What are the names? I'm so confused is it just Mother and Wicked Harpoon? Because if Gungnir is still in the running I like that one. If not I'll go with Wicked Harpoon as well, but does it looks like a harpoon? Or a rust bucket?

Seeing as it was originally a transport ship I'd say it should be named something like The Albatross, its pretty basic but it fits.

:C I was here at the very start of this thread, and even made a picture of my potential character, but then i didnt understand the actions/ dialoge thing so i stalled, anyways i might show you the picture of the character i made,
but even tho im not crew, i always found the words "The Barracuda Infinity" cool and i also named my ship that in Starmade, but those are my words of advise if you are choosing the name of your ship.
ow yeah and i was planning on being a engineer, im curious how this whole thing turns out, the idea sounds really cool

Well, shit, you missed out, man. You might still be put in later though.

Considering how low some of the Endurance/Agility is one these characters, they'll die off fast.

Sniper rifles, probably not.

Submachine guns? Fucking definitely.

Guys, this game is going to be essentially Casino in space. You're not PMCs, you're not military, you're not some super army guys. You're essentially homeless people with a ship, some gas, and a taste for loot, willing to steal or work for anybody.

Quote from Captain Cook
I don't know why people always go super heavy into Intelligence on online games. Just like real life, it's good to be smart, but it's not really practical.

It's the job which the users took. Since us Engineer's are specifically there to fix any tech problems, it should be a given that we'll do our duty as swiftly and as efficiently as possible, thus, maxing our INT stat would really allow us to bring out our Engineering capabilities. I think Nish, being the captain, maxed out his perception and charisma as he will be the one leading us and that he'll also play a big role in overlooking everything, so these 2 stats will be very crucial for him.

Just my 2 cents.

EDIT:

Ah darn, I did not know this. Is it too late to change our stats?

Yeah, change all your shit. I'm not starting this until you give your ship a name.

For the tl;dr

VOYAGERS = HOMELESS PEOPLE IN SPACE

YOU ARE NOT ASSASSINS. YOU ARE NOT ALIEN AMBASSADORS. THERE ARE NO ALIENS.

YOU ARE PIRATES AND MERCHANTS LIVING IN A WORLD OF COMMERCE, CRIME AND DRUGS.

There's been a little bit of confusion as to the image of this game, so feel free to re-spec your characters and choose amongst the new jobs I'm posting on the front page. I will only do this now, and this is your last chance to change jobs and shit. I will update the front page in a second.

For your backstories, keep in mind that you've ended up on a shitty, re-purposed trading ship, so you being some alien expert doesn't really make sense. Spoiler alert, there aren't any aliens in this.

Change stats for "CIPHER":

Perception = 6
Endurance = 6
Charisma = 6
Intelligence = 6
Agility = 6

So it's like Freespace or DarkStar One, got it.

Or you know, those kooky and cheesy space sitcoms in the 60s and 70s XD

Anyways, will you allow this character, Cook?

NAME: Tina Shane
Age: Forever 21
SEX: Female...in likeness and as far as the personality matrix allows
NATIONALITY: No idea. Dozens of engineers have worked on her for ages.

APPEARANCE: Tina is actually a visual representation of the Ship's onboard Medical Facility AI. Because of a previous mishap involving an Orgy, Space Truckers, and Space Truckers Who Turn Out To Be Space Pirates, the actual Medic was flushed from the Space Lock in a Booze/Drug-related incident (that shall never be spoken of again).

As a result, TINA (Technological Intelligence in Nursing Ailments) was automatically launched as an emergency protocol in the form of a hologram who can go anywhere she pleases, save for where there isn't a projector: The Captain's Quarters (special order required), the front of the ship (where the pilot is--no idea what its called), and Storage. She can freely roam around the hallways and common crew quarters as well as have limited access to engineering (where the engines and labs are). She can venture outside the ship but only within a certain radius unless she is carried with a personal Holographic Projector Device (which is the size of a beeper in the 90s, clipped on someone's belt). In addition, she appears in monochromatic tinted blue like an old television show and can only avail of full-color HD Resolution for about 12 hours because Science.

And in case you're wondering, this hologram is a special hardlight technology so yes I can in fact hold objects in my hands.

While the ship provides a near-infinite power supple, it is obvious that if the ship were to suffer some heavy damage and the power somehow flickers or dies, Tina will become nothing but a disembodied voice in the air ducts (running on aux power) until someone can activate a projector. And if that is running out as well, then yeah. I'll still be in the projector, you just won't be able to see me.

Finally, because there hasn't been such an incident since the 80s, Tina's firmware was never updated and thus she looks like an 80s SciFi Cosplayer complete with sexy latex jumpsuit, cheerleader-ish ponytail, and visible nipples seen through her tight suit (although it isn't really obvious unless you squint seeing as she's a monochromatic Hologram to begin with), much to her chagrin and the probable satisfaction of her previous creator who probably lives in his basement jacking off the space porn.

PERSONALITY: Being an onboard medical AI, you can expect her to be extremely knowledgeable in her field. She is logical, but strangely caring for the greater good over the individual means. Something in her programming or perhaps the heart of her creator has caused her to feel this way. She can also be extremely blunt or dense at times. She will also often reference her previous officer, the boozehound-medic-who-deserved-to-burn-in-hell, for advice on what not to do. (btw, the previous medic and her creator isnt the same person! She's been updated and installed by different engineers over the past century.)

Position: Naturally, I heal people. With my love.

Perception: 8
Endurance: 2
Charisma: 8
Intelligence: 9
Agility: 3


Cook, I request special rules for my character. I've already mentioned where I am allowed and not allowed to be, as well as my limitations outside the ship. Would it be possible to be able to Appear instantly as if teleporting between locations within the ship despite my low Agility? But I will not be able to do so outside the ship unless someone turns off my projector then shoots it at another location. Also note my 12-hour lifespan.
