Well, an interesting way to avoid the "patron" style arrangement would be for her crimelord father to have an "internship." She wouldn't be in charge, but she'd get some excitement. But while she wouldn't be calling the shots, we all know our asses are on the line if she actually gets hurt.


Nice idea!

Us all being "small time crook" types under her father's employ would work out nicely.

A spoilt little princess character sounds kinda cliche'd though?

Yeah pretty much, I think the real boss is daddy, we are to fallow her instructions but I think we can nullify them if she doing something reckless or stupid.

That works for some people, but not all. Lance may commit crime himself, but he's smart and moral enough not to go into organized crime unless it's his only option. Of course, Kai does have two parents with connections. Lance still keeps in touch with some of his Academy buddies, and it's possible the Admiral has arranged for someone slightly less seedy to keep her daughter from falling too far afoul of the law.

I assure you, if you haven't seen Kitana take the cliche and bend it into new and interesting shapes, you haven't seen anything yet. :)

As an alternative to Kitana being here with her dad's sponsorship, she could be here without his knowledge or consent. Out to get a little excitement and work up her own little crime ring (perhaps as a way of flattering/showing up daddy/mommy). It depends a lot on how Kitana wants to play it, but I seem to recall her work is busy taking 12-16 hours of her life per day, so we may have to wait a bit.

That still leaves 8-12 hours to post. Sleep? You sleep when you're dead, not before.

I think you quoted the wrong guy, but that's okay. :) Talon himself if judge on the D&D Alignment scale wouldn't be lawful good, but he does justify his presence with the princess as simply a job and that she is a person of some power and influence and requires protection from shady people and maybe even herself. Talon also considers himself to be more than just the pilot. I also have the licenses for all my weapons, which isn’t something I see normal criminals doing.

All your weapons are legal, too? I'm surprised. Of course, my rifle is strictly speaking military, but it's grandfathered in; I got mine before they were restricted, as they were originally hunting rifles.

Yeah, but it's not really saying much as I only have one weapon right now. If I get more credits I might pick up a weapon that’s restricted, but right now after the Extreme tool kit I'm broke, but I figure we really need the tool kit for the ship... :shrugs:

Given the hints we've been getting, I'm not sure Extreme is enough. Have you looked into the Altogether Ridiculous toolkit?

Well the extreme tool kit is as much as we can afford as individuals, and even that is a stretch, but we can build a space transport-class starship with scrap material so theoretically we should be able to repair anything on the ship. :)

Theirs nothing in the Astronomical one that I can see us using, know we might need to invest in the ideal tools which cost 10K in credits. :eek:

Making my own weapons saved me 496 credits so if I can cut construction time down then I would be very much happy, beside we all need something to in the lull of hyperspace and maybe my guy can build a Starfighter in the cargo hold. :D
