Plasma Rangers and Veteran Pilots

Veteran Pilots

Veteran Pilots are a playable "class" or "role" who specialize in, well, flying spaceships. Yeah, that was pretty obvious. They have the unique "Pilot" skill which allows them to operate space ships as well as jets and other modes of air transport planetside. Having a Pilot in the party allows the party to travel freely within each sector of known space, no longer confined to trade or travel routes. Personal spaceships also allow the party to engage in space combat missions.

While the overall setting of the game is sandbox, there are specific encounters that advance the overall narrative, and bring the game closer to its conclusion. That is to say that the game can be won (or lost).

Plasma Rangers

The Plasma Rangers dispense justice throughout known space in the great tradition of frontier peacekeepers. Established in the wake of the Great War, the rangers have helped to provide stability and return order to the discord sewn by the invading Glaax.

Skirmisher Class Star fighters for, your dungeon?

Early "statting" ideas for the Skirmisher Class ships

Here are some of the "star fighter" type ship ideas I have come up with, specific to species. They are small and feel more like flying coffins to me, but will be considerably more maneuverable and able to target larger ships easily. The player "class" Veteran Pilot starts with a ship as an extra, but they are much larger and more versatile. these Skrms might not come into play that much from a player perspective as they are pretty dangerous to fly in, and I probably should have spent my time fleshing out the enemy ships first, but I couldn't resist starting with the "good guys". And I wanted to get them done for playtesting. And I want one.

I had originally created a partially functional drop ship in the lowest level of the Cult of the Fallen Star dungeon, but am likely going to replace it with one of these (a ship captured by the Ta'ak).
