He's listed as the lowest level officer rating you can get, but officers get access to passenger ameneties, so he gets the same awesome food, pool , etc when off-shift. He also has zero expenses for 10 months out of the year (other 2 months ship is in refit) so it works pretty well. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Any info wrt what the 'other ranks' get? I have this image of a movie I saw once where the Capt of an 18th century UK ship-of-the-line lived in a sumptous suite while the lot of the 'swabbies' was truly abysmal... -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
