@Virex: Sure, I was hoping someone would play as a Katthara anyways. Dunno why though. I guess I'm just weird in that way.

I'm thinking maybe I should change Danni's skill set a bit.  There's a fair bit of overlap with Silas right now.  Sound like a good idea?

Yeah, it does. What did you have in mind?

Well, I was going to say that she was a good pilot from years of playing space sims, but that seems to be taken.  How about an unorthodox idea of space combat.  She's an expert at processing sensor data and understanding ships heat outputs.  That means that if a ship is flying in a dense area of space (like an asteroid belt or a planet's rings) she is good at fighting a battle of stealth, sort of like submarine style combat.  Again, she would have learned this from a lifetime of video games.

That would make for our third hacker character...

My character would be a mercenary, why wouldn't he know a bit of hacking? Besides, I made my hacking skills heavily nerf'd. If he does it the way I planned to have it, then I can open electronic locks, and turn off security cameras. That's only going to be useful for stealth operations.

@Mainiac: Asteroid belts are actually rather sparse... The chances of two asteroids being within even a couple million kilometres of each other is actually pretty low... But unorthodox space combat could be... entertaining... especially if the group got a ship with a railgun...

@Lillipad: If we need another player, you'll be the first person we ask. Right now we've got five people as it is, and I'm not very experienced at running games. And Mainiac's got a point. Too many hacker characters in a sci-fi rpg party is like too many spellcasters in a fantasy rpg party. It can go well sometimes, but most of the time it's going to end badly.

Also Homo Felis Felis is baaaad, how can a creature from another planet have the same Genus as humans? /nitpick

You really can both sig it.
But... That would break the laws of sigging! We can't have everyone running around with the same quotes. IT MAKES THEM UNFUNNY FASTER!

@WolfChild: Did you even read the backstory? The Katthara are transplanted humans who have been genetically engineered to have feline characteristics. I'm going by genetics and biochemistry here.

Hey, guys, I was wondering if you'd be interested in a fairly long campaign. I've got it planned out, and everything. Just wondering.


In unrelated news, they may have found life on titan. There's gonna be a conference on thursday. :D
