For out of character discussion.
Hello!
I am giving you guys some leads on ships. I've tried to put something in there for everyone but not necessarily for all your ship shares. The shares work as per the book. This is just something roll play your decision making on.
You also stopped a pirate raid on a trader and have a partial ownership of the Massive Haul, a Free Trader type A right out of the book.
You have a piece of a few other ships as well.
@GM-T
With the 4 year Diletante 'term' I did.
Would I have been getting my pension each year as well as the 24 High Passages payouts from TAS?

I made 2 enemies during my time in the Navy. But due to the nature of the enemies, they could be anyone. So I'll roll twice on the table to see who I ticked off with my heroism
Crusading Journalist
Military Governor
I need to start doing all this fleshing out also
The Alex connection is Term 7 -- I think that will be a BROKER skill
Need RH to come back to us ...
If the GM wishes:
Just TAS 144k Cr
Welcome back!
So we are atm, roughly on 34 shares
I think Trawets mentioned possibly a marine. I had deleated the marine I rolled up, So I will roll a new one in case you all would like to have a tank instead. I'm good with either character, just let me know.

Very tanky indeed.
His 6th term event fits PERFECTLY with my event btw
Very tanky indeed.
YEah, lucked out on a lot of that. Need to do RL be back later. Happy to play either character, we can take a vote or something later.
I am ok with the marine...gives us a little more muscle which I am sure we will need. I like your 3rd term crime event, but mine is Good Fortune...so maybe somehow we are interconnected. Maybe you helped me escape my dilemma but by doing so you lost some standing (Soc -1), leaving me deep in your debt. Or something along those lines!
Alex perhaps your sixth term could fit with mine...I was investigating something at the local naval downport and needed your help...or maybe you came to us for outside support...and I was wounded during the climax of the investigation/take down. What do you think?
im happy to link both of you in the event, dont mind that i only get 1 bonus from it, what i wrote up just fits amazingly. heres the gist of it :
With good Intel it came to light that a dreadnaught would be the target of pirates . In the way of sabotage, it would be disabled during a routine run and then it would be attacked.
My character took command of the ship. Stopped the sabotage and waited for the pirates.
When they arrived. They found an obviously very functional dreadnaught.
After a brief fight, the pirates were beaten and some captured. Interrogation revealed the mastermind
They then jumped to the planet, at the planet a wide broadcast:
"This is Admiral Axel Black. Captain of the UDN Yamato. The governor is hereby stripped of all ranks and privileges. Prepare for landing craft"
With that 2 battlecruisers and a carrier jumps in as support.
The governor was deposed and arrested
Later it comes to light he escaped with help, before he could reach earth for trial.
Can obviously still work on it if people want to add or edit ideas from it
I just realized I screwed up the stats, I though the first 6 was an 8, I double checked, it didn't effect any of the rolls, and I forgot to add a second 'education' skill.

I like the event, it ties in well with the marines "planetary assault" assault. The question, do we have him pick up a skill @ 0 or add to one of the other 0's? Here are his 0 level skills Vacc Suit, Carouse , Athletics, Tactics, and Stealth. I'm thinking adding to Vacc Suit, unless you can think of a 0 level skill we need.
Maybe he should hang out in engineering?
The other side of the coin is the skills from the Scout: Athletics 1, Astrogation 1, Carouse 0, Comms 0, Gun Combat 0, Jack of all trades 1, Mechanic 1, Medic 0, Pilot (small craft 1) (spacecraft 1), Recon 0, Sensors 2, Stealth 1, Streetwise 2, Survival 0, Vacc Suit 1, Zero-G 0,
He's more ship minded but still not Engineering. When I rolled the marine, I didn't think about the 'higher ed' table I figured you all had that handled.
I'm not sure if we have someone with Medic. But looking how your character turned out. I'm not sure he's a dedicated medic either :P
Unless he's one of those 'ill walk through a hail of bullets and laser fire to come and patch you up' :P
Other than that. Up to you what you want him to do or be able to do

