I couldn't read either Navy or the normal blue on Darkling, so I've opted for Teal. Does this work for everyone?
[/quote]Personally, it looked like someone was using Teal already I'm ok with anything you use btw.

Well basically nothing happened before you entered the room . As in, the Astropath reported when we will arrive (which you would know, and would probably be the one to tell him in the first place), then the Senchel said he would take care of the resupplying (again, not something the Navi would have to worry about.) Your ideas on how the ship are doing are incredibly important, but there isn't much to talk about if everything is normal.

In terms of hierarchy, you are pretty far up there in terms of influence. You are basically a noble in your own right, and you wouldn't be invited to the meetings if you where not important enough to listen to.

Woo~ So it's just me worrying too much about one single interpretation of the Cap'n's words! Yay!
Also woah, lots of things learned--I didn't know there was some kind of internal mishaps within a ship itself, even if a frigate (since I'm so used to the wider scale of things, ie "Escorts, light cruisers, etc"). Nice to notice all that by the Seneschal's words
...Although I've no idea if I can be creative and report anything else other than 'we're doing well in the warp' reading up what the Navigator does in the corebook. o_O

Okay, so anyone not attending the opera, give an idea about what kind of place you would like to head to.

I'd imagine messing about in the ruined sector, grabbing a few drinks, and attempting to requisition some items would be what Bron would do at the station. Probably not trying to be too noticeable, hell I'd invite the Kroot and a couple entrusted crew-members that can hold a gun to see what slaneesh pleasure cults trouble we could get into in the ruined sector, plot-hook provided or not.

I wanna coooome o___o These are one of the rare times I'm not bound to the ship!
...Unless I'm assuming too much in saying 'the Navigator belongs on ship a lot more than most other crew'. Maybe it's just 'when the ship is needed to go, just like every other essential crew' and all.

I think it's a "The ship sails with the tide, but not without the navigator," situation.

I think MNiI made that part up himself (do note it was a Shakespeare reference .), but it is certainly a nice detail. You could probably add small details like he did, a lot of weird stuff happens on Warp Trips. As a player, you probably aren't tied to the ship and can leave basically when anyone else is able to leave.

Astropaths signals are sent through the warp, directly to other minds.  Receiving or sending them while in the warp itself can be more difficult, dangerous and allow for easier interception by warp-creatures, but it is certainly doable.  Imagine if a ship sent messages by tossing around blood packets, and the ship is surrounded by sharks.  The time and space dilatation do not help.

A ship can generally limp home without a navigator, but would be subject to worse warp trips and very short hops.  You would loose all time dilation and it would take even longer then normal, making a trip of a few days into months or years.  Navigators are essential.

Since you are rolling PF, its probably a good time to bring up this question:

The existing missionary will probably be scrapped anyway for a rogue trader.  Average rolls for an arch militant, but you could very well be a leader of soldiers as well.  Maybe an ex-commisar!

Arch militants get very cheap combat related advances also.

Also someone chose Footfallen, that should probably apply to the Aurorus expanse anyway, but wanted to make sure you wanted the Kronous expanse stuff to apply instead.  Fish in water and fish out of water both have an appeal.

In case you were wondering the warp gate exits on the edge of the Calixis sector at a Fortress world once used as a border defense before the Arguile Crusade.  A battlecruiser and three cruisers plus adjacent frigates make up the world's Naval defenses, though they are of little use to you due to the six month journey to get to the other side of the gate.  They are primarily to keep riff raff from escaping.

Also the rogue trader needs to add the last child to his character sheet.  Gain Barter and Trade(any one) plus +3 to Int or Fel.  You also lose 2 profit factor.  As I am choosing it, it is free.

Are we still doing that? Cuz the current sheet is the outdated one before adding that. I'll upgrade the current link if so.

No don't worry I just needed some rivals you fleshed that out nicely.

Oh woah, betting games earn acquisition stuff for items o_O
...My having the Emperor's Tarot had me remember a post or quote made by someone (as a comment on a Bolt Pistol webcomic) that it could help in games of chance or divination in a way. I wonder if I can use the Emperor's Tarot (I can't find the use in the corebook, nor its mention at all) to help me in these cases. :3 I'd love to boost my acquisition for a conversion field generator. \o/

I wish I was more knowledgeable in Shakespeare. :c I didn't get it!
And thank you kindly.

Tarat cards are mostly a myth, you won't get any better premonitions than you would in real life . The non-myth parts are if you are a psyker with the Divination class, in which case you can actually use the cards to product the future. They are actually used there in the core book, on page 168, but again only for people who can actually use it. And if you could use it, it would be cheating to do so and we could hardly stand for that .

I just noticed that I miscalculated and we actually have a value of 0/1/0 in our ship. >_> It was originally based on Cript's count...which also lacked that 1 space out of our Sword's 40. :I
There were sooooo many calculations I wanted to put but it just lacked one space. Although I didn't even consider counting it again because of checking ._.

