Federation Commander

Sadly, our group is on hold; however, I will continue to be open to reading material and offering comments, creating characters, etc.

So, I started work on rolling up the traditional way for Traveller character creation. I will say the Trav character gen system is the most difficult I've done..but that mostly comes from the fact you are rolling up the "pre-history" before the campaign even begins.

The character, Mark T. KaSteel ...

Just a quick note;
Chapter 2, page 6. Pre-Career Education
"A character can that has selected...."

wording is missing or needs removed.

Page 9, under Careers in the federation, 3rd line
"currently not know" should be "currently not known"

A great product geared towards teaching the game to new players to the TRAV system.

There is also a DriveThru option as well.

I have found it a wonderful tool.

Thanks for your efforts. Every little bit helps!!!

I like that description

Kind of reminds me of the TNG episode that "The Traveller" traded his skill set for helping fine tune starship warp drives for "safe passage" through the cosmos in the time period he found himself to meet interesting people.

Hello everyone. I too can throw out that my "day job" has totally soaked up much of my time. I am looking forward to some Holiday time off so I can get back to diving in to this. Al, thank you for continuing to push this forward.

I'll be using the point system to create some characters. Will post here when done

One additional thought that might be nice. In the Trav 2022 core update book (and it's also in the previous book) there is an updated visual to the path of character creation. It would be nice to create the PD version of this for our book.

See this link and scroll to the last page (keep in mind the ...

Here is a nice video review

First step on looking at the character point buy system was to read through and mark things that didn't make sense or could possibly be explained better..

Side Note:
Formatting, I'm wondering if we switch to more bullet points instead of everything together under each step (just for the visual ...

In reading thru the skills, we should potentially callout types of vehicles used in the SFU: Shuttlecraft (what skills could we list this under?) Engineer? Pilot?

Astrogation:
Maybe update this from "jumps" to SFU tech references.

Spaceship Ops still lists "Jump Drive"
Should we call out Impulse ...

Events During Pre-Career Education
*In regards to PSI, I'm wondering how wide spread this would be. Maybe if Vulan or 1/2 Vulan Heritage.

Events during Academy
*How about something caught cheating

This last post was my only additional feedback for Chapter One. But, I was just thinking about the episode The Cage, or rather, The MeNAGERIE. Where Captain Pike is thinking about resigning his commission. He says something to the effect that Star Fleet isn't the only choice out there. This really ...
