I have a question regarding Ship Shares received as a mustering out benefit. Per the MGT 2nd ed, if one of the Travellers receives a ship as a mustering out benefit, then the other Travellers can't use their ship shares to purchase one (as there can only be one ship per party) but can use their shares to supplement their annual income. However, I note that the only class of ship you can receive outright from a single benefit roll (i.e. not subject to mortgage) is a scout ship received from the Scout class career. All other ships are received subject to at least a portion of the mortgage (e.g. a Noble receives a yacht, with 25% of the mortgage paid up for each instance that benefit is rolled - would have to roll the benefit 4 times to receive the ship free and clear of mortgag). So, assuming one Traveller receives a ship but still subject to some portion of the mortgage, does this mean that other Travellers can't kick in their own ship shares to lower the remaining balance (and thereby lower the monthly mortgage payment) ? Conceivably, they could be part owners of the same ship (to the extent of their respective contributions).
