Deep-space exploration of 30 jumps! Meet exotic aliens, dig up treasure, get blown to smithereens, return to Colonyworld to earn respect of the colonists!

Each Jump will test one or two players' skill or maybe allow for different outcomes. A piece of junk might turn out to be super useful equipment if your weapons officer works with it! Or maybe it will auto-destruct your ship, who knows.

5 players needed. Each player must have a different Class.

CLASSES:
A) Weapons Officer: +2 to Ship Combat rolls.
B) Engineer: +2 to Repair rolls.
C) Marine: +2 to Personal Combat rolls.
D) Physician: +2 to Surgery rolls.
E) Astrophysicist: +2 to Navigation rolls.
F) Xenolinguist: +2 to Diplomacy rolls.
G) Scientist: +2 to Research rolls.
H) Cadet: +1 to rolls of 3 randomly chosen categories above.

INJURIES:
During combat or certain events, a crewmember might get injured! They get -1 to their rolls until healed. If they get injured while already being injured, the second injury kills them! Care for your crewmates, as they're your meatshields (and you're theirs)!

Jump choices: 3 outta 5 crewmembers gotta vote.
Event choices: Crewmembers vote and best candidate to handle the choice is chosen (otherwise a volunteer is needed).

[Criptfeind]

Cripto the Cunning Linguist. Is here to be the good ship Explorators Diplomancer. (F) Xenolinguist: +2 to Diplomacy rolls.)

Also vote for Tactical Sequencer

[Tiruin]

Sign me up as a Scientist \o/ (Tiri Rin)

Ship name: The Intrepid

+1 to Tactical Sequencer; Haspen mentions that :

[23:41]   Tiruin   How many Extras can the ship have?
[23:41]   Hatkitty   as many as you find and manage to get working ;v

I have it in mind that there needs to still be an officer for specialized research stuffs or something, because that would really make a nice mark even if we have ship systems supporting it.

Also if we pick Thrusters, we remove the current -1 and boost it into a +1, but that only all covers evasion. The Tac Sequencer just balances that evasion out (but gives a +1 to all others)

[flame99]

Eliza Tenzhen, Xenolinguist
Voting for The Intrepid. Also, I think we should take Poly Armor. 17 hull points sounds like a lot.

EDIT: Oop, Xeno is taken. I'll go engineer

[Twinwolf]

Joining as the Physician. I vote Grav-scanner

[Harry Baldman]

Astrophysicist, Tactical Sequencer

[Parsely]

Cadet
Ship Name: As Many Worlds As Strands in Your Satin Mane
Grav-Scanner ((when in doubt, FLEE))

[Maegil]

I volunteer to be an Astrophysicist (Ninja'd) Cadet (Navigation, Weapons, Engineering) aboard the "Gil Eanes", named after the first man to go beyond what once was considered the impassable edge of the world.

I vote for the grav-scanner.

[scriver]

Katinka Scrivic, Weapons Officer
Ship Name: HIGMS Indefatigable, or Ikaros (obviously)
Equipment: Thrusters (So we can properly make love to any Sentient Space Nebulae we encounter)

[Haspen]

'The Intrepid' with Tactical Sequencer installed, and Cripto, Tiri Rin, Eliza Tenzhen, Twinwolf and Harry Baldman on board set sail!


After departing from the Selene Moonstation, The Intrepid spends the next colonial day thrusting to the edge of the Colonia system, until it is clear from any gravity wells like the system's gas giants.

Then, it engages it's Jumpdrive, the computer locking onto...

A) Stable jumppoint. On-board scanner indicates massive star in the system on the other side.
B) Stable jumppoint. On-board scanner indicates medium-sized star in the system on the other side.
C) Unstable jumppoint. Furthermore, on-board scanner cannot give information on the system on the other side.

//To proceed with Jumps, at least 3 out of 5 crewmembers must vote for the destination.

Info on the options:

Jump choices: 3 outta 5 crewmembers gotta vote.
Event choices: First crewmember to vote 'wins'.
Personal choices: Crewmember in question must decide.

[Tiruin]

Following this through 

I feel like this game will be like a medieval fodder-lite, with more emphasis to teamwork and the players.

...That, or I feel like the ol' roguelike Prospector again.

[Twinwolf]

[Haspen]

The crew of The Intrepid decided on the destination.

The darkness of the space outside wobbles and the points on the black stretch into infinitely thin lines for a brief moment of space-time, before the Jumpdrive disengages and the reality returns to normalcy.

Jump 1 of 30

The Intrepid is on the outskirts of a star system with a yellow star in its middle!

2, 6

The onboard scanner detects several rocky planets with no atmosphere and two gas giants. Scan results of the planets will surely entertain the scientists back home.

The more interesting thing is a space station floating in orbit of the second gas giant!

A) Quickly sail toward the spacestation.
B) Attempt to hail the spacestation.
C) Ignore the spacestation and move on.
