ntsheep Atlas Screams johndramey En1gma mandomaniac wascalwywabbit xdesperado The Midas Star made its way through metaspace, travelling along the currents of energy under the control of Captain Fadel. He had been rotating with Navigator Eisenwahr from time to time, using the opportunities by taking a break to stretch his legs and inspect his ship. He had faith in his Navigator, trusting that they would arrive in the Laspera system shortly. Then they would be only a few hours away, and would be able to unload the metals they had in the hold from Obloth. He would stay at the helm until they drilled back into normal space, at which point he would summon Navigator Eisenwahr to take the helm. The journey for the crew of the Free Trader vessel had been uneventful so far, travelling from one world to another, buying this such good here and selling it elsewhere. The economies of the Sector never quit, and the fires of expansion were fed by trade. The crew of any merchant ship knows this, and the crew of this ship knows it as well. It may not be glamorous work, but these days, anything could happen. This is your time to interact IC for a bit. The Midas Star will reach Laspera in about 7 hours

So, looking at everyone's character description and sheets, I think we are good to go for now! Give me a chance to have some breakfast, run a Faction Turn, and update some info, then I will start the thread!

Extended stores would only be necessary if the ship were going to make an extended journey. Should be able to just swap the Extended Life Support for the Fuel Scoops and leave Cargo unchanged then. Power and Mass requirements are the same for them on a Frigate class ship like a Free Merchant. Whoops. My bad.

Brutus Aurelius did you also add Extended stores? Rereading the rules looks like that's probably not needed as stores are figured off max crew size which the Extended Life Support doubled. Extended stores would only be necessary if the ship were going to make an extended journey.

The Midas Star has swapped her fuel scoops and some cargo space for extended life support and can now support up to 12 people on board. Her fuel bunkers still give her enough hydrogen for two drill jumps without refueling. EDIT: is it just me, or do most of the character sheets have garbled sections for the non editable sections? It seems fine on my phone, but not my chromebook. I'll try my regular laptop and report back. EDIT 2: OK, it seems that it is just Atlas Screams and xdesperado that have garbled sheets. How much cargo did we lose? I'll edit the ship sheet with the changes. Also what's showing as garbled on my sheet? If need be I'll download a clean blank then edit again. The ship went from 100 to 60 tons of cargo capacity. As for your sheet, the parts that are garbled seem to have corrected themselves. Strange, but it might have just been a glitch with Chrome.

I'll say that French, English and Spanish are the more common languages in the Sector.

Looks ok here but have no idea how it's appearing to others. It looks OK on my phone, but not my computer. It's strange, but not something I cannot deal with. wascalwywabbit johndrameyAny progress on your character sheets yet?

Is there room for 1 more? I've been reading through the manual and I just caught up on the thread. I was gonna make a space marine character of that's ok. I'll have to read up on the sector and pick a homeworld b4 I come back with a character sheet ready. I'll say that you can join, but that will be the last person we take. After that we start to make it beyond the scope of a Free Trader crew. I'll reduce the Cargo space on the Midas Star, in exchange for bumping up the crew count.

Brutus Aurelius saved both to folder. Looked at Tenkin and wondered if you'd spent all his skill points. They didn't seem much changed despite his levels. I did. He had 9 skill points to spend, and it takes 3 to get a new skill to level 1. I spent the points on some skills I figured he would need.

Hold off on the sheet for the Captain. I need to tweak it a bit first.

Another question. Do you think we should set up a Google Doc just for this? I feel like we are going to be the only thing anyone sees on the General Thread. -On the 4X and BF let's plays, it wasn't so bad because we were all further down the list. I just don't want Andrew or Cory getting exasperated that we are hogging their forum. Maybe it's just me though Well, I'm not sure how we would do a play by post in a Google Doc. As for asking the Bros, let's see what they have to say. Cory Trese fallen Is it OK if we run this Stars Without Number campaign on the forum?
