"Know how to pilot the main ship" Is what I meant.
I wasn't saying my character would rent the ship itself. But as with Inara in Firefly, she'd rent a shuttle to live in and use when she received offers or needed to go down to a planet to advertize her service. It'd be a deal with the captain, and if it's denied, I'll work something else.
As for the anthros. we're talking about a time of piracy and cutthroat in space, where most planets of the solar system are explored by man (and not just unmanned missions), and quite a few colonized. Right now we are already fiddling with genetic sequencing in plants, and it's gene control that created so many types of dog. Would it be out of the question to have some scientists offer to pay people to be test subjects in gene therapy in such a hard time?
But I agree. It is a luxury that I don't need. I just thought it'd be interesting to see people's reactions when they set down on Ganymede, and be approached by some...thing, wanting to pay rent to embark on their ship. It'd be a nice injection of money regularly, and I doubt the men would mind another woman on board. =3

It's sad the GM's not been active for a week. Think it's possible to go off on a tangent somewhere else in LA while you wait? I've been thinking about joining all night.
The woman raised an eyebrow, and...did her ears just twitch? No, just a trick of the light. "Rookies with possibility of runners? Well that should be interesting at least." Kat slides into a chair beside the commander. As she sat, she opened her cloak, revealing a combat uniform, camoed with urban colors. There were various pouches and pockets on the uniform, but the obvious thing was what appeared to be a long,slim machete in a sheathe attached to her thigh. She also carried a handgun on her right hip and a combat knife on her left hip.
Kat glanced around the table a moment before lifting a hand to a waitress to order a rather amusing drink choic...soy milk and a shot of tequila. She nodded to the waitress as she brought the drinks over, her ears seemingly twitching again. This time it was not the light. Those things most certainly moved on their own. Were they some sort of mechanical headset? They looked similar to the cosplay pieces from years past, but more pricey. The fur on them looked almost real...

I've been a squad leader of a NPC squad in RPs before, and it does help VERY much for my post sizes. I'm not the best RPer out there, and I find msyelf without a paragraph in my posts without bad filler content. But with two+ characters to play with, I'd be a happy camper playing 'second fiddle' to the mechs in a platoon. I also have ideas sprouting in my head as to different load-outs and different vehicles the small squad would use already.
I also imagine the mechs to be less of an 'average' thing on the battlefield. Sure there are plenty, but I imagine they are a larger expense than normal grunts. I could RP the perspective of those without mechs.

So I saw your RP, and had a nerdgasm. My first thought was "This is how Firefly started out!" And ran around my living for a good ten minutes thinking up a character. My favorite character in Firefly was Inara Serra, the Companion. She had an air about her that made people think twice or look over her. It's how I feel in everyday life. But while thinking of a background for my character, I thought "I'm going to have an issue if I can't get from the main ship to planetside on my own."
But after a fruitless search for a ship of my own on google images, I wanted to ask about a shuttle I could rent on the main ship? It could be viable that the hatches on either side of what I assume is the bridge could hold shuttles that came with the ship.
That aside, the summary of my character would be similar to Inara. A companion that rents out a shuttle to help pay for necessities and such for the ship. She could also know electronics and pilot the main ship. I'm diverging from Inara in the aspect that my character wouldn't JUST be a companion.
And another tangent....what about anthromorphs. If we've colonized the solar system, would it be a stretch to think that we'd mess with genetics and have the ability to gain animal traits?
Your thoughts?

*Eyes pop out of sockets* Good lord that's alot to read. I was excited when I saw the name because there very, VERY, few honest anthromorph RPs out there that take themselves seriously. the Mech side I wasn't intimidated by....at first. But when I saw the unofficial wiki pages on this RP that are mandatory reads, I was blown away. I'm still excited about this RP. I have a question as to how open the different types of characters are.
I apologize in advance for not reading the lore pages, I was just curious if it's possible...NOT to have a mech? Maybe just be a specialized ground soldier or an engineer? I have a few ideas why there would be special foot soldiers, and the engineer/mechanic idea is sort of a given with giant machines running around. I personally don't want to be RPing being in a mech at all. It's not my cup of tea. But the overall idea sounds awesome.
In more detail for the foot soldier. each side could produce soldiers whose sole purpose is to 'assassinate' mech pilots on the field. They'd be expert climbers, know the weaknesses of most mech designs, and would have to go through rigorous training. They would usually work in two person teams, so if one fails, another has the chance to carry the mission out. Then there are the solo soldiers who have been specifically picked out of the pool of soldiers to take mechs down on their own. Their goal wouldn't be to just kill the pilot, but to take the mech out of commission as well.
Again, just an idea. If it's not possible to not have a mech, I wish you all a good time. I'll still be reading the RP,nonetheless.

Derping. I found a page that explained what they are.
Ohai Hallowed!

• Gear & Possessions: A pair of hunting knives, what would be considered a shortbow to humans, and a traveling pack.
• Skills & Abilities: Can shoot an arrow pretty accurately, good at hand-to-hand combat, and wields a silver tongue when her blades fail. She has the attributes of a cat; flexibility, vision, and balance. The off put of this is that she isn't that strong. She travels light because she has to.
• Personality: Serious and withdrawn when she's confronted, but if she gets the chance, she will cause mischief and have a good giggle at it. Once you have her as a friend, however, she's your friend for life unless you betray her trust.
