Would you still transport slaves if...

[Zvanya]

No, that would be annoying. Recommend you transport them in cryogenic containers, as I do.

 

[Fia]

They signed up for it so why would they be crying? Slavery in the Empire is pretty much indentured servitude, by their system all those bankers would now be slaves instead of us having to pay their financial market/property gambling debts.

Remember there's no artificial gravity...
If they scream I take them for a few hundred barrel rolls round a star.
Cleaning up the sick is their job!

Actually if they get unruly, I just stop to refuel at a star, and turn off the A/C in the cargo hold

 

[Stressfest]

open the cargo hatch a fraction

 

[Rearden]

So THAT is what the "jettison all cargo" button is for...

 

[K Kinnison]

I just remember how in the original ELITE you had to have some sort of module - errm, Life Support it was called or similar, if you didn't you could still import Slaves, but when you got to your destination they were simply "meat" !
So not only did all the slaves die silently, but you lost virtually all your money (as meat was about 5% of the cost of slaves)

 

[Kitiara]

You could hear them crying for help in your cargo hold?

Ships Intercom : Be quiet or there will be consequences
Cargo hold : crying

<Select Cannister #23123>, <Jettison>

Ships Intercom : I can afford to jettison 5 more cannisters. Whoever wants to be next, make a noise.

I always wonder if those missions that require you to deliver some non-Imperial slaves to 'liberate' them are genuine or if I'd be just handing them over to continue their life of slavery... perhaps a follow-up mission for the future first-person mode!

 

[Mikey2305]

i must admit that i do find this 'light hearted banter' rather disturbing

 

[Darkath]

Actually the regular slaves you can purchase are sold in bulk. When you got a canister of 1000kg you get 12-15 slaves frozen up and compacted into a container unit, so that transport and handling is easier for all parties involved.


Imperial Slaves on other hand are living inside a container unit that is repurposed as a living area.

 

[Vandaahl]

I always fly in a continuous cork screw when hauling slaves and imagine I hear then moan... Is that wrong?

 

[Riepah]

So far I've only dealt in non-imperial slaves twice. Once, I bought 2 and freed them, another time I saved them from dying in space by scooping them up, then dropping them at a black market because no mission to save them was available and I don't like flying around with illegal+stolen cargo. In both cases, they were better off, even if those sold at the black market probably are still slaves now.

On that note, I don't think we should be restricted to freeing slaves only when a random mission allows it.

EDIT: Wait, make that three times. Once a station selling slaves offered a mission looking for slaves at the same time, so I bought and sold them back for more.

You should have a collar fastened to your own neck for engaging in the heinous crime of freeing a slave.

What else shall I listen too when I go to bed and dream sweet dreams?
