Cool, I'll figure out what Shishi wants to make then provide a list and all the dice rolls.

Hit me! I had a location in mind to start with (Gerrenthumm to be specific) but as with everything else, I'm open to suggestions.

Regarding the ship thing, however, I'm thinking it's a bit specialized, especially given the varied nature of the group that's shaping up. It's easy to explain why someone has a beat-up old junker of a freighter, it's a bit harder to explain why they have a much rarer, specialized ship.

The outer rim should be enough for the idea to work. I don't have a specific location in mind, so whatever everyone else agrees with is fine by me.

I like both ships. The wayfarer has a ton of potential and the YV-560 is pretty good from the get go. The only thing I'd worry about with the YV is that it's so specialized that it'll draw attention anytime we're in more civilized area... including dropping off our cargo.

I should mention, the potential of hiring more crew and having a smuggler fleet all giving you a cut isn't out of the question. (and obviously, there's no blanket rarity restrictions once the game starts). It might make a good dream ship for your character, Imperial.

Hey @Benjan Meruna one of my rolls was this:

Crafting roll for Light Armour: 3eA+1eP+2eD 2 failures, 6 advantage

can I use 4 of the Advantage to permanently reduce the difficulty of this template with an armour schematic?

I want in. Don't have a sheet yet, i'll PM you one soon.

Also, when I get to rolling the computers checks for the Droids failure only means you wasted time. If I fail any am I able to roll again until success? Taking the first success as well as whatever comes with it?

More would you prefer 1 roll per droid, any failure indicates a completed chassis waiting for Shishi to program?

I'm thinking of doing a Human/Duros Colonist, Probably scholar, who is a biologist from the core worlds. Would be the kind of guy to take notes on a Krayt Dragon's Anatomy rather than run from it.

Then you're #2 on the waiting list! I'll edit the OP.

Absolutely! How many credits did you use up in the attempt?

Yes, just ignore the previous rolls and use the results from the first successful result you get, in that case.

It's a cool ship, but I'd prefer to stick to ships that have stats/are in OggDude's character generator.

250cr wasted ? Oh well.

Not wasted! It will come in handy down the line, having the difficulty reduced. Also, isn't that a 3 advantage trait? Don't you have 1 more advantage to spend on something?

Edit: Actually...I'll extend the same thing with the droids for your other crafting checks, you can either accept the results of the fail and use the long-term advantages, or toss it and do rolls until you get successes (which may come with Threat!)

@Benjan Meruna How much would ammo cost for the SH-9 slug thrower pistol? Forged in Battle doesn't have an ammo cost.

1 credit each. More than that is way too much, less than that is a pita to track.

So there are 2 Threat for you to spend on one of the Droid directives, either a random negative quirk or "poor listening skills" which adds 2 Setback dice to my rolls to direct it to do things.

That one will need reprogramming soon!

I like that one.

By the way, I meant 1 credit per reload (aka 5 bullets), not one per bullet. Sorry, was unclear.

By the way, you can all assume you start with a basic datapadd and commlink. Nothing fancy, but enough to get the job done.

I think I'll pay for the full version of the datapad.

Still working on the background, but here's my character so far. http://swsheets.com/c/q6p5uz1vn-kara-farrhect

I'm thinking the helmet that is the farthest to the right and down is the character's scanner goggles, and is used instead on the helmet in the center.

This is everything, I almost screwed up and had to take 5 more Obligation, but ditched a couple of emg repair patches (won't need those!) and I'm sweet. In the next day or so I'll properly write up the Droids, basically they have Ranged Light, Melee, Gunnery and 2 of them have Knowledge Outer Rim as group skills. They each have a pistol, armour and a blunt weapon. They are effectively bodyguards for this helpless Gossam!

I could have gone crazy crafting "tools" to make the checks easier, but I didn't think that was in the spirit of the game. I also made a couple of grenades for Shishi, to go with his armour, pistol, tools and programming gear... I spent the entire 3000cr on crafting materials!!!!

edit: There's some threat there on the slugthrower pistols too.

So here's an idea. If I don't go ewok, I'd go the ex death commando noghri whose starting spec will probably be trailblazer... Maybe the archaeologist found him on a deserted planet while searching for ruins...

How would you as a gm deal with a noghri? I'm assuming most don't know anything about them...

Was also thinking doctor bot, or weather drone Scout

Alright, Character is finished IRL.... But not in Oggdude. He'll be on there tonight. His name is simply Zel, He's a Human, a Colonist Scholar, with 20 Obligation, To take 1,000 extra creds. Has Heavy Clothing, an 8-Gauge Scatter Gun (I know, he's a colonist, but as a human I gave him Ranged (Heavy) and Survival, for Beast Riding.) and some mediocre gear, A Datapad, an Exta Reload, a Tent, 4 Stims, and other stuff.

A question, the 8-Gauge Scatter Gun doesn't have Limited Ammo, but would it take reloads like the Extra Reload? Seems like Slugthrowera would have different ammo rules, but they don't.
