The actual owner is an NPC (as is the first mate) and they are going to be hiring the characters, but since they also sometimes will be fighting alongside the PCs (but not always), I wanted to keep their point totals as fair as possible.

Re: Affording a spaceship?
You can build ships as characters, so you could build the spaceship as an Ally with Minion. That does make your ship's potency directly dependent on your character's point total, and things like enhanced move, hyper jump and all it's gadgets can get quite expensive.

Re: Affording a spaceship?
I prefer the Mobile Headquarters... the point cost is affordable at most point levels and fixed regardless of your CP total... the only drawback is having to take labs and major systems as perks, but even that isn't too bad.

Even in real life there were examples --
The Greek shipping industry was built by guys who got a used Liberty ship cheap -- (Uncle Sugar didn't want to pay the storage costs) and ran them into the ground hauling loads around the poorer corners of the world. See Onassis, Niarchos, and others. If you're willing to buy a ship for scrap prices, fix it up yourself, use cheap parts and cheaper labor, you can get from point A to point B fairly cheaply. But I wouldn't want to ride that barge.

Merely staying afloat is a hell of a lot easier than maintaining livable atmospheric pressure and temperature for weeks or months at a time.

Yeah, like the Firefly episode "Out of Gas"

Re: Affording a spaceship?
I've never seen the show. I know, don't tar and feather me or take away my nerd card. I can't forgive Whedon for putting 50 some habitable planets in a single star system.
