Would they know the location that the boarding ship will hit?

Shieeet. Working on the character is taking a longass time. Still don't have an ETA on him, might be tonight, might be tomorrow, might be a fucking week from now.

@Simple Unicyclemy second one is taking forever too. When I'm home I'm eeking out an hour to work on it! I don't think there's any big deal!

I also don't think I can quite post yet

It's not a big deal.

They will have to guess based on trajectory. It will be relatively easy to guess which side of the ship it will go to, at least. Guessing the exact point will be dubious until they are practically ready to board.

I finally came up with a standard UNT fighter that can travel in space or atmosphere, being the best cheap all-rounder fighter they have. Will post it to the wiki once I get off work.

It's done. The D series of the dager will likely be the best series but not the most common, more like for the squad leaders. I'm figuring more about the naming scheme of earth vehicles so it's helping me out a bit here. Of course I'm still just making numbers up but the letters will mean something once I get a list going.

I finally got my character done, and he isn't even that good. All that time it took was definitely just me slacking off and thinking about what I should do with his backstory.

Being probably the greatest pilot in the galaxy is asking too much, unless your "probably" leaves a lot of room for error. XD

Yeah, I put the 'probably' there because starting off as the greatest pilot in the galaxy is way too much (which is why I added the weakness). If you want, I can just change it so that he's just really good but nowhere near the greatest.

@Simple Unicycle

Hey, saw your character, just wanted to point out a few things I saw. As always no offense meant (I know the character I created was hardly great), but critic and ideas do make us better and stuff :D Again don't need to make any changes if you don't want, just a few thoughts.

Ace was designed to be cocky and sarcastic, with a tad bit of smartassness and a rather arrogant additude.


Why would someone design an android to be like this? Surely for a "perfect pilot" you'd want someone level headed, rather than someone based off my own cuntyness :D Having said that, you made a personality chip, which is a perfect explanation for such things. Perhaps the random mutations that create a personality were what caused the project to be a failure. Heck, the ones who were (Attempted to be?) destroyed could be the ones that developed more dangerous and psychopathic traits.

he didn't come with any extremities (something he loathes)


Actually quoting this because this little bit peaks my interest, and wanna see more. Is this someone who wants to be human (Wants to be a real boy?) or even believes he's human and hates everything about himself that defies that?

the crew of the Exeralune took him with them to replace their First Helmsman, who had recently died in a battle.


Unless I'm wrong, I think this is the first official voyage of the Exeralune, before they go off on adventures, meaning nobody could have died yet. Having said that, ragged bunch of misfits with exceptional abilities kinda explains why your character would have been picked :D

Thanks for the feedback, this really helps. As for the errors you pointed out:
I'll most likely edit into his personality that the chip ALSO malfunctioned and gave him the arrogancy, cockyness, etc.. As you said, the perfect pilot needs to be level-headed rather than just a douche who knows how to fly.
Obviously, for the part about him not coming with extremities, I do want a character who's sort of like a sci-fi Pinocchio and wants to be a human rather than an android. He won't hate all the things that don't make him human, but he'll hate most of them.
Well then, I guess I'll have to edit out the part about him replacing their First Helmsman. I guess I could just say that the UNT picked him up and assigned him to the Exeralune.

Unless they died in a routine landing on Scree's planet or had a random heart attack from eating sweats, but that would just be crazy. XD

Indeed, most of the characters are from places the UNT isn't entirely fond of such as the GAN empire, the evil clone race thingies, etc. The Nimin is one of the few characters that people would find normal. Androids and cyborgs especially are not always trusted. The Madronean would be normal enough, as they are on neutral terms with each other and they look like normal humans found in the UNT anyways.

Speaking of Madronean, the business why they are all female amazons may have to be changed by something someone mentioned where if it's the y chromosome's fault, it would have been bred out because there are plenty of human males from other races without a problem in the y chromosome. It would have to be cultural why they don't take advantage of this or why it's all female in the first place, or a different genetic quirk.

I accept the character (assuming the edits are made).

An enemy ship intercepted our flight path and sent four fighters with a boarding ship to take us on. We are preparing for their advance.

I feel like creating a board game playable online where you draw cards for different units such as "Nimin Sniper Patrol" and place them on the board. Maybe somewhat of a risk ripoff with more variety on units rater than in risk where you just throw a mound of generic soldiers at each other.

Just thought of a good character for my jack-of-all trades bounty hunter girl who can help out pilots out. Her name is Me, so I thought up some funny scenes involving that. Might do a book on my own with her as the main character.
