2) Drop ships sound nice
Though main ship is good too

"good me have dead the enforcer and it time to look at ship move with engineer know and tool"

Spoiler: Survey (click to show/hide)

I'm gonna assume everyone can participate in this.
Landing the main ship sounds good to me, the only reason I'd think a drop ship would be better is if the main ship was massive.

Landing the main ship sounds good to me also. Plus we could turn off the pilot AI and save some money/energy/whatever it is AIs consume.

I don't really mind the OOC formatting during this between period, but if players want it, I'll toe the line.

Landing the main ship sounds good to me also. Plus we could turn off the pilot AI and save some money/energy/whatever it is AIs consume.

I don't ever want it to be optimal for a job to be filled by an AI than a player, so if that is ever "solved" new things will be introduced to guide that back on track.

Here is the passage from the update that explained it:

AI BOTANIST: "Captain, the AI crewmates may not need food, but our systems put a strain on life support. Some plants that can improve air quality will be replacing some food plants, which will unfortunately need to be many of them. So long as we resupply after a mission, food supplies should be sufficient...though it will increase overall mission expenses.

...and Starver summarized it well:

something to do with power for AI takes away from power for regular atmosphere scrubbers/reprocessors (thus needing plants to pick up the slack) and/or the growing of air-freshening plants (that aren't food-producing ones).

Just to say that, as a "lurker-plus" participant, with my cameo part, I formally abstain from the vote. Mainly because I'm as interested in seeing what happens as anybody.

My obviously OOC theories and other interpretations can so easily conflict with WoG. If I chanced to be right this time, don't count on it happening again!

Besides, when it comes to options for getting to the surface, what decent starfaring race hasn't set up Space Elevators on every conceivable planet or moon?

Hmm, Space Elevator still doesn't make my top 3, but it gets points for originality. Though the part about the game being just a bunch of world that "already" have them doesn't appeal as much to me.

It's time we graduated.

Episode 1: "Pilot"
Part 3: Rodents


Landing Raptor is a little rough. Her crew quickly suits up in full environmental gear, which offers a lot of protection against all but the most rare hazards, but are dreadfully hard to move in. They also grab the authorized guns, blasters that cannot fire upon fellow crewmates.

They embark in the dust storm and meet up nearby with the Crix'uq archeologist. It's a trap! "Hah, you fresh-faced mercs are sooo gullible! Put down your blasters, hiding up in the hills are tons of my boys with their sights set on each of you heads!"



Ship:

• ENGINEER (ACTING CAPTAIN)

• AI PILOT
• AI BOTANIST
• PASSENGER
  

Away:

• CAPTAIN
• DOCTOR
• ROOKIE (PILOT TRAINEE)
  

Other:

• PIRATE

Combat
Each person has an 'authorized gun' and can fire on non-crew persons that are listed in 'Other' above. Post SHOOT @ <TARGET> in boldred text. This cannot be undone---do not edit this post. The target dies immediately(I do not need to announce it). Both ship-bound and 'away' crewmates can continue to talk to one-another in the thread. Discussion in the thread is not heard by 'Other' NPCs.

Invoking Tropes
(This is an extremely new experimental mechanic, so expect heavy revisions in the beginning, which I'll give notice for in the Updates spoiler in the future.)
You can attempt custom actions by invoking tropes. Specifically ones associated with exciting and immersive storytelling. Some examples:
- Cool of Rule
- Chekhov's Gun
- Rule of Cool
- Big Damned Heroes (pretty much everyone is still very green, so no heroic tropes yet)
- Fridge Brilliance

CREW (AWAY), the default options available to all (individually) are to:
A. Flee to ship
B. Surrender
C. Find cover/Do nothing

CREW (SHIP), the default options available to all (individually) are to:
A. Join away crew
B. Take-off (Acting Captain command to AI Pilot)
C. Do nothing

Turn 3 Ends ~Midnight PST Friday
(Update may come sooner, depending on my availability/if all moves are in. The Captain will now have the option to "hammer" a turn, ending it immediately(actions will be accepted for a minimum of 48 hours after my update). If you don't want to do anything, let me know you will skip your turn. If your action in the thread contradicts something you say in PM, I will use the PM.)

Spoiler: Crew Manifest (click to show/hide)

Crew Manifest:

#1. CAPTAIN	• (a1s)	• CRIX'UQ	• Command
#2. ENGINEER	• (King Zultan)	• VIOLET	• Upgrade	• Disable
#3. DOCTOR	• (Luckyowl)	• CRIX'UQ	• Examination	• Sedate
#4. ROOKIE	• (Secretdorf)	• ZEBRA	• Intern
--. AI PILOT	• (Starver)	• AI	• Travel
--. AI ENFORCER	• (roseheart)	• AI	• Inspection	•Detain
--. AI BOTANIST	• (roseheart)	• AI	• Gardening

Rank
The crew manifest is listed in order of rank(AI have no rank). Rank dictates who becomes captain if the current one quits, dies, or is removed. If you become captain, you will have the option to change back to your old role by passing on command to the next-in-line, or you can retain the role, permanently. As this is a private operation, the captain can adjust crew rank.

Mutiny
The current captain can be replaced if a majority of the other crewmates vote for MUTINY in bold red font, and THE ENFORCER must not OPPOSE the vote though they do not need to support it. THE CAPTAIN and AI do not factor in the vote. An AI ENFORCER prevents mutiny, but can be disabled by THE ENGINEER. The captain will be taken to the holding cell and become THE PRISONER.
