Thats a ship alright.  It says so up at the top of the sheet.  I'll get the pilot to tell me if its a good one.  I am just trying to fill out the salvage paperwork so we own it.

New link for the ship, which includes indicators of damaged systems. On the second page is a bunch of notes about the current state of the ship as well.

Hmm... verbal walkthrough:

The Upper deck is primarily crew space, lounge and mess in the back, cabins in the middle, bridge up front in a protrusion from the main body of the ship. There are ten 'crew' cabins, only one is locked, number ten. All are well appointed, more comfortable looking than the rest of the ship but with very generic furnishings and plain, generic clothes that may, or may not, fit anyone and represent no real style. Ship jumpsuits mostly and no personal effects.  There is a double sized and lushly appointed, but still generic "Captain's Cabin', whose hatch faces the bridge.  At one corner from teh bridge is a lift that traverses all three decks, suitable for moving small cargo (man portable crates) and people, at the other 'corner' is a briefing room.

The middle deck is something of a working deck. There is a medical bay at the head, and the center space (analogous to the cabins, occupying the center space surrounded by passages) is a workshop area and a small (crew cabin sized) garden area, complete with some edibles that looks quite overgrown and ill-tended.  To the rear, behind the stairs is the upper level of the engineering compartment, which is mostly open gantries and walkways, with ladders leading down to the lower level and even up into the 'sealed off' portion of the upper deck.   Unlike the upper deck the middle deck has no outer compartments (such as the room you woke up in) as the bulkheads block access to two weapon bays, one on each side.

The lowest deck is, aside from the rest of engineering, mostly a cargo bay. Up front you find a Big Locked Door, the Ship's Vault, which you cannot access at this time (its locked), while fuel processing is to the rear. There is a central Ship's Boat (30 ton launch) in a docking cradle 'in the floor', which can be used to haul cargo from orbit to teh surface (the ship itself is not designed for atmosphere. Emergencies only), and can be used to 'skim' unprocessed fuel which is then routed through the fuel processors automatically as part of the docking cradle.  Currently the Cargo bay holds one large (ten displacement ton) cargo box (shipping container) that has been opened and is full of boxes and boxes of 'ration bars' like you found in the mess, a few bins of scrap metal and random ship parts... representing 15 tons of metal!, and some heavy metal shipping crates that are palletized, but could be moved by two people.

In profile the Ship appears to be a truncated reverse wedge, like the hood of a cobra maybe, with big heavy shoulders (the weapon bays), a small head (the bridge) and a belly underneath (The cargo bay)


As for the status... well, I guess i'll post that IC.

Sorry for the delays, but I just got back from a 14 hour day, so I'm going to bail on this morning's posting, I'll make up for it with a solid post when I wake up!  Please do enjoy this chance to talk amongst yourselves!

Yes, not much posting last night either... no signal most of hte night, so rough all around.  Or would you rather the excuse that involves ninjas, chinese submarines and lizard people/atlantean hybrids in a world spanning plot around the last of the mohicans and his role as the inheritor of the Merovingian throne?  Its pretty good too...

Headless and ffliz? Did you guys get the links to your character sheets?

Opaopajr: I've got to rescan yours, the margins were whacked. Look for a link in PMs in the morning.

Ras: If you're still playing, I'll get your sheet up tomorrow too, I swear!  I've been busy fighting off ancient demon ninjas from before the dawn of time and, well, I'm swamped! Those little bastards are tenacious!

Sheet got.  I think I have 1 more point in astrology but I got it.

Yea, got my sheet. I should have Engineer (M-Drive) instead of Engineer (J-Drive) and Engineer (Electronics). Honestly though, instead of such a big sheet, I'd be happy with a much simpler sheet... Traveller really doesn't need this kind of character sheet...

Hmm... I'll double check the issues you guys brought up when I get back from work. The raw data that the generator creates is hard to parse, and I know we were discussing specialties but I may have missed noting specific choices.

If I recall ffilz, your Electronics choice came from the package list I passed around?

As for the sheets the Moon Toad sheets I sent out are actually pretty good compared to the Mongoose sheets I've got, though the weapon data portion is... well, it doesn't line up what with the range bands and no information on magazines and so forth and obviously no psionics data (which is fine for the vast majority of characters adn games it seems).

Yes, my Electronics came from the package.

Right. Like a dope I used a package list from 2ee, there is no electronics in 1e, so I gave you a second engineering from the 1e package I was supposed to using.

1e has an Electronics specialization of Engineering, which works fine for me.

Do your best! I believe in you! :cool:

I'm trying to be circumspect in character until I have a better idea where, when, and what I am doing here. This will likely involve more IC drinking and awkwardness.

Okay, so I've updated the physical copies of your character sheets, unless you think its supercritical I'll just leave it like that for right now.   ffilz, you may have got a free skill point from me, try not to abuse it if you did, since I'm sure I gave you SOMETHING for that electronic's skill, but clearly it wasn't engineering... and since I'm lazy I just tossed the Engineering where it belonged all along and pretended I dun gud.

Opaopajr, I've got your sheet still to re-upload, so you should get that in PMs soon enough. If I were really lazy I'd just link you the bad margin copy already uploaded to buy time...

Ras? Ras??? Eh. I guess I'll do it anyway, just in case. I'd hate to neglect him and find out he was just waiting for his moment to shine.  

@ spike.

Have you read Dan Simmons Ilium?  Its a two book serries Ilium and Olympos.  I like Simmons, and the theams or setting/atmosphere are simmilar to what you seem to be going for.   An ancient vanished civilization, a war or cataclysm in the distant past, and a band of travelers wandering the ruins trying to make there way, find their place, and figure out what happened.

I recommend.

I just registered and sent you a PM. Never played Traveller before but would love to try it out. I admit I wrote the PM before I've read the thread of yours as I like to think up char concepts before being influenced by anything (world state, who the most powerful beings/factions are, ect) so I don't try subconsciously to fit into norms or to make my char better positioned for power and be gamey.

edit: Spike wrote me he ended the previous campaign, as I wasn't part of that one I wouldn't mind joining a new one right away.

Well, I'm still down to retry a Spike PbP Traveller game. So whenever you're ready, buddy!
