How does "Piloting -Contragrav" compare and contract with Piloting(Aerospace) &/or Piloting (High Performance Spacecraft) ?

Bonny want to claim the looted Stoemrifle. Is that ok? Is so, where do I find the stats for it, please?

Also, Bonny has had the Perk "Passing Appearance [1]" for a long while. Is that disallowed?
    (PU2p4: Ethnicity not readily apparent. May buy off racial stigma)

In reply to Luretha Setlock (msg # 61):

Passing appearance is fine; it does not change her ethnicity, but she looks like a Vilani. She still has a Geonee accent and habits though.

Interesting, it actually states that this allows buying off racial stigma? I will have to think that through.

Storm Rifle stats are in Ultra-tech,

Fine Storm Rifle with HUD sight, ST:10, Weight 10 lbs, LC3, $5,400, -$1800 trade in for carbine
   10mm CLR Rifle rounds: Acc: 6+3 (With Helmet), Dam: 9d pi+, Range 1,300/5,800, RoF: 3, 12+1(3) shots, 1.2 lb mag

Piloting(Contragrav) is used for vehicles with contragrav drives, like many Vilani vehicles, typically air rafts and G-Carriers
Piloting (Aerospace) is used in atmospheres for starships and starship-drives, typically many AK small craft.
Piloting (HP Spacecraft) is used for starships > 1G speed in space.

Sdian, good to add yours, I have done the girls though. Suggestions will be noted.

"Passing Appearane (Passing Compelexion): Your ethnicity isn't readily apparent to onlookers".

Bonny character notes have said from very early on:
"2) Work on her mannersims to eliminate non-verbal clues to her Geonee origin.
    (In mechanics terms, the Passing Appearance Perk would allow the Disadvantage Social Stigma -Minority Group to be bought off at usual cost).>
    In narrative terms may inclune body-scupting.
    Going to assume that this is progressive, so will buy it off in 5 stages: 1CP, +2CP, +3CP+, +4CP & +5CP; total 15.)

So I'm thinking like, IDK, Madonna, folks can change how they look.**
If you recall, this was step #2 of an 11 step programme and was devised very shortly after character introduction (as a PC).

======
 **OK, so almost all of this is off stage but is captured in CP expenditure. I've phased it to be in 5 awards of CP before this comes home, i.e. reflects time invested, and it's fundamental to Bonny's pysche. If you disallow it, then it's fine. (Actually means the player gains 1CP to spend (from the perk) but this was all deep-background RP driving the mechanics. It's how I do this on characters I'm  really invested in. i.e. put the stats together and then use those to inform the motives and use that to drive the RP and that to tune the mechanics. I'm not imaginative enough to do it the other way round. It why I've come to love GURPS - you can do that level of ultrafine tuning. I've reached that level of investment (aka connection) with Hannatti and Roahfustion, getting there with Kenyan, but still quite a way off with Brutus.)

Sorry for the lengthiness; I hope I haven't been a bore

In reply to Bonny Taching (msg # 64):

Happy with the staged progression, yes we did discuss it at char gen. Sometimes it takes me time to dig it out/recall, so thanks for the reminder.

In reply to Fate (msg # 63):

I was offering suggestions, not more. Hopefully it helped. I do think Nel needs a boost in her Sex Appeal, given her shopping and girl talk ;-)

In reply to Sdian McGuire (msg # 66):

Lol, taken as such. Nel boosting Sex Appeal... possibly when the kids get a bit older!

In reply to Fate (msg # 67):

Well how will she have any more then? She now has all these young twerps involved. ;-)

In reply to Sdian McGuire (msg # 68):

Well, usually with three, there is not much time to work on the appeal side...

But she has so much help...

In reply to Fate (msg # 65):

All good.
Also, TY for the storm rifle details

In reply to Sdian McGuire (msg # 70):

At Bonny: you are welcome.

At Sdian: Ah, true. But still no time for foreplay!

Poo... I don't believe that!

In reply to Sdian McGuire (msg # 73):

Brutus gets 6 CP, Gloria 3 for the events on Hela.

TY!
The following sound ok?
1) Acrobatics +1CP
2) Beam weapon +1CP
3) Gunner (Beam weapons) +2CP
4) Sex Appeal +1CP (with Gloria in mind)
5) Buy off Perk "Does not drink" which also clears the way for later to buy down a disadvantage to perk level.

Was going to put 1CP into Leadersi but just spotted it's listed twice so I'm going to combine them.

In reply to Brutus Cartwright (msg # 75):

That all sounds fine.

Proposed point use:
Cryptography/TL10   2
Fast Talk                     1
Stealth                        1
Strategy (Space)     4

which leaves 0 points unspent

In reply to Gloria Flake (msg # 77):

That is 8 by my count. You have 5 unused?

TY

In reply to Fate (msg # 78):

I did indeed.

In reply to Gloria Flake (msg # 80):

Gloria, they are not on your character sheet. You are welcome to pick three from that list, but can you point me to where the unused 5 are before adding them?

The top line:  Captain Gloria Flake 226/226 total  (Includes 5 more to rank and 10 wealth from GM)   8 CP unused

In reply to Gloria Flake (msg # 82):

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone.

For presents, for each character you play (ie not Ally!) roll on a D6

1: +10 CP
2: +5 cp
3: An alien artifact will be found soon! You get to have some say in what it will do.
4: You get to choose a type of Ally to be added soon. No more than 8 cp worth, but you can choose the FOA and strength, as well as type. I will then mix them into the storyline! They don't have to be human, or even sentient, but must exist somewhere in this universe (ie no Robots, but pets are fine!)
5: Remove/reduce one disadvantage worth up to 5 cp. This may take a side quest...
6: News from Home! A Terra intelligence officer will give you a piece of information you would have no way of knowing. It can be about the war, family members, lost lovers, etc.

Ho, Ho, Ho!

Gloria Rolled a 5

I guess she ditches the Chummy disAd... the only 5 and she hasn't played it much either.

Sdian rolled  a 2

I think we should add Area Knowledge for Girii, Shulishishi , Apshlun and Arkhaaru, since he has been bouncing around in those.
Put the Last point into Current Affairs/TL10 (Geo-Politics)

In reply to Sdian McGuire (msg # 85):

Re: Gloria, you can. You can also increase the self control roll for Lecherousness too. Your call.

Re: Sdian, that sounds reasonable.

Boring rolls! 50-50 chance of something unusual, and you just get CP!
