[QUOTE="Wyvern, post: 182157, member: 2374"] Once again, I apologize for my slow response. The last couple of weeks have been really busy. Also, I'm going to be traveling through most of May, so my internet access will be sporadic at best starting next week. The introduction to Chapter 3 of the Starfarer's Handbook says that "Open Game Content in this chapter includes game rules, statistics, abilities, mechanics, and material derived from the d20 System SRD, including all class names, class features, and abilities." I interpreted that to include the rule mechanics for pilots and mechanists. The background info is closed content, but the rules can't be, because they reference the SRD. As for the Dragon Knight class, I was planning to email the author and ask for his permission to include it. I'll probably take care of that when I get back from my trip. Since this is so far just a rough draft of a fan-created project, I didn't feel any particular urgency about it. Besides, if you think that the class doesn't belong in the Cosmonomicon, it may not matter anyway. I included that feat because I thought it would be appropriate for use in boarding maneuvers. Ditto for Battle Assist, Crack Shot and Defensive Shooting. Good point, although I'm not too worried about it at this stage. If this project ever does see some kind of publication, I'll go through and excise direct references to it. Unless I can get permission from Andy Collins or whoever has the authority to give it. By all means. Just let me know what you want me to add. I'm open to suggestions for a new name for the Skydancer, by the way. I don't really like that name, since it doesn't (to me, at least) evoke the swashbuckling type of character I was trying to represent. I originally called it the Windrider, but then I found out there's a class in Masters of the Wild with the same name, so I had to come up with something new on short notice. Wyvern [/QUOTE]
