I can also put the deck plans in that (don't want to share them in a generally visible document since they aren't free content).

Hmm, tried to add ramona's e-mail for access and it didn't work... Here is a read-only link to the document (eris should be able to edit) for now:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_81 ... sp=sharing

Please request access and let's see if that works. If it doesn't work out for some of you to edit, I'll keep the "need the link to see it" and one of us who can edit can make updates for you. I may put the deck plans somewhere else in this case so they are not so visible (and PM the link for them).

I don't see a request yet.

Wen has an auto pistol and a blade (blade from mustering out) with ammo for the pistol. He has a vacc suit and jack armor. Wen has a hand computer and a medium range communicator. Wen has a combo mask.

Yea, I see Andy has both weapons. Curious, I didn't think the generator produced multiple gun combat skills (or did you hand roll and just document in the format of the generator?).

Anyway, I would allow a decent amount of ammunition as part of a mustering out benefit, 5-10 clips worth, at least one spare clip (or speed loader for the revolver - clips and speed loaders aren't actually individually priced, but I assume someone purchasing 10 clips worth of ammo isn't actually purchasing 10 clips, rather they are purchasing a box of ammo).

So for ammo, for small arms, none of it costs very much (other than laser recharges, but for ship crew those should be free, consider that the price of a "speed" charge purchased on-world if you ever need it). Here's my thought: purchase an initial ammo load. Unless you actually wind up broke and starving, we'll assume replacements fall into the small change bucket. If your initial budget is small, and you want to upgrade your ammo load, purchase a new set of ammo for the larger load. I.e. if you only could afford 1 or 2 clips after mustering out, and now you've made some money and want to upgrade to 5 or 10 clips, purchase 5 or 10 clips, and now your assumed reload each star port visit (at a world with suffficient TL) will not be tracked.

I hand rolled Andy and put him in the format the program used. I thought that it would be best to have a standard format if we're quickly looking for something on the character sheet.

BTW, speaking of the program, what would you say to me working on a front end for your program? It would just take a form with the various options on it...choose the options, hit submit, it generates the URL needed to implement those options, and calls your program with those options selected. I spent 25 years teaching programming (over the years a variety of Assembly, CoBOL, Pascal, BASIC, Perl, C/C++/C#, Java, JavaScript, PHP, and HTML), but haven't written a line of code since I retired.

Oh that would be cool. I had thought about doing so, but it would take me a few afternoons to suss out how to do it...

Just beware of scope creep

Is my first post ok (in the Kickoff thread) ?
