Actually the other concern would be, how long would we actually have? If we have to get these berries stored somewhere in only a few hours we might not have much choice.
I'm currently traveling, so my posts may be more sporadic than usual.
Would Manage Course be a viable downtime activitiy?
Hafipaer would mainly relax while they travel in the drift. Maybe read up on the gangs of Akiton to understand what has Xevras a bit spooked.
Oh yeah, I'm assuming we split the credits evenly so we each get 100?
I'm happy with that if done like so
Sorry yall, life and work are both doing a number on me. I'll get caught uo and move forward ASAP.
It's a bit of an adjustment trying to think of our characters as space truckers instead of heroes. :D
Yeah. I've played neutral players before, but they've all been in the heroic APs. This guy is just a ballsy heigh-challenged pilot.
There are times when you have the means and opportunity to be heroes, and to be fair you already made one heroic choice by going against EJ and making sure Pratt got paid, but it's tough when you're just the blue collar crew living paycheck-to-paycheck, lol.
Assuming you wait just a little while for Horizon to get bored as Tause suggested, you won't see him (until much later in the AP, perhaps), so now is probably a good time to go ahead and level up!
Wait, already? Okay!
Yeah, well, I dropped an encounter that was uninteresting filler clearly intended to bump exp. If it had at least been an interesting situation, I would have set it up, but it was the equivalent of fighting a random batch of dire rats just to help the characters level.
Ah, that makes sense. Anyways, I had miscalculated Ace's skills, so they're up to date now. Abuse the DEX skill boost from shifting as much as possible is the plan. Yes, that means once it's feasible, a literal squox is going to be your pilot. No bonus feat since he has the Racer Archetype, so not much to choose on level-up.
woo

Oooo, I'll have to write about why Xevras decides to pick up a level of Soldier. :D
I will work on leveling later this afternoon.
Isn't it baked into your background to be a Soldier-Technomancer combo? Or am I thinking about another character?
i havnt gotten to updating the crunch yet, we are finally starting to unpack in our new place, so weekend are rough
No worries, but before I forget, please please please link your character sheet to the status bar lol. I keep forgetting to mention that would make thing easier for me by a lot =P
Doesn't need all of it, just the important bits.

The *potential* to be such is there, he just hasn't embraced the Soldier side yet because he has... complicated feelings about his parents that I haven't gotten into much yet. Time to fix that!
One benefit to Large over Tiny: weapon sizes. I feel sorry for anyone who wants to play a Novian. They're paying out the rear for weapons.
There, Xevras leveled:
+7 SP & HP
Blitz Fighting Style (+4 Init, +10 land speed)
+2 Fort & Will
+1 BAB
Ranks in Athletics, Computers, Intimidate, Life Science, Mysticism, Physical Science, and Survival.
Proficiency in heavy armor, advanced melee weapons, longarms, heavy weapons, sniper weapons, and grenades
Sniper weapons are fun :)
Except when you have a Dex of 8 :D
Xevras is pretty much a pure melee character except for spells that don't take attack rolls.
Yeah fair enough. My other Starfinder character on the boards is a culty linguist Mechanic with a sniper rifle, and it's been fun playing a more chaotic character than usual. By a large margin.
It was so satisfying when she shot someone from about 400ft away with no range increment.
I've finished leveling up. Mystic doesn't change much at level 2 really. I do have medicine now but I am not great at it since it is an INT skill in Starfinder 1E. Still, better than nothing.
God I complained about this in a different discussion board. The way 2E is so strict on skills bugs me. It stops you from even entertaining the idea of someone who studies for things like Medicine. Medics? Nah, they go by the seat of their pants! (Mostly just venting, it's not THAT serious.)
I love practically everything else about PF2E though. Playing my Kitsune character opened my eyes to how much fun you can have with 1E's skills. Kitsune Trickster - Empiricist is HILARIOUSly fun.
So I just realised how fast he is now from level 2
Four handed hacker halves his hacking time
All-Code blessing halves it again
Haha, that's nice. I get a free reroll on Piloting checks in exchange for a lost feat. You might want to put info in your tagline, Robyte.
Hey guys, I figured I'd check in on here. Did I miss a message that we were pausing things? I wasn't sure but it's been a week. I'm not in a rush but wasn't sure what might be going on. Thanks.
I was wondering, too.
Sorry, every time I announce "I'll do XYZ in so many days" real life grins and gets ready to bully me. Which is to say I'm getting caught up on everything now and will have posts up today/soon after having major life distractions.

No worries on my end. Life happens.
Better you announce stuff like this instead of ghosting us. Or ghosting us after you take over our campaign. God I was unlucky with that character.
Yeah, I admit I have a real problem with that. When I'm overwhelmed/sick/heavily distracted I tend to avoid everything even though it would only take me a few minutes to just say, "I'm alive, I'll be back." Then things compound because I don't. I'm aware of my issue with it, I'll try and be as mindful as possible going forward.
Edit: Correction, I will absolutely be more mindful of this issue going forward. I need to be more assertive in my thinking when it comes to fixing my messes, realized as soon as I hit submit that was weak-sauce and leaving myself open to failing to improve on that problem. I will do better.
Life can be challenging, I get it. I've been pulled away from here at times and failed to connect in a timely fashion before as well. The fact that you are willing to run a game is one step further than some. So understand, I (we most likely) appreciate that and that you are trying your best.
I perfectly understand the feeling, glad you're back!
I was going to post but it's going to be until Monday before I can. XD
Xevras takes up a 2x2 square as a Large creature, btw.
I always forget to resize him, doh. Will fix that sometime today/tonight.
You okay Robyte? Given my own proclivity for being unable to get online sometimes I'll extend a little more time before I bot, hopefully all is well!
Sorry
Seems all my chats were cleared. Didn't see any updates
I'm chuckling to myself about how Xevras has no clue what's actually going on. :D
Was away for weekend. But I'm back. Unexpected service outage
So, are we aureendering? I spoilered Ace's actions if we aren't, since I don't think there's any checks for slowing down.
Ace has no clue either. He got his paws on a chance to race and is absolutely manic about it.
If you really want to be stuck on this planet with brutal hobgoblin occupiers it's a good choice. It isn't one I recommend, however.
Once again, I feel the need to remind folks that book 1 really, really makes the characters (and possibly the players) hate life. Just bear with it a little bit longer and things will be much better soon, lol.
