Wow, I get to choose the weapon. Fantasy market trading. 1 MCr and one month of jumps. (I would have said sword fight, but my luck Quinzella would bring an energy rifle to it.)

I could go with Comms as recon or survival does not fit in.
Vonon or Kheaiftouaw might want to take Medic as everyone else has medic 0 or 1.

(Also, in this version, does it require that the total value of skills be less than or equal to the combined INT/EDU score?)

Water Balloons, paint ball, thumb wrestling.  I thought those were the choices for ya Walter.

In reply to StarMaster (msg # 41):

Vonon is willing to pass on Astrogation.

My "choices", in order of preference, would be:

1. Pilot(spaceships)
2. Broker - Vonon thinks he wants to try and become a "Space Trader" - even though he has no background in it
3. Medic - I'll do it, but do we really want our Primary Pilot also be the Medic?
4. Stealth - I'd like to be able to hide from the thugs in Battle Dress...

This is where we stand now:


         Advocate-1: Darrel
      Astrogation-1: Sharik
           Broker-1: Quinzella
            Comms-1: Walter
         Diplomat-1: Walter
 Gun Combat (any)-1: Kheaiftouaw
     Gunner (any)-1: Ikram
      Investigate-1: Samantha
            Medic-1: Vonon
         Persuade-1: Quinzella
      Pilot (any)-1: Vonon
            Recon-1: Darrel
          Sensors-1: Sharik
          Stealth-1: Samantha
       Streetwise-1: Ikram
         Survival-1: Kheaiftouaw


So Darrel, Khea and either Quinzella or Walter still need to select a second skill.
EDIT: So looks like Quinzella won the duel as Walter selected Comms. Darrel selected Recon, leaving Kheaiftouaw with Survival.

Everybody's happy now!

This is not in the MgT's Core Rules as far as I am aware.  Obviously, StarMaster may house rule such a restriction.  Or I may have missed that requirement somewhere in the text of the Core Rules (though I can't imagine where off-hand).

From what is left I take Survival

Also, one connection between me and Walter

During a trade mission to the Grand Dutchy of Marlheim a freak solar storm which lasted for days happened. Every ship which left the magnetic field of the planet or jumped into the system was hit by a wave of radiation which, while not being life threatening, was strong enough to damage non hardened electronics.

During the solar storm space traffic nearly came to a complete halt and even days after that many spaceships were grounded as the shipyards were dealing with all the broken electronics (of course serving the Marlheim traders first).

To "protect the citizens from a crime wave brought on by the presence of so many foreigners" all persons not of Marlheim origin were confined to the high port which, together with so many ships being serviced in the shipyards, quickly filled the local hotels over capacity so that rooms were filled at double or even triple capacity.

During this time Khea and Walter, maybe even lived in the same room, and just talked and otherwise killed time as they were basically prisoners at the high port.

As skill I would take Language (Anglic)-1

That goes back to the original version, and I've also looked for it in this version several times...it's been removed(I had asked the same question in a couple of previous games)

Ok...recon for me.

And there we see why I did not just pick another skill :P

The hard part of playing various versions of the game.

Maybe in one of your prior vids, you  portrayed a recon leader there Darrel and got first hand training for the role.

For the connection between Kheaiftouaw and I, I picked up the Language (Aslan)-1 in return.

I guess Commo for me then

In reply to Walter Zeller (msg # 60):

you could just move on with the duel, we have been awaiting your choices for a while now.

Coming soon to theaters near you, Oklahoma Smith and Twilight's Peak; the intrepid/stalwart/dapper---explorer, finds the secret base...and defeats the aliens. Starring Count Darrell Cromwell.

Ok if anyone is still looking for connections I have a couple of possibilities open.

In my first term at space Patrol (ie 4 terms ago) I was a Pilot and also trained in Blades - so possibility could have met someone uniformed on those courses.

In my third term ie 2 terms ago I gained a Contact - which could be replaced by a link to a Character.

finally mustering out got TAS - so we could have contact there.

Anyone interested?

I am interested....
TAS certified as well

For anyone, esp the higher class, you may know me at some point or other by an Alias.

Also interested and also recieved a TAS membership upon mustering out. Could be an easy connection.

Ok Not sure if theres a limit to how many characters I could contact via TAS - would either of you be a suitable replacement to my contact? I was in Space Patrol, what would you have been two terms ago? Could we have met via a case of some sort?

Two terms ago??

I think that puts me as a spy.  So all over the place is rather likely, undercover or not.

Going to inherit Ikram's skill picks, raising Gunnery (turrets) to 3, and Streetwise to 1

In reply to Pablo Esteban Ryzov (msg # 68):

Hey Pablo! If you're "inheriting" Ikram's skill pick and you're a Marine (just like Ikram was) and the Assembly isn't too far away from Cassandra's Belt (about a SubSector distance) would you be interested in allowing me to swap out my Contact with Ikram for Contact with you?

This would allow Vonon to recognize you, sitting there in the restaurant, and get you into the group a little faster.

We could say that the two of us met back when you were a Marine, when an Assembly Peacekeeper Vessel spent a few months in Cassandra's Belt on a goodwill tour, or something.

In reply to Vonon Ronkunu (msg # 69):

Having Vonon for a contact sounds great to me.

  So would the goodwill tour and meeting Vonon have taught him Gunnery or Streetwise? Both have interesting implications...

The actual skills you gain from a Connection don't have to be skills that your Connection has. It's not so much about making sense as it is about role-playing. So if Pablo wants to say he picked up those skills on a 'goodwill tour' (threatening the natives...), that's up to him.

The campaign skills aren't necessarily meant to be something you all picked up once you met. They are meant to be extra skills that you picked up during your career/terms, as they direct you to the campaign and make you a bit more 'useful'.

  That's what I'm getting at though - the goodwill tour gone very wrong (Gunnery), or just a front for something else (Streetwise)?

In reply to Kaengarr Ruzokh (msg # 73):

Perhaps the answer to that is simply "yes."

Hello,

Finishing up a new character. 6 term Naval Officer.

Any holes in the campaign skills that I need to fill?
