Convoys/fleets: Commodores, Admirals, and National Heroes

[Capt Wolf]

In the Trade MRCA, special commanders are required for convoys of more than 5 ships. If you are in charge of such a convoy, please post the name of the special commander and a picture in this thread. If you want to also link to a vignette of the commander, even better!

-If the convoy has more than 5 ships, a special commander must be paid, as follows:

     - A commodore may command a group of 6-9 ships at a cost of 100 DBs and 100 PIPs per MRCA.

     - An admiral may command a group of 10-15 ships at a cost of 200 DBs and 200 PIPs per MRCA.

     - A national hero may command a fleet of 16-25 ships at a cost of 500 DBs and 500 PIPs per MRCA.

NB: The pay for the commander goes out of the game, not into the pockets of the relevant player.

Should it be 6-10, 11-15, and 16-25?

[Flavius Gratian]

Commodore William Hawthorne, one of Corrington's most experienced naval officers. As a young lieutenant a pirate cut right through his right eye and side of his mouth during a bording action. Though he survived the experience (and took revenge on the pirate) he was scarred for life, which just adds to his reputation

6-9, 10-15, and 16-25 are correct. Those numbers are straight from our discussions in the court.

The mathematical inconsistency hurts my eyes...

Commodore Hammish Grei is again shipping out on the Stormbringer II. Rumors have been floating about that the Crahaish neh Triuri has tasked him with something important. An Oktoberfest reveler claims to have overheard something about marble, but the man who relayed this information was wearing his latest conquest's chemise as he said it.

Commodore Hammish Grei is once.again shipping out on the Stormbringer II.

Commander Sinbad:

Notorious pirate captain in charge of the Komodo Dragon II and other famous ships.

[Kwatchi]

The Lord of Whispers has promoted Captain Katrin DeKruger (cmd: Hand of Fate) to acting Commodore of the Yellow Skull Pirate Fleet, while he is busy with other endeavours.

DeKruger was plucked from the docks of Breshaun by the pirate lord years ago, where she had run with the wild packs of orphaned and abandoned children.  While not a kind guardian, it was seen to that she was tutored sufficiently and joined cruises at a young age.  The target of the occasional rumour of witchcraft and sorcery by the crew, she rose up the ranks thanks to a hard sense of loyalty and a surprising ferociousness when the least bit threatened.  Quite amicable in port, she demands strict execution of orders at sea and has the requisite fortitude to keep the disparate reaver captains in line.  This has earned her the nickname "The Cold Mistress".

Admiral Winston seeks to command up to 15 vessels.

[Capt Wolf]

The Grand Duchy of Prio, in light of past troubles with their national trade fleet, have turned to Lord Francisco de Pernica to serve as commodore of the squadron.

If I want to be an Admiral instead of a Commodore do I need to do anything? Or will the appropriate DBs/PIPs just be removed from my account?

The appropriate DBs are supposed to be deducted from your account. You just need to post the notice here.

I would like Sinbad to be an Admiral now.

Hopefully this is less large? As far as crusty it is the torso and hat from the Davey Jones fig. The head from one of the ninja figs. The beard is 20+ years old and is purposely dirty lol

I recognized the torso (and the head), and I like the crusty look. Very good character!

And now he's tiny -- smaller than your avatar.
