March 616 - Corrington's Escorted Trade Runs

[Tomsche]

Why not, if they hunt me, the big convoys are safe

Why not, if they hunt me, the big convoys are safe

That's the spirit! For King (/queen) and country!

[Tomsche]

In my eyes, it`s a sharp sword for pirates.

If they attack an escort destined for the Queen, they can expect a retaliating fleet of Ships of the Line.

(or so I hope)

This month, the Green Dragon will gladly give it`s place up to other endeavouring traders, as I will not be joining a flotilla

I`m going to risk the banana run with it`s limited 2 stops only.

Hopefully we will still be able to provide you an escort. This would be a good alternative to the Quick Wing convoy.

Oops, I meant flotilla, not route.

I thought BrickOn was concerned there's not enough space for all his ships.

Ahh, yes we can adjust the flotillas according to convoy participation.

Well actually I was concerned that I would steal all spaces and there would be no room for anyone elses ships!

Don't worry about taking up room. The more ships the better!

Don't worry about taking up room. The more ships the better!

In that case, Lady Jacqueline requests to join Fire Trader.

Thanks,

[Bregir]

I should like the HMS Otter to join the Fire Trader convoy, preferably in flotilla with the Lady Jacqueline.

The Sphinx will, as usual, join the Merry Lyric.

None of the convoys are full yet. Just tell me which convoy you want your ships in and I'll make it work. If I can't, I will contact you and we will figure something out.

Opening another route seems a bit inefficient to me with the current map but eventually as more zones are added, we will open up more routes. Was there a reason why you would like another route?

Sorry about the new math.

"Corland Provider" will sail with the Quick Wing convoy.

[Please add the 2T vessel Chubby Duckling to the Quick Wing convoy, I have hired it from Brick On, see the letter below]

To Mr Brickon, agent for Sir James Chase

Dated this 23rd day of March in the 616th year After Empire

Sir, thank you for your generous response. In consideration of her generous lines, I propose to christen the vessel The Chubby Duckling. She will be licensed today as a 2T and despatched on a trade run almost immediately.

I am delighted to become your business partner in this new venture, and will inform Mr Hawksbrugh of the outcome. I have arranged for the 15 doubloons to be transferred directly to your account.

I remain your humble servant, Nicholas Van Moor

Updated first post.

I licensed The Nightingale as a 2F vessel. It's a sistership of the Mercator and has a spot in Flotilla 1 on Route 3B.

[Bregir]

Otter and Sphinx entered by the form.

[Tuben]

The Pelican want to join the quick wing :) The captain on "The Pelican" is Ulrich von Koehler from Eslandola!

The Pelican is a Class 2 trade ship :)

I keep a list that I update but I never saw the Lover's Quarrel licensed. I must have missed it.

[Ayrlego]

I think we still need to MOC Lover's Quarrel before we can use her?

[SilentWolf]

We are allowed 5 ships that are not MOC. Since I did a MOC for Whisper, another ship could take the place in the 5. Lover's Quarrel being our only remaining 4A is the logical choice.

[Tuben]

Sorry I didn't submit a MRCA form... :/ I hope it didn't sabotage for you guys.... I plan to contribute better this month :) Sorry again...

Lover Quarrel wasn't licenced properly, so in my list he still is drydocked

No worries, Tuben - I can't imagine it lead to any inconvenience for the rest of us!

You are only required to participate as much as you like and have time for!

she is a capture, she already has a license.

[Maxim I]

she is a capture, she already has a license.

She is indexed as licenced, but drydocked.

But no prob, I'll change her status when I am home :)

[Maxim I]

Sorry friends, I missed the Whisper while updating the list, so that's where I went wrong asuming you already had 5 unmoc'd vessels.

Lover's Quarrel has been added to the active licenced fleet of Corrington!
