To the First: I won't say who I'd like to be captain, but... *hands out "Vote Faris" buttons*
To the Second: How about the "Minnow"? Then we could be a tour ship, as well as privateers.
Lastly: What does the AI do? Besides go insane and try to kill the crew, of course.
The Minnow? Great, we'll get an actress and some rich people and then crash into some asteroid where we're trapped for 4 seasons
__________________ Where is this box I'm supposed to be thinking outside of?
Lets try again:
First the mechanical tool set that have a DC 13 I get it free, then the electrical tools DC14 and the demolition set DC 13. Also the power packs DC 10. And another stuff too I will detail later, that came from the first lvl
The droid check DC 18, wealth= 15 So I need a 3 http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1200678 I succeed so my Wealth drops 1 because its a DC greater than 15, and another -1 because its 1-10 bigger than my wealth= current wealth 13
Now for a laser pistol DC 17 so I need a 4... http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1200681 Success, Wealth drops 1 because its a DC greater than 15, and another 1 because I still have a wealth bonus not less than 7
Current wealth is now 11
Another one for the droid... http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1200731 Fail again.. fate doesn't want me to have an armed droid. FAiling doesn't make my wealth decrease
I could try again can't I? http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1200732 If I can, then I got it. My wealth decrease another 2, ending with 9.
Now I think I have it.

First: Someone needs to be declared as the captain of the ship. I'd suggest Faris as he has the best diplomacy.
This is cool with me, as long as he is a good captain. Damon might be inclined to mutiny otherwise...he doesn't take orders well.

Using Seventh Sanctum's random pirate ship namer, we get such things as:
Calypso's Disgraceful Plunder
Night's Bloody Thunder
Pirate's Dagger
Pirate's Jewel
The Cursed Executioner
The Decietful Executioner
The Fearful Hangman
The Mad Killer
The Bloody Nightmare
The Cruelty of the Ocean
The Cry of Atlantis
The Cursed Serpent
The Damnation of the North
The Damned Shark of the North
The Dirty Cry
The Dirty Plunder
The Gold Blade of the South
The Gold Greed
The Poison Blade of Atlantis
The Pride of the Caribbean
The Rage of the Seven Seas
The Red Curse of the North
The Screaming Hangman
The Shameful Buccaneer of Hades
Hmmm...some of those could prove decent with work.

I say off to start.

Sure, the Gold Greed makes sense, but do we want to be that obvious whenever we come into port? I'm partial to the Devious Nun or the Unknowable Brian, my self.

All kind of random namers. The Pirate SHip and Ship namer are under "Names."

There is also this thread over in the Rogue's Gallery that is assembling a bunch of random namers, and this site that has a ton of name links too.

A bit more background info (I'll compile these in the Rogues gallery later): Travel between stars happens trough a jumpgate-network (quite similar to the Babylon 5 series).
Humankind is divided into factions by allegience to the 21 colonies. (Kind of like nations) none of the colonies are currently at open war with one-another but the covert war of spies, sabotage and raiding the trade-lines is going strong.
The government of Moonbase, the biggest of the colonies, declared itself as representive of humanity in The Rebuplic of Free Stars. They try to give orders and make laws for every colony but in truth they don't have any authority over the rest 80% of humankind.
The Rebuplic consists of so called younger races that haven't yet exceeded progress level 7, with couple exceptions. Every member-race has right to govern it's own people as they see fit. There is however a special military organization that has a mandate to maintain peace across the Rebuplic.
The elder races, who have vast emprires beyond the influence-area of the Rebuplic, are mysterious and mostly strange creatures to behold. Some of them visit the Rebuplic from time to time. Their reasons for doing this remains a mystery. It is speculated that inside their borders lives many more younger races who are still unknown to the Rebuplic.
There are rumours of even older, almost god-like species who go about on their own businesses, not even noticing others.
Now everyone. Deside a colour which you use when your character has something to say, oh you know the drill, right. And Black and White are not accepted.

Yeah it does, doesn't it. Some parts a bit too much actually. I have to try quite hard to not let B5 influence my ideas too much.
Its fine by me. I actually just picked up all five seasons on DVD a couple months ago...got them on sale at Best Buy for $19 a season. Couldn't pass it up.
