So what motivates the slave spacemen to perform well?

Lot of the regular motivations:

- Take pride in one's job/skill (watch Bridge on the River Kwai)
- Support your team (you don't want to be the odd one out/the one causing your team to fail its responsibilities)
- Support your family (if your family is living on the holder's estate, you might think twice about not doing a proper job)
- Survive (if you slack at maintaining the warp drive, it might have serious consequences)
- Punishment (want to go back to shoveling manure? want to receive a beating? want to work double shifts?)
- Reward (doing a good job might get more freedoms, better food, a promotion, a trip to the local brothel, even being released as a freeman)

Minnies are a tribal culture with an oral tradition.

You can guide their behaviour by educating them through stories.

Did a story on it once on the EVE-O.

Never got ISK for it and the fuckers misspelled my name.
