Oh, that'll be a nice change. Thanks, GM. :P
Merry Christmas, all you backwards folks! Day's been and gone Down Under :P
Just think of yourselves as the wine tasters of the world down there. If the day doesn't kill you, it's good for the rest of the world. ;)
Mate, you know what our weather and wildlife are like. Nothing can kill Australia. ;-)
What could possibly go wrong!
Imagine the GM's face if we had declined lol.
I was tempted. "Screw you, GM! We are going our own way! ..." *looks about for a "way"*
Hey, you could have, I wouldn't have been upset. Your client, though...
That said, I hope you guys are ready to roll some dice. :D
I have no idea what I'm doing! Woohoo!
Another way of rolling Fate dice could be 4d6 and just look at the rolled numbers for each die. 1-2=- 3-4=0 5-6=+
Or you could go with 1d6-1d6
Your call GM
I picked the method I did because it involved the least conversions. What you roll is what your result is and no need to remember that 1-2 is a -, 3-4 is a blank, and 5-6 is a +. That said, if people seem to be having a lot of trouble, we can try other methods.
Yikes. I see a lot of failures in our future.
And yes, I do see Aurora as having a 'Pretty Woman' moment ;)
Hopefully Dr Newgen can keep his Trap shut and look pretty. Somehow he cheesed a good look together.

One of my favourite movie quotes is still "Big mistake. Huge."
Derp derp derp, I missed the part where it's my turn to post

Do I get points for knowing exactly what the important launch device was without clicking the link? :D

Me too?
I do I get points for knowing, and how to mostly solve one?
Are there actual formal "roles" to fill or are we making this part up as we go as well?
Whatever seems logical. I don't think we ever really defined roles on the ship.
I think I'm the ship's Docter. I might fix people but I think Dr. Newgen is more interested in his experiments.

My constant fear is that when we start talking about 'stations' some people might feel out of place, and any space combat will run the risk of being boring for some people. Also, it makes sense that the crew would discuss this before hand.
Hence, here's a little list that might be helpful. Whenever we do anything 'spacy' just report to a station and we'll see how things go. (Again, I'm assuming that we're going with FTL rules that someone at a station, even untrained, is better than just having no one at the station and leaving it up to the 'dog brain' AI of the computer).
Stations:
Pilot: Anton (Yes!)
Engineering: Sirus. (Duh!)
Sensors/Science station (think of the thing that Spock does): Aurora
Shields/Secondary Internal Security: Noreen
Navigation/Primary Internal Security: Travis
Secondary Weapons/Damage Control: Dax
Primary Weapons: Val
Huh. That...that was oddly easier and better than I thought it would be. If anyone has suggests or modification to this, feel free!
Looks good to me.
The list is really well done. I like it. One question, is “communications” a type of Sensors task, or does it fall under the Captain’s job to talk to other ships, authorities, etc.
I would give that one to the captain
So I went out this morning and discovered that somebody broke into my car. I'm mad as a hornet and I've got to deal with the police/insurance/DMV so I won't be posting tonight. Sorry for making you guys wait, I'll try and post something tomorrow.
Yikes. That's no good. Here's hoping that everything's okay and nothing was stolen (or at least nothing irreplaceable.)
Tasks look good to me.
Aurora, that's sucky news. As I said elsewhere, I'm free if you need to vent to me about that s@&*, but otherwise, just do what you need to do to get it sorted. Hope it works out quickly.
You guys can go ahead and launch without me. Aurora's busy nursing a hangover and creating algorithms based on a rubik cube.
I agree and also vote Fine Tuned
Thirded. You won me over with "do things whole bunch more betterer".

Sweet! ;)
Anyone mind if I invoke a new PbP rule I just learned about called the Rule of Two? It says whenever two members of the party say their gonna go somewhere or do something, that thing happens. (Obviously this isn't gonna happen 100%, but for minor things or for keeping the plot going it seems to work well. =)
I find that is generally the case. I didn't know it had a name though. I like it. :)
Also, I think Anton makes up more nonsense terminology than Sirus. :P
All these things, of course, have a proper name. We just don't know them or, in some cases, refuse to use them.
I like the Fine Tuned Aspect and Anton’s Rule of Two.
I agree to both. Do we want/need me to use It Checks out to deal with the authorities? Would I still be hungover for that? ;)
I see Aurora and the good Doctor splitting up a lot of the science duties. She's got theoretical knowledge and Dax has the practical experince. Aurora also considers the ship's computer to be her baby. She's kind of like eccentric computer programmer in space.
Fine Tuned she is then. :D
@ Aurora: Give me a Physique roll at -2 to see. >:)
I'm assuming that roll might not be high enough for now. Sorry Aurora, trying to save the med-bay aspect for an actual emergency.
That depends, do you and Aurora want the fun version, or the "fun" version. :)
Oh do we have small cabins or a communal room, like a cot with a foot locker for everyone?

I'm gonna -heavily- suggest that we all have Firefly-esque sleeping quarters (small, personal rooms) but a communal kitchen.
A communal kitchen provides all the plot-space we need for group activities, but communal sleeping quarters simply negates all the oh-so-juicy drama needed for...personal stories. ;-)
(Also, communal sleeping arrangements suck. Can speak from personal experience. Just...just don't do it. :p)
Sirus uses his "room" for personal storage. He sleeps in a hammock in engineering. :)
