A new currency when we already have an unused stat called “Treasure”?

“Treasure” seems like it would be used for more esoteric things (more like white market versus black market things or whatever).

I see this less of a currency but a measure of resources used that can’t be exchanged or go back down.

How on earth do you use this resource? We won’t have NARCs, only a field tracking “NARCs that a Captain has paid to create Vessels”, which happens to be named NARCs. Would the the field go up or down as you spend this mysterious non-existent resource??

TyGuy6: Everyone notionally has infinite NARCs to spend, and this keeps track of the number spent, so it goes up when you build a Vessel. It does interact weirdly with the definition of “spend” in the “Numbers and Variables” rule and so it maybe could use a change of verb.

Oh nevermind on that point, I used “pay” and not “spend”... but it still may be worth a fix later to clarify.

  because it removes the limitation of captains only having one vessel at a time

This is worded weirdly. right now it just tracks the number of vessels that have been created?

No, the cost in the ruleset for a Vessel type increases by the number that have been created in the last watch.

The inflation part seems like it’ll end up being quite unfriendly to new members, especially if NARCs will end up being like upkeep costs.

As much as I want more vessels,

CoV as this possibly invalidates pending Orders to add Vessels to the game, which is all we can do right now. This could still be worked into Treasure by allowing Treasure to go negative, and appropriately balancing the reward for the Diving Into The Sea From Your Submarine action.
