Beerfarer?

[Richard Bong]

Since the Starfarer is intended to carry liquid cargo, and since every port has at least one bar, it would seem logical that you would need something to transport liquor and beer in bulk to keep the bars running.
The Starfarer fills the role nicely.
More importantly though is the Starfarer has a refinery on board to refine fuel and refining fuel is skill based.
What if, instead of a person with the skill to refine fuel aboard you carried a master brewer or master distiller?
Could you use the Starfarer to brew beer?
Distill spirits like Rum, Vodka or Whiskey?

That would be lovely. I would hope that is an option, but I somewhat doubt it.

give @Richard Bong an 'A' for originality

I wish I'd thought of that

I like the way you think!

A few streamers have a beer starfarer animation they use. One or two are in TEST. :P It's been a while so forgot which one uses the beer starfarer, not in test there's GHG who has an original animation as well.

Since the starfarer has a nice bit of space in the cargo hold, they should make a module that puts a bar in. That way, you can make the beer and sell it, which'll massively increase your profit margin. Also, you'd have a bar. :)
I know this thread is called 'Beerfarer', but I feel like 'Barfarer' would be a better fit in this case.

Mmmmm Beer

@Blind Owl called it a beerfarer in response to a post I made in an anniversary sale thread and inspired me. :)

Beer, submit the ideal to cig

 

[supitza]

These tanks are made for hauling
And that's just what they'll do
One of these days these tanks
Are gonna spill all over you!

I cannot claim any responsibility. The Beerfarer idea was theorycrafted heavily a couple years back, and even then it wasn't a new idea. Turns out TESTies have been thinking about this since, well, since the beginning of TEST time...

Rum Running, trading in "East Indies goods," distilling alcohol on a ship are concepts that predates the United States. :) I never believed I was first. :) Though I have been joking about it since joining Test. :)

The Starfarer becomes available, again, shortly. I just thought it deserved a thread for the sale. :)

The name Beerfarer, though, I had never heard before you mentioned it.

I figured it deserved no more than an E for effort. :)

Haha, tis a great name, the Beerfarer. And she's a hell of an amazing ship. You would be doing yourself a favour by picking one up, that's for sure.

I figure the Beerfarer would be more like a variant on it's own, like the Gemini, except instead of militarized, it's beerified.

You may be onto something. Best call the TESTgineers to see how quickly this variant can be produced. Mass produced.

This has been the plan ever since they showed us the starfarer. We shall make and take all the booze. Nobody give @Blind Owl a ride though, he will suck your ship dry.

No spilling. That is alcohol abuse.

I was product testing. Quality control. God man, let it go!
