The Abacus-class looks pretty good to me, radiation shielding opens up more star-related maneuvers we can do and a lab is never gonna not come in handy.

...or pirates.

I vote for Honesty-class Corvette. With the crew webhave, we will need guns, also has good defenses and is not slow.
Also the abacus has no weapons and a light hull, any attacker will easily kill us while we are unable to retaliate. My main vote is for Corvette, but if no one votes for that one I would accept the Magellan too, but the Honesty-class Corvette has stronger hull and more than twice the guns.

And the only one with science skill is the dog.
 _{Why is the dog smarter than everyone else how is a dog better captain than a pirate captain}

Is space police a thing and will they try to kill us if we go raid random planets/stations/trading ships? Or is there private guards instead, so if we commit a crime somwhere they wont hunt us in another sectors of the universe?
Do traders accept stolen goods?
Can the hull/shields/speed of ships be upgraded permanently, like from medium to strong in hull?
EDIT: I tought I had edited but instead I double posted sorry.

[Coolrune206]

I'm thinking the corvette class or the science ship. Both would gel well with our crew, and probably piracy.

[randomgenericusername]

I mean, we have only 1 scientist (With only one level in the skill, so I guess just the basics of science) and 2-3 of us are better at combat so the Corvette would be way better for piracy or at least defending ourselves (And has strong hull too) while the science ship looks very weak without weapons and weak hull.
Yeah I like the Corvette.

[Nakéen]

So the votes are tied for the Honesty and the Abacus! Well, let's have the die get the final word.
1 to 3 will be the Corvette.
4 to 6 will be the Abacus.

[5] And it's the Abacus! Actually the Honesty, due to a last minute change.

Now, how shall Jim name the ship?

Once that will be done, the game will finally begin.

[GigaGiant]

Oops, sorry guys, I was actually planning to change my vote to the Corvette. If it's too late to change my vote, then just ignore this post.

[Nakéen]

Oh, my fault for not telling that I would break a tie with a roll.

The ship hasn't been named, so for me, there is no problem to change the starting ship to the Honesty-class Corvette.

edit: I also managed to swap Magellan and Abacus names. It's not impacting the results of course.

Since Nav seems to have forgotten about this game, I'll post a character:

Spoiler: Thomas Whitney (click to show/hide)

Name: Thomas Whitney
Species: Human
Job: Disbarred Space Lawyer
Age: 35
Description: 5'11", Short blonde hair, wears glasses even though you can get surgery or cybernetics for that nowadays because it makes him look smarter, always wears a clean-pressed suit, always serious, something of a humorless dick

Background: Thomas Whitney seemed from birth to be destined for greatness. He graduated top of his class, magna cum laude, from Space Yale. However, all that came crashing down when he lost the case defending the Cutest Organism in the Galaxy (likely due to the interference of his rival, Cornelius Finnegan). The Cutest Organism in the Galaxy was then executed, and Thomas soon became the most hated lawyer in the galaxy. To escape the jeering public, Thomas signed on with the first space crew that would take him.

Attributes:

Strength: 3                  (Useful for hanging on to dear life when the hull to your right has been breached.)
Constitution: 4              (Space sickness will be the least of your worries.)
Dexterity: 4                  (Handle this plasma cutter carefully.)
Intelligence: 7             (All this space technobabble has to mean something.)
Fortitude: 4                  (In space, no one can hear you scream. Except them. Just joking. Still, don't scream though.)
Luck: 6                        (You are gambling your life after all.)

Traits:
Space Lawyer: Familiar and proficient with space laws and their loopholes

Skills:
Lawyering? I guess Diplomacy is closest.

Special Skills:
Money Man: He took an accountancy class to fill out his credits, so he knows how to manage funds
Contract Negotiator: He knows how to negotiate a good contract
Space Lawyer: I don't know if this is supposed to be a trait or a special skill, but he is good at it
I Took A Course In That: Thomas had a lot of credits to fill, so he has a smattering of knowledge about all kinds of random stuff (I don't know about this one. You can drop it if you want)

Belongings:
Glasses, pressed suit, briefcase

I figure this crew might need to lawyer up.

I like it. You will be added as a last minute crewmember when the RP starts

edit: Oh right, I need to update your sheet with skills. Doing that right now.

[Nakéen]

Done! I just removed "I Took A Course In That", and instead increased your skills in Medicine, Mechanics and Science.

Yeah, I guess that works. He probably won't actually use those skills much since he doesn't like doing physical labor himself (which I guess I should have added to the personality, but didn't think of before posting).

Proceed to add "Lazy Bum" trait to Thomas

It's less a matter of laziness and more him not wanting to get his hands (or suit) dirty.

[randomgenericusername]

Anyone has suggestions for the ship name?
