Paying very close attention to skill tables and skill choices when you get to make them is important. Every career has chances to improve ability attributes!I do have a house rule for chargen that I give my players two mulligans for the entirety of generation. They can use it on attribute rolls, qualification rolls, benefit rolls, etc.The party I have right now for my Pirates of Drinax campaign looks like this;Merchant Marine with skills in piloting and trading.Ex-Navy comms officer with strong skills in sensors and leadership tacticsEx-Marine grunt with skills in heavy weapons and leadership tacticsAn Aslan doctor with strong skills in xenobiologyAn of course, a nearly useless debutante that has loads of credits and connections everywhere. A pretty diverse team that can solve just about any problem one way or another. I certainly enjoy the players knack for avoiding combat when possible. Seems they are always looking for clever solutions. A very refreshing break from traditional kill everything and ask questions later gaming.</blockquote>
