What tops my wish list for upgrades for Sia atm will be shocking.

[up]Hey if you guys want to go ahead and say the things you'd like to buy in the future, that would be great since I could start trying to figure out prices, NPC vendors, etc.

Also, on the topic of money, I really don't want to micromanage things. I've had games where people wanted me to tell them how much everything cost so I wound up wasting a lot of time on random shit like looking at what Goodwill charges for used dress shoes and finding out what three pancakes with syrup run you at a diner. To that effect I'd like to only have to deal with money when you buy larger items. So instead of dealing with "credits", I will only deal with "credit chits" (or perhaps "chips"?), where each chit represents an unspecified amount of money. You can figure that each chit is maybe like 100 or so, but the exact value is ambiguous. Mainly because stuff has crazy different prices in different sources. Like a generic no-frills slightly-used light blaster pistol costs 100 credits in KOTOR, 25 credits in KOTOR 2, and 500 credits in general on the wikia, so this way I can just say it costs 1 credit chit.

So any small purchases like food, water, drinks at a bar, etc. are ignored and neither of us have to pull out a calculator to figure out the gratuity. If you want to do stuff like buy an entire bar a couple rounds of drinks, buy a expensive suit, or go to an expensive restaurant then in those cases we'll have to actually deduct from your money. But for the most part you can do all of the little things for free. (Well, except for at the very beginning, since you're all brokeevil grin)

I actually have not really thought about what Sia would want in terms of equipment upgrades. I was mainly making a joke about how I want her to get force lightning at some point ;)

Beyond maybe upgrading her shin/armguards to phrik-metal ala Zayne Carrick I'd have to make some deeper contemplation. Maybe a KOTOR-esque stealth belt, but both of those are probably pretty high end toys.

Uziel will want the second-biggest* suit of sealed powered armor he can buy. Then he'll want underlays and overlays to modify it. Finally, he'll need the parts to put together his inconspicuous armor-maintenance droid he had in his other appearances.

*Uziel is a Space Marine, but not quite a Terminator. (Forget the flight capabilities and weapon mounts.)

Better optics for his helmet, a containment upgrade for his armor allowing him to go EVA, parts to make it so his sniper weapon can become a anti-material weapon, one that can also shoot slugs (Aim high Darius aim high), a ship, and a droid assistant.

That is what Darius wants.

What does everyone else want?

Kyla would/will want fancy new lightsaber parts (hers is pretty basic), something like Jal Shey Armour, a state-of-the-art slicer datapad, and... I dunno, a nice condo or something? She's used to living quite modestly, after all.

Also, love. lol

Well, Sia considers armor very limiting, since her fighting style is all precision and speed, so not much potential for upgrades here unless you want to get creative with new stuff.

Updated Kyla's Chain Links to include something with Sia.

As a result of her earlier misfortune, bounty hunters pursued her. Once, while being pursed, she bumped into Sia, who was being pursued by the very same bounty hunters. They very briefly worked together to elude their pursuers, but parted ways shortly after.

Is this okay, 3of4 ?

EDIT: Hey, maybe one of the bounty hunters they were trying to get away from was Rakko and/or Darius?

Well Selth mainly uses the force, so armour isn't really much use. Maybe some lightsaber upgrades, even though he doesn't use it too much

I guess that means the Battleframe will be going into storage, thentongue
allowing him to go EVA
I don't know what that means.

I'm not going to a be a hardass like the games were and go "Oh, you're in armor, you can't use any force powers neener neener neener".[lol] So any of the armors in the game that were lightweight and said they don't interfere with Force powers (Such as the Jal Shey line of armor Blackfire mentioned, as well as Zeison Sha armor), I would figure that they have virtually no noticeable encumbrance beyond what your typical robe has. I mean, they're pricey as all hell, but I think the general triangle for armor is weight, price, and protection - you can only pick two out of those three features. And ignoring the ones that said "This armor does not restrict force powers", there's general light armors like Echani and Fiberweave stuff that was light enough for martial artists to wear.

Eh, maybe I'll have her pick up some light armor parts later on, but I'd rather go off-brand from the Kotor Armors, if thats okay? (keep it more descriptive than stat heavy)

Agreed, armor shouldn't preclude use of the Force; once you're used to wearing it, it wouldn't be distracting. The only reasons not to wear armor are to be nimble and inconspicuous. And hell, even full renaissance plate armor wasn't that cumbersome.

We're already very off-brand[lol] I was using those as examples because I figure they're the ones easiest to find information about.

Well, I can see Sia switching her bustier and tunic/robe for blaster-resistant materials to cut down on vulvnerability from long range snipers and so.

Or alternatively go for stealth materials.

And probably some toys for her utility belt (climbing hook, etc?)

But ultimately, Sia is focusing on upgrading her force powers over equipment, char wise. Though she may be a Holochron Horder :D

Jesus. The Battleframe sounds impressive.

I also just realized thanks to his attitude and his universal driving skill. That Darius is the closest thing to our Griff.

I have a little more work to do today than I was expecting so I won't be able to put up a first post tonight, but that works out well considering the unsolved matters. As it stands right now, I'm tempted to make Rakko the faux-captain in order to have someone who can post frequently. I'm also still at the point where I can change the starting mission, so if anyone has a preference for an urban, suburban, outback, etc. setting for the first planet, do say so.

As a bonus, this gives GIG and Des an extra 20-24 hours to finish their characters. If they aren't done by then, I'll just start the game anyways. If they miss out on the first few days it'll still be an early-enough time for us to just Remember the New Guy? with them. Longer than that, though... and I don't know what to do.

If there's anyone else who hasn't posted a character and would like to, now would be a good time to start posting what you have and working with other people. Sabre and Luthen both mentioned wanting to be droids in the interest check thread, so that might be a pair of HK's added to the crew if they decide to join.

I guess that I'm fine with Rakko being captain but can you throw in a connection with Vania? Like maybe Vania was one of Rakko's only friends, or that she was a former slave too, or that she owed him a favor or something? That might make it more plausible for Rakko to have an authority position on the ship.

I was thinking maybe Rakko could have been pursuing a bounty on Vania and she promised him a favor if he didn't capture her and collect the reward. Her jailbreak was her way of repaying him. Would that work?

@Fantasy Liver: Kyla and Sia met while running from some bounty hunters. Do you want Rakko to have been one of the bounty hunters chasing them?

EDIT: P.S. If this starts on Wednesday, I might not be able to post until Thursday.

That's okay, the thread's probably just going to be characters talking to each other and looking at the ship for the first day or two.

And when I say Wednesday, I mean like "four hours before midnight in the PST timezone" which means that for most of you, it'll basically be Thursday.[lol]

Which means you'll probably be the first one to post, since everyone else will probably be too asleep or tired to post either, and your time zone means you're ahead of everyone [lol]

By the way, do you guys have Skype? I can make an IM room for discussing the game.
