Ahem… sorry for the very long absense. Building an earth-house by hand and working for some upcoming presentations left me with no time. I am still interested in tagging along, if I still have time to enter into the new chapter.
I will post here my character development. If I can update/upgrade my equipment I am waiting the OK from the Dungeon Master if he decides that I missed the R&R on Efate. Also, how I can calculate my salary? Only 2.000 Cr for a position as a "Marine" onboard? The salary has the x10% increase by level above 1, as in MegaTraveller? If yes, what levels I should check?
I didn't pay much attention at first, but a new year has passed, yes? If that is the case, then Ajit should receive 12,000 credits for pension. And as a TAS member Ajit gains 1 high passage ticket (Though I am not sure for how far) every two months. I am not very good with the dating system in this game, but it seems like 4 or 5 months have passed. As Ajit is traveling with the crew and they have their own ship, he would sell his high passage tickets at any appropriate star port. Can anyone help me figure out how many months have passed and how much each ticket would be worth, so that I can find out how much total cash Ajit has?

No problem, we are still at the beginning of the next episode. You haven't missed out on much of anything so far.

The only issue on the shopping list is the Radio Jammer; I would imagine that type of gear would most likely be restricted to military though perhaps it would be available on the black market for double the cost.

I had considered starting out the next episode in 1116 but didn't do that in the end so a year has not gone by. The first adventure started on 002-1115 I believe and the current date is 122-1115. Each month is 28 days (At least that is what I use when determining mortgage and maintanence due dates) so we are about four months into 1115; then again math is not my strong suit so feel free to correct me.
Alright, that clears a few things up. Sorry I am still getting used to the way time works in this setting. You are correct there are 4 months and 8 days (Assuming 28 day months) between 002-115 and 122-1115. Does this mean that Ajit acquired two high passage tickets that he could sell from his TAS membership? How do you want to run that, as in does Ajit have to return to a specific world to retrieve those tickets or will any planet with a TAS hostel work?
I think any planet with a TAS hostel would be able to provide you with the tickets. He should have two tickets then and you can assume that he sold them without having to post it in the Main Thread.
The "Shopping list" was more a "Thinking out loud about stuff we might need" list. I'm not sure how much Njall's share of the "Profits" comes to, so he may not be able to afford every thing on the list - some of which (Especially a robust collapsible boat, if we can get one) are Ships Locker items anyway. If we're getting all this stuff then we ought to have at least two sets of SCUBA gear, and a quite a few flares. Maybe two Laser Transcievers…
I think we ought to spring for the jammer - Njall's Streetwise ought to help find a portable system.
While I think about it, during our travels we should have acquired some more explosives for Morfeas - we will need them.
