I think some limiting could be good. Not sure if 1 rank will be too restrictive though. We can give that a roll next Tuesday.

No disagreement there. However, did you mean for everyone that climbs the ranks in the military careers to do so at the price of collecting a bunch of rivals? None of the military careers give CHA but many of them give REP. On the flipside you could go be a full-time navy character and gain...

Couple of more thoughts on the contacts / rivals - Players tend to see the things listed on their career choices as bonuses for their character. If the player rolls up a contact, that's exactly what they get. They have a (small) in-game boon and a nice roleplaying opportunity. On the...

I'll have to check character sheets and then get back to you on the CHA question however I think most of them are entering play w/the starting CHA of their race. Consider this track - Species: Ogron/Venetian/Spartan or Android (CHA 2 or 1) Careers Navy Brat - +1 rep Military academy...

This is the second time I've delved into ship creation. I did not attempt to create small starfighter sized ships as I know that is not the intent of the rules at present. I like this chapter but it is quite dense. I mean to say that there are a lot of interrelated rules that take quite a bit...

Makes sense to me.

Definitely like the changes to Speed and am eager to try out the changes to defense. This will likely increase PC reliance on SOAK if they are getting shot more often. Our group at least can try it out next week.

That looks better already. One thing ... Are these two things related and/or can they be? If yes, this would be a good example of how you can translate the science speak into something more generally consumable. I can envision a table that says something like... Rocky ... terran ...

Two parts to this session. Character Creation One zero-G combat encounter (will post on this separate) Character Creation Good Psionic careers seemed to work well at first glance getting people what they need to use psionics They did express a desire to have a non-psicop career option...

Bringing these numbers into a tighter band and then balancing around that would be an excellent update IMO.

I've got a page of feedback from last night's session that I'm typing up, defense is on the list. I don't know that I'd characterize it as across-the-board too high (though that's how I voted) but it certainly seems too high at times and too low at times. More to follow.

I was thinking along the same line.

Did these get cut along the way? I'm not seeing the rules in the document. Could be I'm overlooking them. Trying to brush up on things before I hit the gaming table tonight.
