So I'm going to go ahead and close it down. This was actually my first, and longest running PBP game to date. Thanks so much for helping me to test out my sci-fi rules everyone. If I ever have the time to start another game with these rules I'll let you all know.</p>
<p>Eoriel, I'm especially sorry to you! I made you wait so long and then you only got to post a couple times. Hope we can play together in some other games in the future.</p>

<p>The martial hero should get a bonus feat at first and second level, then every even numbered level thereafter. Just like a fighter.</p>
<p>I never specified weapon groups for the weapon training class feature feat. They are pistols, carbines, rifles, melee, and explosives.</p>
<p>Finally, I slightly redid the armor section of the equipment. I changed ballistic armor to give DR, and the others to provide energy resistance of the appropriate type.

<p>Now jokes aside. You're right in the rank problem in regards to pacing. To continue your suggestion perhaps assign mission specialist in command to switch up the decision process.</p>No... I like my rank.

Perhaps switch up your roles on the ship to be more of an 'away team' type deal? There are two reason I haven't been DMPCing more. A) I hate doing it, it takes a ton of time (which I don't really have due to the amount of games I've got going on) and makes me responsible for your character's actions. B) Most of the non-combat decisions are coming down to being made by Leo because he's the senior officer.</p>
<p>If you were all still officers, but of equal rank, and not involved in direct decision making for the ship as a whole it would make things go faster I think. If Ageera is in charge (ie the person all of you report to) and the ship's AI and crew run day-to-day stuff, then the PCs can function more like a traditional D&D party without waiting for one PC to make decisions.</p>
<p>In combat, I'm fine with DMPCing people who haven't posted. Especially if it's one person holding up the fight.</p>

<p>I found a pre-published sci-fi adventure in an old issue of Dungeon. I'm going to convert it for this. It'll probably take me a while to finish, but since the pace of PBP is pretty slow we can get started again before I'm totally done converting it.</p>Agreed.
