freedom.

3) Is there a sort of "gentlemen's agreement" in place, ensuring that other players don't try to steal your merchandise?
There certainly isn't, and I've been attacked in the past by greedy terrorists or pirates. However, if you're good enough at what you're doing, other people will defend your merchandise.

4) If you are "fair game" to other players, do you hire escorts?
I've hired escorts in the past, why not. Everyone wants to protect the merchandise.

5) Why did you decide to create a Weapons' Dealer character?
To be honest, I just liked the Royal Liner, and I bought it even if I had another trade ship. So I though I'd find a use for it - 'equipment shop' and also a museum, in RP.

6) How does your role as a Weapons' Dealer benefit the overall rp experience of other players on Discovery?
I think it's a wonderful experience for everyone, the thrill of getting a better price and all. Plus, I never worry if I'm not managing to sell anything in a day, the stuff will still be there for everyone, just like in real life.

7) If codenames were a purchasable item on some bases (Zoner Freeports, for example), would that ruin your playing experience?
As I've said above, I'm not selling just codenamed weapons. I'm also dealing rare equipment, or just ordinary merchandise. So it might cut down on profits, but it'll still make for some great roleplay.
