We could have co-captains. I drive the ship and use the weapons while the dog does the stuff that requires more brains like contactionf other ships and making the right choices for the crew.

You mean you get to be the gunnery officer/navigator while Jim gets to be captain? Because that is in fact what you're describing there.

[randomgenericusername]

Yes but the name of co-captain sounds better. Even if it's just in name. 

[Harry Baldman]

I can respect that. It also helps that nobody is likely to take a ship captained by a dog seriously - better to have a bearded speechless grizzled space pirate that a dog is authorized to speak for!

[Nakéen]

The dog behind the man behind the beard.

Spoiler: Sneed the 38th (click to show/hide)

Name: Sneed the 38th
Species: Slimeon Progenitor
Job: Adventurer
Age: 259 (In a Slimeon life cycle, this is equivalent to a teenager)
Description: A large green blob approximately 6 feet in width and 9 feet in height. It's skin is slightly transparent, and it possesses 3 eyes, a large mouth with a functioning vocal organ system, and 6 gelatinous tentacles, capable of functioning as arms.

Background: Sneed grew up on its home planet, Grargle. Unlike most Slimeons, Sneed was unsatisfied with life on its planet. It inspired to reach the stars and explore the great unknown, like the great Slimeons of old. However, as a result of being one of the relatively few members of its species capable of asexual reproduction, the Slimeon government forbid Sneed from pursuing its dream. Not content with living out its days in a breeding chamber, Sneed secretly made contact with visiting space traders and hitched a ride to outer space. It's eager to join a spaceship crew and go on adventure.

Attributes:
Strength: 5
Constitution: 7
Dexterity: 2
Intelligence: 3
Fortitude: 7
Luck: 4

Traits:
Six Tentacles: Can be used for grabbing stuff or attacking people. Not very good at handling delicate objects, due to lack of fingers.
Gelatinous Form: A durable body that can endure blunt force easily and is generally resistant to most kinds of damage. Bad at maneuvering quickly and dodging.
Three Eyes: Provides good eyesight and a better awareness of the surroundings.
Large Mouth: Can be used to devour objects whole. It's digestion system works slowly though.
Birthing Organ: An internal organ that can be used to rapidly spawn Slimeon eggs, which are expelled out of the mouth. These Slimeon eggs require 3 years to mature, but they can also double as projectiles when expelled at great speeds.
No Taste or Smell: Unable to taste or smell anything.
Unnerving Appearance: Most sentient creatures feel uncomfortable around it.

Skills:
Good Aim: Thanks to its 3 eyes, it is capable of aiming projectiles with good accuracy.

Special Skills:
None

Belongings:
None

[GigaGiant]

Looks good, thanks!

On the matter of ship captain, I vote for Jim the dog to be captain. Just seems like the best choice.

[randomgenericusername]

When do we start?

[Nakéen]

How about starting in roughly 4h? Jim J. Barkley will be made captain, and NAV will still be able to join at any moment.

[randomgenericusername]

Okay, that sounds good.

[Nakéen]

Before getting started. We have to get you a starting ship. Which ship will you choose, and what will the captain name it?
The captain, Jim J. Barkley is the captain of the ship, but you will all be co-owners of the ship due to some administrative tomfoolery.


Donkey-class Light Transporter:
A very common medium-sized ship, used for shipping goods and people. Cheap and coming with a large hold, they are often customized to better suit their owners needs. As such, its customers base isn't only comprised of traders.

Hull: Medium
Shields: Weak
Speed: Slow
Starting Armament: None
Bonus:
-Large Hold

Abacus-class Science Vessel:
A light ship designed to gather information from a wide variety of regions of space. From the asteroid fields to the deadly proximity of a deadly sun, its enhanced shielding system and special radiation proof materials allow its crew to stay unharmed, for a while. It even comes with a basic built-in lab.

Hull: Light
Shields: Strong
Speed: Medium
Starting Armament: None
Bonus:
-Resistance to radiations (Hull)
-Built-in basic laboratory

Magellan-class Exploration Ship:
A very old ship model that was used during the great era of space exploration. It is very popular and balanced, designed for the dangers of space.

Hull: Medium
Shields: Medium
Speed: Medium
Starting Armament: Light Laser Turret (Front-mounted)
Bonus:
-Efficient Engines
-Enhanced Sensors

Nettoyeur-class Prospector Ship:
A type of ship mass produced for the increasing mining and recycling needs of space industry. It is very sturdy and manoeuvrable, but very slow.

Hull: Strong
Shields: Medium
Speed: Very Slow
Starting Armament: Tractor Beam
Bonus:
-Medium Hold
-Enhanced Manoeuvrability

Honesty-class Corvette:
An outdated but still pretty strong ship. Widely used in planetary security of small colonies, it is a (relatively) cheap and attractive ship for would-be mercenaries, or pirates. Advertised to the general public for its guns and durability, because that's actually all it got to show.

Hull: Strong
Shields: Medium
Speed: Medium
Starting Armament: Medium Laser Turret (Front) / 2 Light Laser Turret (Side)

[GigaGiant]

What's involved in upgrading our ship? Are all of those ships customizable? What are the most common types of situations we can expect to find ourselves in?

Until I have more information, I'm gonna vote for the Magellan Exploration Ship.

[Nakéen]

All your ships will be customizable. And you will be able to obtain a new one in the future, if all goes well. Customization is ultimately limited by the available space in your ship and the power output of your reactor.

As for situations, it depends on where you will go! Space is wide, surprise is part of the fun. Also, your starting location is a very safe place if that is what you are worried about.
