If you just use an S instead of spelling out strike, it actually does what you wanted to do.

You know, its funny you say that because I feel the exact same way. Although the 5th season was good, it was unnecessary.

The reason's for that is evident if you look at the history.

They canceled the show and he had to cram everything that would happen in 4 and 5 into 4, then TNT picked it back up and wanted to do five. so it had to be kinda filled in.

I think we're getting almost ready to start. Finish your characters in rogues gallery. I'd prefer that you give us a little description of character looks and personality too (a line or two will be sufficient). When ready, write "finished" with your chosen colour at the end of your character. That way I know you're ready.

Shayuri. Just so you notice, your ship is actually ultralight. Thought you might want to change the starship operations feat.

Voda Vosa. I'll write the stat-block for your little helper today so you can add it to your character sheet.

So now the ship is named Gold Greed, Faris has been voted to be the captain (as long as he'll be a good captain ), and the ship's artificial personality is off.

We'll start as soon as everyone is ready.

Thanks! I always associated ultralight with single and two-seat fighters more...but I couldn't remember where the cutoff was.

I'll make the change.

It seems that everyone is almost ready so I'm gonna start the game in a couple of days, pending my schedule maybe today, monday at latest.

Shayuri. Pick a colour Mel speaks with. Not white or black.

(White will represent computerized voices and I can't see the black 'cause I use the default skin)

Oy, I'm quite excited. This is the first pbp I've held and it's starting up so nicely. Hope we'll have a good game.

I'll second (third?) that. Hopefully it'll hang on for the long haul as well, unlike most... Jinx!

Question regarding tech... Do you have any preconceptions about how to describe some of the technologies of this sci-fi 'verse? For example, are the engines basically just souped up thrust drives (Newtonian reaction engines that push by flinging stuff out the back), or are they superscience reactionless drives that don't use rockets, or have big holes in the back that glow pretty colors? Is there artificial gravity? Inertial reduction or dampening?

I'm willing to take some liberties, but since these options might also create game situations, I don't want to make assumptions about them.
