Magic Officer, unfortunately.
Unless I can slot this boon:
Aeon Caster Launcher Upgrade (Starship Boon): When this boon is slotted, select one light weapon onboard your starship. Replace this weapon with an aeon caster. An aeon caster is a light direct-fire weapon with medium range, and the mystical special property. An aeon caster deals 3d4 damage. This new weapon must go in the same arc as the replaced weapon.
Mystical starship weapon property: When attempting a gunnery check with a mystical weapon, which is a hybrid device, a gunner can use ranks in Mysticism in place of her base attack bonus or ranks in Piloting, and her Wisdom modifier in place of her Dexterity modifier.
Then I'm a +6 gunner.

@Oddman: I definitely recommend slotting that boon. Having more options is a good.
Fexia can serve nearly anywhere on the starship and is not picky whatsoever. Just not magic officer.
+11 Piloting, +8 Gunnery, +13 Intimidate, +11 Computers, +11 Engineering
She'd be a decent pilot, captain, gunner, or science officer, as well as a passable engineer. If she has time to remove her armor, she can be a decent first mate as well with +10 Athletics.
@Hellih/HK: Zargothrax is a bit busy dealing with Daatch right now, so Hellih will have to meet another of my characters.

If Oddman is on Gunnery, I can go to Magic Officer.
I also can slot Defender of the Fleet upgrading out Computers (another node or +1 to bonus) or Thrusters or letting us re-roll 1 on damage dice for weapons.

Ceolor's able to serve as captain or a gunner, he has a +9 diplomacy, +9 bluff, +6 intimidate or a +7 gunnery. Sadly there is no way to use his ungodly Culture skill for anything in combat. If only you could taunt with it.
Ceolor is also picking up a professional tool kit for 20 credits (cause that +4 bonus is nice!)
Ceolor has a copy of Defender of the Fleet (Allowing boosting of computers, engines or the weapons) and they stack from what I can see or Skitterfriend (given we have a full 6, it'd be a +1 to someone each round that doesn't stack with the captain's actions, but can be expended for a reroll.)
Additionally, he has a copy of Efficient administrator, so any ally boons that grant skill rolls, or combat benefits get boosted (+2 for skills, +1 for combat abilities)
I have an L6 Operative free (skills for days!) or an L4 Sol/Op - I suspect that the 6 would tip us up to hight tier though.

Hey @Imperator Fexia - awesome to meet your other characters.
This team is full with people that I played with in the past.
DebugAMP, the Ragi and I played at 1-08 with mormlaws.
Agent Eclipse, Sedoriku and I play at Shifty games, currently in a team of Skittermanders playing 3-03.
Plenty of great players.
With regards to Starship
Hellih can cover most of roles
Pilot: +10 (4 ranks)
Engineer: +11
Computers: +11
Gunner: +7
From the boons, I only have Hero of the Stars (when our hull points go to 0 we regain 5x tier level of hull points ;)).

So... time to hash out some awkwardness here...
Fexia was built with the 'Rescued from the Scoured Stars' boon... and to top things off she also has GM credit for 1-99. I think I'll go with the following... fudges to her backstory for today.
She was aboard one of few the Starfinder vessels during the Scoured Stars incident that did maintain contact and remained outside of the shield, and is (during this flashback) completely overcome with a single minded goal of returning to retrieve her 'queen' Jadnura. I'll be playing her a little differently than usual.

Blinky - Pilot
Celor - Gunner or Captain
Fexia - Captain, Gunner, Science Officer, Pilot, Chief Mate
Hellih - Pilot, Engineer, Science Officer, Gunner
Oddman - Magic Officer, Mystic Gunner
Altorin - Magic Officer
Given those I'll suggest the following default seats...
Captian - Celor
Chief Mate - (Empty)
Pilot - Blinky
Science Officer - Hellih
Engineer - Empty
Magic Officer - Altorin
Gunner - Oddman (Mystic gun), Fexia
Seeing as Engineering isn't usually necessary right away I figure Hellih can jump between Science and Engineering as needed, and I can fill the other seat as well if it comes to that.

When it comes to ship Hellih also votes for Drake.
Drake.
I haven't seen a scenario yet that gave any serious benefit for the Pegasus, just some minor +'s to rolls, and these in no way made up for the firepower drop.

Slotless: Team Spirit, and more
Welcome to my patented One Big Mess (tm) system of starship combat, where everybody just gets to shout their orders and I'll resolve them in a way that makes sense. Often, key information like available arcs will not be known when you post an action, so feel free to go a bit into 'if this... then that...' territory to keep the pace up.
If you guys prefer a more structured (i.e. slow) method of resolving space combat, let me know.
I'm giving a lot of info in the report. If at any time you spot me making a mistake let me know. I'll be making a few just to check if you're paying attention.
I’m going to grab a computer bonus for R3 initiative , keen to try and get us into an advantageous position. Would also happily take any captain boostage

Hey Folks,
How about this turn we bring second engineer on board? We could move Ceolor for 1 round as a gunner and Fexia as an engineer.
If Hellih again tries to remove the drones, We are again without front shields.
On top of that, I think we got a couple of crits, we could patch them (engineer), we can reposition shields (science officer - move all from back to front), we could turn around and let us get hit in the back (Blinky flying).
Or, we could do something even crazier: Blinky could Glide as a minor crew action and aid with engineering or science officer. If Fexia would patch a system we could catch up a bit. What do you think?
I realize i forgot to update dashboards. Will do that tomorrow, when back at my pc. Current display is not accurate (but ship positions on map are)
Ready for round 4 movement?

Hey Guys,
When I ask for your opinion I would really like to hear it:P At the moment we have no shields in front arc , we move as the 2nd (Blinky took no action this turn yet). Hellih has at least a couple of things that he could do and I am not sure which one is the more important one
Remove the drones (can be done by Hellih or Blinky with stunt)
Restore some shields (with engineer action)
Move some shields (with science officer action)
Patch engines with Fexia to remove -4 mod to every engineering action
I would appreciate some advice on what to focus. Around the table we would get into an agreement what we want to do in a moment, but here it requires for people to write their opinions ;)

LOL Ninja'd you...
I just moved, the drones are off.
Rebalance > Patch > Restore.

Sorry, all the posts just make it hard to figure out where and when I need to apply my rolls especially since my only really valid option unless we get out of range is to effect the helm phase.
Filling in with captain was a bit easier but still tough to figure out who I am allowed to boost sine it would be retroactive.
Starship combat in general is still one of those things ive never been able to wrap my mind around in PbP.
Boost ahead? Pick a person and declare boosting them next round - they can then add it into their rolls as well
Shirty is my new favorite cartoon character

Fexia blasts the dragonkin with his laser, and while Ceolor positively engulfs the dragon in red-hot plasma, it doesn't seem to affect the large fire-breathing creature much.
Considering our levels, I wouldn't be surprised if he has fire resistance 10 or something... can someone do a life science to check?
