Gene-Modding?

That reminds me of a question I had for a long time: does wealth distribution during and after the Rushes look at all similar to the old-Earth ones, i.e  the majority of rushers ending up in the red?


Right now PC can have more money than they know what to do with, but most of the ways to earn it are pretty circumstantial or Steele specific.

I think most do end up in the red. According to the indentured servant traders in the enslaving Sera doc, a lot of rushers take out loans to buy ships and the like and end up not being able to pay their bills and get all their shit repossessed and a collar slapped onto them.

They almost certainly end up in the red most of the time.  Most of the successful people out on the rush aren't those seeking adventure, but rather those taking advantage of the willingness of adventurers to spend lots of cash.  If you can plonk down a shop with things people need or want that are hard to come by out on the frontier, you'll make bank: this is what I wrote my blacksmith doing, for instance, parking right at the edge of the frontier and selling weapons that appeal to people wanting to go on vacation, come back and say they had an Indiana Jones experience without actually having to go out into the woods and get raped by bugs.
