Gauging Interest: Star Trek (Icon)

I don't have a problem with this Theroc. I will set one up as soon as we are ready to start.

Rhun - yes, each of you will be a department head. I will give out the department head skills and bridge certification as Narrator's freebies, as well as one advanced training. The NPCs on the other page are some of the NPC that you can have character interactions with.

The department head and bridge certifications come out to:

Administration (Starship Administration) 1 (2), Command (Starship Command) 1 (2), Department Head +2, and Promotion +1.

Everyone will get those skills above before the advanced training. Also since you will be the tatical/security chief you will attend the advanced training of the Rapid Response team (considered to be the Starfleet Marines):

Energy weapon (Phaser Rifle) 1 (2), Heavy Weapons (choose specialization) 1 (2), Planetary Tactics (Small Unit) 1 (2), +1 vitality or dexterity edge, Promotion +1, Code of Honor (Rapid Response) -2.

A Lt. Commander costs 6 of these promotion points. Once you get in the game it is harder to achieve rank since then you also have to have certain renown levels

You will also recieve 2 pieces of personal equipment: Compression Phaser Rifle (Type-3C) which is a lot shorter than the normal rifle, its about the size of a carbine. A Force Shield which emits a force shield from an arm bracer. The shield itself goes from your shoulder height to just above your knees on the side you wear the bracer. Hiding behind the shield gives you 75% cover (+4 difficulty to hit), while attacking with the shield on will only give you 50%(+2 difficulty to hit). The shield fails after taking 100 points of damage for you.

Firefights in this game are overly deadly. For the most part, most characters will be assumed to have their weapons on stun mode, unless they specifically tell me that they are moving the settings to kill mode.

Umm... Is there still room? Now the thing is, I have no knowledge of the system but as Rhun can propably attest, my brain is veritable wiki of anything scifi related... Including most of Star Treks ;). I'd love to play in ST game...

Sure Blackrat, welcome.

Ethandrew has not decided what he would like to play.
Rhun has chosen Chief Tactical/Security Officer.
HolyMan has chosen Chief Flight Officer.
Theroc would like to play a Betazoid, but has not decided between Counselor or Chief Strategic Operations Officer.

Currently the Chief Science Officer and Chief Engineer have not been spoken for. If you can give me what you are looking to do, I can create the character also.


Theroc - I have PM'd you the base character race for Betazoids. I will send you info on psionics a bit later. Since the overall size of the info, this may be broken into a couple of PMs.
 

Very cool! Lets see. Science officer would be neat actually, though there is some appeal on playing a doctor, eventhough you didn't list it now... Would that be a no-no or did you omit it because the doctor is usually not on the bridge... Except on TOS where Bones seems to be on the bridge nearly all the time unless he's doing a medical on someone :D.

As for species, I think Ktarian or a halfbreed of those, like Naomi in VOY. Though again, a Zaldan doc would be a neat idea, being disturbingly honest and saying what's on his mind regardless of it's appropriatines...

If you would like to play the Chief Medical Officer, Blackrat, that is fine. Since it is not really a bridge position, as a senior staff member, you can come up to the bridge any time you like.

Ktarians are not currently a member of the Federation, but you can always apply seperately on your own ability.

Zaldans are members of the Federation, but very rare in starfleet. The other characters would have to get use to your straight forwardness.
