[QUOTE="LordEntrails, post: 7123953, member: 6804070"] Well, in starship combat? What can someone do who doesn't have starship combat skills? Might be some interesting ideas, I don't think I have them but I will try... Can't really leave the ship, space is too big to think that a PC in a suit could sneak onto or be close enough to the enemy actually effect them. Maybe if they were laid as a mine, but that's a pretty small use case. So, other than weapon systems, how can they reach out? Maybe try some computer hacking? Use comm systems to try and access and hack the enemy ships? Or at the min, perform electronic countermeasures. But that just might be spaceship skills again, depends on the system I suspect. Maybe make something useful from the cargo? Mines or debris fields or decoys maybe (I'm thinking Firefly like). I think that only leaves things to do within the ship then. And as others have said, not much useful there. Repairs, coffee & laundry... Putting the party into a space ship is pretty limiting, and then putting that ship into combat limits actions even more.
