Shishi loves fabricating things, he enjoys the process immensely, but everything should have a purpose. In the case of the Droids they are a test beds for his own ideas on Droid design. He needed some help around the workshop so made these 3, then when things went south again he decided to reprogram them to provide some extra protection. They He made them some simple slug pistols, found a few hefty wrenches, added a couple extra plates to their chassis. They have simple target selection protocols which apply to both pistols and vehicle weapons, but mostly they just get between him and anyone trying to hurt him.

One in particular has taken this protection a little bit too seriously, it regularly ignores Shishi to ensure the Gossam creator is safe, often doing a rather good job even if it gets more injuries along the way.

The kids... That's what Vic's gonna call them. As in... Eh Sheesh... how's the kids?

Uh... how simple? Am I gonna get shot? I'm gonna get shot, aren't I.

It might be fun to start them as Droid 1, Droid 2, and Droid 3 and let them 'earn' names.

I agree!

Simple targeting as in the roll AP when they shoot as a group. When Shishi gets more time he will make a few more for the ship itself, gradually upgrading and improving them on his quest to develop a proper Droid. Ultimately a cyber enhanced "specialist" chassis with elimination directives and additional ranks in Medicine & knowledge Warfare are his goal. It's a long road but that's his plan.

This big fragging brain's gonna put its outta a job some day. Vic would say. Lucky for us he's too kriffing down and out to do shizz, ain't that right little buddy?! That's when he'd put shishi in a headlock and give him a noogie.

"Hey Fuzzy, don't complain when my Droids take a hit for you, or patch you up when you're dying, or warn you of a weakness in your tactical planing, or take the night shift just because you need your beauty sleep! Haha"

Could hold both with room to spare

Focus! I need a ship name, people!

I'm gonna name it the "Oops I'll Stop" by default if we don't have another named picked by the end of day today.

If I had to choose one I like then "The Restless Wanderer" is my sensible option. "The Dusty Wanderer" my second that could get the nickname "Dusty"

"What's your ship name?"

"It's the, Oops I'll Stop."

"You can tell me what it is."

"Oops I'll Stop."

"..."

I like both of those, as well as my own, "Nomad".

The Dusty Nomad? nickname Dusty?

"Attention, Oops I'll Stop! This is the authorities!"

"No no, you're the authorities, but the mixup is flattering, really."

"Oops I'll Stop, stop immediately!"

"Hey, you do you. If you gotta stop, stop. Don't let us stop you, let you stop you."

Im fine with whatever, but if it's the Dusty Nomad then Melonie is gonna moan about how her beloved ship isn't dusty it's just... freckled. They're beauty marks, signs of individuality, thats all.

The Restless Nomad then, nickname Nomad?

i like both, I'll probably use one on a wayfarer I'm about to introduce in my RL game

I think the moaning is a feature.

(That's what he said.)

I liked trophy wife

If we are doing nomad... Maybe have the thing be dusty red and call it the The BurgundyTraveler

My vote goes to The Trophy Wife or The Dusty Nomad.

I think thats 3 who like The Trophy Wife

I think everyone has voiced their opinion. So does @Benjan Meruna want to count up the votes?

Trophy Wife only had 2 votes that I saw, Dunefarble and Shard.

It looks like Dusty Nomad took it, with Richard, Dunefarble, and Imperial all liking it. I can't think of another name that got that much backing, so I'm calling it for Dusty Nomad. I'll try to get the IC thread up early tomorrow for y'all, but as a head's up you'll be starting in orbit with precious little besides your possessions, your ship, a possible whiff of adventure and skulduggery, and a hell of a lot of poodoo between you and your next payday. So, start thinking on how you're gonna go about getting some income/exploring new/worlds/whatever dusts your nomad, because we're about to launch this puppy!

Shishi is likely to look for people with broken equipment and money to burn on fixing it! But he is equipped to deal with most tricky situations, any credits to buy materials are still credits.

I think what Kara wants to do might depend on what those whiffs are. Otherwise she would want to either get some credits then exploration, or try to find some new planets right away and find something valuable on that planet, since the group seems a bit strapped for credits.

Maybe Shishi or Vic has a contact with their former hauler company that's still friendly. A small fry contract, without a mention of Vic's name on it.

P.S. So here is a quick sketch up of an idea for Vic.