Spoiler: Silly bonus ship (Sword Frigate) (click to show/hide)

45/40/10

Jovian Pattern Class 2 Drive Markov 1 Warp Engine Emergency Field Repulsor Shield Combat Bridge Clan-Kin Quarters M-201.b Auger Array (External) Vitae Pattern Life Sustainer Dorsal: Mars Pattern Macrocannons Dorsal: Mars Pattern Macrocannons Arboretum Runecaster Cargo Hold and Lighter Bay Any Actual 1/1/1 component (Astropath/Trophy/Temple-Shrine/Librarium/Crew Reclamation) I had used this to upgrade our sensors to the +10 from the +5. Actually considering all this, at a base point value (So, Strelov 10/10/0 instead of Markov) we have the following leftover, considering everything in the upper area + weapons and Arboretum/Runecaster set:

-45/10/0 12/12/1 2/0/0 6/1/0 1/1/0 1/4/1 5/0/0 4/2/0 4/2/1 4/2/1 2/2/1 0/1/2 1/2/1 1/1/1 4/2/2 Used 2/2/1 to upgrade engine to Markov 1 (1d5 WEEKS cut off from warp nav) Shadowblind bays cost 3/4/2, an extant upgrade of "2/2/1" from our CH/LB 2/0/1 leftover 5/5/4

Spoiler: Basic notation (click to show/hide)

Jovian Pattern Class 2 Drive Strelov 1 Warp Engine Emergency Field Repulsor Shield Combat Bridge Clan-Kin Quarters M-201.b Auger Array (External) Vitae Pattern Life Sustainer Dorsal: Mars Pattern Macrocannons Dorsal: Mars Pattern Macrocannons Arboretum Runecaster Basic Leftover:

-45/10/0 10/10/0 2/0/0 6/1/0 1/1/0 1/4/1 5/0/0 4/2/0 4/2/1 4/2/1 2/2/1 0/1/2 6/5/4

ARGGGHHHHH THAT ONE SPACE.
Really messied up this. :I

Still of the opinion that upgrading everything essential is of priority. But from that calculation ending in 5/5/4, I added in the Command Bridge, Deep Void Auger.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

From 6/5/4, possible upgrades calculated from the basepoint are:

> Markov 1 Engine > Cargo Hold and Lighter Bay > Compartmentalized Cargo Hold > Shadowblind Bays > Deep Void Auger Array > Command Bridge > Augmented Retro Thrusters > Any Actual 1/1/1 component (Astropath/Trophy/Temple-Shrine/Librarium/Crew Reclamation) > Anything else that fits within both Into the Storm or the Corebook. :V

= 2/2/1  = 1/2/1  = 2/5/1  = 3/4/2  = 2/0/1  = 1/0/1  = 3/0/2  = 1/1/1

I mean ARGH ARGHHHH. I originally picked the Shadowblind + Command Bridge + Deep Void, so to use it all, but that ONE SPACE value.
I would suggest going back to the Combat bridge, and then using those stats + that missed 1 space to add a 1/1/1 compartment. But I'm unsure WHAT! (ie Astropathic room? Trophy room? Temple-Shrine?)

But...I'm technically a psyker!
And hmpf. Alright :I I'll just hold onto it so I can slap it onto Cript or some friendly other psyker who wants to use it.

I have to admit looking though all the various possible ship designed that have been posted around the thread I think I still like the second one in this post the most, even if it does end up with an extra bit of space left over.

I miscalculated, and yet my Tempest plan had corrected it

But yeah, you can get the Astropathic room, the Deep Void sensors, and the Shadowblind given the formula I presented in my previous post, last spoiler. Which leaves a perfect 0/0/0! :3
( 3/4/2 + 2/0/1 + 1/1/1 = 6/5/4. As computed. Although we CAN technically get the Markov 1 Engine + Cargo Hold / Lighter Bay or any 2/2/1 thing plus that cargo bay...
Technically, given the oversight of the lacking 1 space point--I had to shift it off to a 'Command Bridge' of 1/0/1 instead. But with it, we can get any 1/1/1 component and still retain a combat bridge!)

Edit: Uhh, what I'm basically saying is that my plan and Cript's plan missed 1 space. I had used that mistake to upgrade the Command bridge, but given the realization, I am proposing (if it's ok with VoidSlayer) to change the Command Bridge to make space for any 1/1/1 component available, (Cript says he wants the Astropath room, but he also wants to know others' ideas) or any openness given the choices listed above :O (ie If you want to downgrade the sensors and stuff)

[Criptfeind]

( 3/4/2 + 2/0/1 + 1/1/1 = 6/5/4.

Alright, yeah, that sounds good as well.

That'd be:

Jovian Pattern Class 2 Drive
Strelov 1 Warp Engine
Emergency Field
Repulsor Shield
Combat Bridge
Clan-Kin Quarters
Deep Void Auger Array (External)
Vitae Pattern Life Sustainer

Dorsal: Mars Pattern Macrocannons
Dorsal: Mars Pattern Macrocannons

Arboretum
Runecaster
Shadowblind Bays
Choir Chamber?

On a sword

Then?
