Paying back your ship

As I mention above, the canonical mortgage is more like my simple loan on the car - all the interest is calculated, then added, and that's the total you owe.

It was explained that way so as to not get into amortization complexity. BUT, it is NOT a simple interest loan in Trav. Otherwise, it would have stated a simple interest loan %...
 
Are there alternatives to buying? Leasing? A crew hired by a corporation to run a company ship? Rent to own? :confused:

The core rules have 6 ways to get a ship.

  1. Purchase
  2. Financed purchase
  3. issued
  4. chartered
  5. pirated
  6. barrated/hijacked

The last two are more implied than explicit, but the fact that NPC's aboard mean having to roll for a hijacking...

Where does a subsidized merchant fit in?
 
So, financed technically could include leased and company owned.

No. A financed ship you own, but the bank holds a note upon.

Leased, you do not own. You have term limited exclusive right to use. It could be considered a form of charter.

Company owned would be issued.
 
Rent to own? :confused:

ROFL! :rofl: I had this image of a large truck pulling up and unloading a starship........

And, all of those have different RP potentials. Why, I perceive a game in the near future which will use both 3 and 6 within the prologue...... ;)
