Sea Pay goes by the length of the ship. Look at the sea pay chart.
My appologies to everyone for encouraging this off topic subject.
But, a comment for this topic...... Bummer!! it would be nice to have a GM and a ME on these boats. I think it would be a fun and great platform to be on.
I guess they will have the GM doing the weapons thing and probably a BM doing the LE thing.
