Crash/stranded near the ship, send an ad hoc boarding party to try to solve the problem/scavenge (composed of the most abled present (i.e. the PCs)), ship triggers with just/mostly just the party aboard? Combine 1, 2 and 3? Ship found (embeded in comet?), towed to nearest habitat and put in orbit at what they *thought* was a very safe distance, early activation of some of the ship's functions cause widespread shut-downs (killing some/all of the original science party on board?), ad hoc boarding party sent to try to solve the problem, combined with those stranded in the immediate viscinity (press, police/security, the curious, the ambassador standing by in case this is a first contact), etc?Re FTL, what about in-system transportation, Jemal? Can it use FTL/Hypers or is there the equivallent of a "not in a gravity well" restriction on the technology? You've also talked about speed, but what about price? i.e. 2h to get to the nearest system, but at what cost? Do people commute between systems? Work in the outer system by day, go to bed in the heart of the system's capital at night? What about freight? Is it economic to ship base, high-bulk material across systems (metals, frozen gases, food), or is it all low bulk-high value stuff?</blockquote>