I missed one education skills, I can make it medic and add medic from one of the connections. Or I can do the same with engineering...would you rather he be able to fix the ship or the crew?
personally, the crew. but thats me
Remember that a skill level of 1 is considered actually proficient and enough to get a ship job. That said, I also agree with Axel. Take engineering.
Rion has Medic-0 which is enough to get us through ... until we can buy an autodoc ;)
welcome to the crew :P
now just to wait if the 5th person decides to finish their character

now just to wait if the 5th person decides to finish their character
I have some finishing to do also
I need to document the connections to Axel & Lucian (BROKER 1 & BROKER 2)Want to make sure we have an edge making money ;)
Can the 4 of us who are here at least start to discuss the Skill Package situation? Rion really needs GUN CBT, and as I said before, the package with 9 skills could be advantages also.
we will each get 2 skills out of it, i agree
and other than a GM veto, i dont see why not
Only thing i need to do i basically add the package skills (if i get an extra one) and do some write up on his encounters
You can start the package discussion now if you like.
huzzah. so first, which package?
You will need to decide the package. And then once we know final number I will roll for order of picks.
Yup, my question was in general :P but thank you :)
What are people feeling? I am feeling that we are a little short on ship skills, and a little short on both ship & FTF combat skills.
Think of Rion (or Jason) as a LAWYER. His highest skill is ADVOCATE, and ADMIN, BROKER, PERSUADE, all of these back that up. He's the business guy. He will focus on making sure that the team is profitable, AND get everyone out of jail if we weren't supposed to walk around with Laser Pistols on our hips.
So he is missing GUN CBT, and that is the one thing I would love for our package to have.
Also, if there are 5 of us, there will be 1 or 2 people who only get 1 skill.
I had said TL 11 in recruitment I just had to go and find it and confirm it.
Pinvendor said he will try and have a character finished today. Hopefully that will get you some engineering skills but we will see what comes up.
Traveller Skill Package: Pilot (any) 1, Sensors 1, Comms 1, Gunner (any) 1, Gun Combat (any) 1, Persuade 1, Stealth 1, Medic 1.
Explorer Skills Package: Pilot (any) 1, Astrogation 1, Sensors 1, Survival 1, Recon 1, Gun Combat (any) 1, Stealth 1, Medic 1
Investigator Skill Package: Advocate 1, Admin 1, Investigate 1, Persuade 1, Stealth 1, Streetwise 1, Computers 1, Sensors 1, Gun Combat (any) 1
Starship Skills Package: Pilot (any) 1, Gunner (any) 1, Engineer (any) 1, Mechanic 1, Sensors
1, Medic 1, Comms 1, Astrogation 1.
from the above, i think Traveller or Explorer would be best bet
Starship i think is TOO focused
side note, im tempted to create his asteroid with the code too
Just so it is clear you get those skills in the package as they are listed, they cannot be used to raise a skill. So Recon 1 is Recon 1 not Recon 1 +1 to recon 2.
If you haven't done so please read all the skills so you know what they do. Most are obvious but something that might be covered by perception but have 2 or more skills covering it in Traveller.
I like the Investigation Package...it seems to have a wide variety of skills....My two from contacts will be computers 1 and carousing 1. If I can only take one for the package I would grab Computers again...giving me Computers 4. I also am wondering if it is possible to get wafer jack and neural comm implanted (Possibly using rogue connections to receive a TL-13 model ?? :-) lol
darn, okay, seems i will be down one of my pilot skills to just 1 and not 2 :P other skill then i guess
We absolutely need it - there are multiple turrets on all the ships we are considering

Yup...with a 3 in melee (unarmed), he should be able to train you pretty well
Love it - a hacker and a lawyer. We should sell this to a network ...

could be the NEW Firefly...lol
that makes me a mix between Val/Wash
that makes me a mix between Val/Wash
just kidding, Rion can be the hooker, oops, I mean Companion
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
all the skills i have as 0 :
Astrogation 0
Computer 0
Deception 0
Flyer 0
Space Science 0
VaccSuit 0
so any of these i can take will technically be an increase
Maybe I will take Computers from both contacts and then stealth from the package??
I think I might be Badger from the series lol
please remember that we can practice all of these while we are in Jump Space so that we can increase them. It isn't a short process, but we can do it. It is actually a shorter process for those who have a lower Skill Total
