Re: Interstellar Shipping

You can't really discuss this without some base information that
doesn't appear in the works of GZG.

For 300MCr I can have a mass 200 cargo ship with 150 mass for
cargo (thrust 1).

This is my fixed cost.	What we need to make money with this
ship is the following information:

Crew Costs
Fuel Costs
Maintenance Costs/time
Round trip time

Without this information there is no real point to discussing
wether or not this ship can make its' shareholders a profit.

For instance, if a trip costs .1Mcr for crew for one trip,
and 20MCr for maintenance and fuel.  If a trip takes two
weeks our cargo needs to make 21.7Mcr per trip to give our
investors a 5% return on their money.

Where you set these values _and_ how much money  you can
make per mass of cargo determines profitability.
