Perhaps "trait-izing" political, um, philosophy is not a really good idea. Some people consider their political beliefs to be extremely important to them. Why not represent that in the trait system? The only good reason I can think of is to avoid the Trese Bros seeming like they are endorsing a particular political view through positive trait bonuses, but this can easily be solved by giving any traits about political beliefs downsides as well as bonuses. For example, the Libertarian trait suggestion I made could have its possessers lose morale on high Gov worlds, while they would gain morale low Gov worlds. |

and if you wanted to dodge the bullet of having a hundred humourless libertarians coming here to discuss political philosophy in the ST2 world (to be met with a different hundred humourless communists, who also have opinions along those lines) you might decide to call it 'anti-authoritarian'. I would think that people who wanted to escape high gov worlds and run away to space and adventure would not be that hard to find in a crowded universe. I'll bet some of them find the somewhat military nature of a Star Trader ship to be rather more authoritarian than they wanted either.

I don't see Hypochondriac here. Maybe I wrote it, and forgot to post it? Maybe I posted in the wrong thread?
At any rate the idea is that this one always wants a trip to the doctor, so whenever you go visit one to see who needs healing, a hypochondriac will always show up, needing a nominal amount of healing -- even if already over the HP healing limit of the doctor. You can spend the money, but they won't get any healthier. On the other hand, if you _don't_ spend the money, their morale will drop.

According to fallen there already is a Homesick trait, though not in the table I see, which makes crewman more likely to desert when they reach their home quadrant (or home planet, I forget) |

That is not a trait, that is just a nature of how crew members consider desertion.

I have had some ideas about mutinies today that became a couple of trait ideas,
I don't have a great name for this first but I just like the idea...
[Wolf/deceiver/hidden traitor] increased chance to start a mutiny, decreased chance to join a mutiny, ALWAYS starts a mutiny when this trait is discovered
[Puppetmaster] bonus tatics, negotiation, and charisma, rolls charisma check during a mutiny to pull [tatics] crew members to own side

"Hates Syndicates", "Loves Syndicates", "Hates Clans", and "Loves Clans" could be added. They would work like the "hates/loves faction" traits, except they would take effect on any faction of the particular faction type, rather than just one particular faction.
