Just a heads up, Craft... Reroll aside, Harmony is currently a better mechanic than Alan. Might want to move another point into Fix-It to keep your specialty...

Not possible, the '=' sign means it's a fixed stat and can't have anymore skill points added into it.

Possibly, or it could be an advantage having a couple of capable fix-its on board.

To be honest, it might make sense for you to take some of your points from Fix-It and move them elsewhere...after all, the Mechanic is meant to be the one best with Fix-It. Your points would likely be better spent elsewhere.

I'm in, I just haven't figured out what I want to do about this game yet.
My favorite type from the show is the gunslinger-y pistol shot style that Hal has. But I don't know if I want to play that, or go for something different.
And there seem to be quite a few Alliance scum on this ship. Might have to spice that up a bit...

Indeed, Browncoats need representation! Let me know if you need help sorting anything, Stefan.

Just a note to prospective players- Gan Ying's crew only needs one Pilot, one Medic, and one Mechanic, all of which we now have. Smugglers and Soldiers by the basketful are welcome, crew-wise.

Monpany...

Since the roster is pretty much filled out, we will be starting the prologue this week! Best to finalize what you want for your character by then (including backgrounds, I hope?). After the prologue, we'll see if anyone needs or wants to make any changes to their characters (and if I need to tweak the system at all!).

Oh nice, it's going fast.

Well, here's Harmony's backstory: or, at least what she'd've told other people. She keeps to herself about this sort of thing quite a lot, and doesn't like prying questions.

Harmony was born on a Border moon- one of the ones surrounding Beaumonde, if you must know- though she and her father had to move out when he went through a rather nasty divorce and was no longer welcome in the house they'd called home. Before that, she was studying to become a pilot, almost an apprentice to an Alliance freighter's own helmsman. But, since the divorce and subsequent move to Persephone, Harmony's father started to drink, and she's been forced to take whatever piloting gigs she can to make ends meet. There is, of course, more to it, but that's all she'll say.

Giant Intimidating, will **** you up Browncoat soldier coming soon...

Looks nice, I'll create a character later.

Make it soon, I want to get things rolling.

Is there any crew template that you have too much of already?

I think you can do either Smuggler and Soldier really, the other Crew are taken, I think.

Alright, is there a maximum you could have for guns and combat?

5, unless it is fixed.
