Obviously partial to ishigaki for obvious reasons but I also don’t think anyone really wants a two year contract so I vote for either Kyoki or manna

Icarus because I need a Turkina that didn't get crammed into an Ikea shipping crate haunted by the ghost of our dead CO.
Kyoki because I've always wanted to visit Hilton Head.

Also...if we do Icarus can Skaraborg come out to play?  They have fond memories of that place and I feel Alexi Biadiatev hasn't been traumatized enough.

Some are good with it, some not. Take Rob’s IC vs OOC commentary at face value for example.

I was thinking Ishigaki as well, get some training time for everyone who was not able to get as much during the last contract, although Manna would help with that too.

Anyway, besides my players gripe from the last contract and its frustrations of the lack of player participation.

COs thoughts:
I would not be bothered by Ikarus or Kyoki, I am sure someone on Terra has something out for me after leading an operation that led to us capturing someone in their ranks. I would like to help our new pilots get a proper stable and some funds to ensure they can cover losses. Personally, Ikarus does seem like the most fun, but do not want to overwhelm our 2 newest lances.
If we want some more excitement instead of a long slog or training new recruits, I am open to it.
As a side note, since we talked about trying to obtaining another dropship, Ishigaki would be the best option for it.

I vote NO on Ishigaki (two years?  Boring! ) and Kyoki (Let's stay in the good graces of the phone company, thanks).

Anything else is fine. Prefer high salvage, high pay, and good chance of solo missions.

And if you ever catch me worrying about the new guys staying soft and cozy, please punch me in the face and remind me I'm a mercenary, and I'm here to stack C-bills.

Best options

Hozon - good terms for clan second lines but will be limited at 20% and pilot captures. If we want to try for clan pilots/tech this is the option. 20% of clan xl kills could be lucrative when taking a weight class down.

Enjo - good compensation and terms for pay salvage blc. To me best non clan contract if not best overall for IS salvage, pilots, solo chances, and decent pay.

Next options for me
Manna - Isn't paying much but would be good starter contract for new lances
Ikarus - I have no obligation to retake a Lyran world but the glory and irony.

Absolutely not
Let's leave AT+T 3.0 alone

20 month contracts are far to long with not enough upside. Cut it down to 8-10 sure that's fine but 20 might cause a mutiny, fragging, or just full.blown stir craze. There are better ways to help the new people in other contracts.

I've advanced AtB to the 15th and accepted the contract.  I'm going to let this sit for a couple days so you can get a last crack at the market, since I don't have time to do anything else till the weekend anyway.

Contract thread is going up now.

That's what I get for going to the store for an hour.  You guys are out of your minds.
