Re: 000 readying the Maize Star
I don't think I posted what Wen or Andy are training in so...
Wen trains in Auto Pistol 0 -> 1
Andy trains in Shotgun 1 -> 2
reserve one slot for each for later.

Re: 000 readying the Maize Star
Ana looks at Wen and grins, “I wasn’t planning on setting up a bakery for the benefit of our passengers, I mean I could but my mother was a baker and I have little to no desire to spend all day slaving over a brick oven.”
“Have you ever had eloy root and roasted potato chowder in a freshly baked bead bowl, oh my gosh so good skipper. I’ll have to make it one day.” She smiles and takes another sip of her coffee, “I’ll check in and on our passengers before we hit jump, see how they’re settling in.”
Ooc - Do we have a medic?
If not Ana will work on some medical texts.

Re: 000 readying the Maize Star
OOC: I'll think on it. How about getting some training from Ana in hand to hand (Brawling)? Exercise/Training while in jump space would be a good thing. I would say SMG or other weapons, but probably not something you could do in a small spacecraft.
Sara stretches and smiles. "God! So good to be out of that silly gravity well. Out on my own I'd sometimes turn the grav plates off for days, and only turn them back on when I wanted coffee that would stay in the cup." She winks at Ana.
The plates are set a little heavy for what she prefers, but that's probably for passenger comfort. Clearly they aren't hab kids. Groundhogs. Honestly, half a gee is more than enough for anyone with sense.

Re: 000 readying the Maize Star
Ana shakes her head, “Ugh, Zero-G makes me nauseous. The matrons would have doubtlessly imparted some divine lesson about the All Mother not wanting us to float about like fish, assuming could wrap their tiny little heads around the subject. No thanks, my coffee stays in my cup just fine.”lenusmars wrote:Sara stretches and smiles. "God! So good to be out of that silly gravity well.

Re: 000 readying the Maize Star
"Aw. You just have to get used to it. Better than being six times your proper weight. Honestly I don't know how full gee folks breathe sometimes." Sara's eyes skate over the muscles of Ana's arms again. "Not that there aren't some advantages, I guess. But you don't have to go Zero. There are so many cool things to do in lower grav. I stopped off at this colony once where they were using their main air-cycling cavern to fly! Like birds! Turns out .1 gee and enough surface area and you're golden. I was so excited I spent a month's pay on a beautiful set of wings. It was the most fun I've had with my clothes on."
Re: 000 readying the Maize Star
Ana smirks, “On Edo the surface gravity is one point three and the sky is the personal domain of birds and gods,” she gets up and heads to the coffee pot, “and fleet of Troka Lines bulk cargo ships exporting grains, root vegetables and fruits to any number of lifeless rocks across the sector. We Edo do not fly, bad enough being cooped up in a starship.”
Ana winks at Sara as she starts pouring another cup of coffee, “Grav tanks and gun sleds are a completely story, those are fun as hell. Lets go makes sure our cargo is settled in before we jump out of here.”

Re: 000 readying the Maize Star
You can practice with any small arms. Also, since the self improvement is a four year program, the specifics of what is done with relatively small units of time aren't that important. Shipboard time might just be practicing field stripping your weapon.lenusmars wrote:OOC: I'll think on it. How about getting some training from Ana in hand to hand (Brawling)?

I'm happy to retro people's decisions on self improvement to a point. Of course in the short term it's not that important so if you want to wait and see which skills seem to be more important to you, that will work just fine. Likely by the time a couple in game months have passed, you will have decided...
With that, I'm going to start a new thread for Fogbound.
