trents ship

what did he have before freeport 7 attack?

Post Mon Jun 16, 2003 5:31 pm

I don't think there's any official info on that one. If I had to take an educated guess, I would probably say a Clydesdale (since he IS Bretonian, and he IS transporting cargo).

But I don't know.

Reaper: $200,000,000.
Rockets: $100,000

I doubt he was gonna make a million credits on a clydesdale in one go, I reckon he had a train, this could get soooooooooo nerdy

I wonder why he has an American accent if he's Bretonian?

OK almost everyone else in the game whatever their nationality has an american accent, with a few SP character exceptions. At least his uncle Tobias sounds English, or Dwarfish, after all it is Gimle.

Tobias has a Welsh accent, there are hardly any English accents in the game - the Bretonnian woman NPC and Doctor Quintain are the only ones I can think of.

Oh, there are some male Bret NPCs with American accents who drop the word 'mate' into conversations in an attempt to sound English. Bah, not even close!

He just says he has a freighter in one of the cut scenes. Considering that guy owed him a million credits before that, it was probably a Drom or Humpback to carry that much cargo.

Ethier that or a non-tradeable commodity in the regular game and he was just getting paid 1 mill to delivery it.

I dont think trent had a ship as he was living on freeport 7 but then again he didnt have much cash so he might not have been able to afford one!!!

Post Wed Jun 18, 2003 1:06 pm

Did I imagine it, but I thought trent said he was carrying boron (May have ben beryllium) that he lost... If so it must have been an 80,000 tonner to make 1,000,000 on that trip...

Well, it's only 2 cents, but it's usally enough...

Or MAYBE it was the artifact that was worth the million creds. It was the only known active artifact, obviously it was highly sought after, and the guy that promised him the mil was the guy that had the artifact.

Now, who would win in a race, Superman or the Flash?

Huh?

Post Wed Jun 18, 2003 5:44 pm

If you read the first posts in his log he says "I am now the proud owner of a ton of boron" or something like that.
As you know he says "...my ore ship..." when talking to Lonnigan the first time (I think) making a Clydesdale a very good guess combined with his bretonian origin.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can't wait until I find a really good mod where I can fly the Liberty Cruiser... Ah... Sweet dreams Buffalo Base, 'cause here comes the almighty Projectile in the Dorsetshire (yeah, I'll call her that...) to blast your puny base to even punier pieces! WAHAHAHAHAHAAA!

I believe in the concept "Success through liberal use of machine gun fire"

I'm currently trying to learn the coordinates and system for every base, planet and wreckage in the game. I have forgotten everything I learned in school the last nine years, but hey, we all have to sacrifice thing in our lives.

Post Wed Jun 18, 2003 6:23 pm

But he doesn't say the boron will net him 1 mil.

Huh?

Post Wed Jun 18, 2003 8:43 pm

Nerd alert

OK, Trent tells Juni his ship was blown up with FP 7, that is why he needs one. So, he was not a resident of FP 7.

Next, when Trent gets the artifact, he recognizes the guy as a survivor but does not know what the artifact is. He could not have been trying to pawn the artifact.

The guy is victim of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The next time someone asks if you're a god, say YES!

Post Wed Jun 18, 2003 9:06 pm

The reason Trent had that much boron was because he and the captain of a big cargo ship conspired to steal some of the load. He was flying escort for that ship.

I have to agree with Cyrano, it doesn't say that it will net him 1 million credits, but he says that Lonnigan owes him 1 million credits. (because he spent that much on Boron.) Poor guy.
