If you could have a job on a FS ship...
what would it be? (captin, gunner, janitor ,chef, pilot)


I would man a "terran turret" on a Deimos. One of the ones on the side. Left side.

Either that or man the turret on an Ursa or Medusa.

Either that or the helm.

Pilot of the afromentioned escape pod, unless I don't leave, nobody leaves.....
 :lol:

On the other hand, captaining the ship like Hecate has that something, knowing that your ship (unless Alpha 1 is not there) can very well decide the outcome of the battle.

And for the extra bonus:
"All batteries, fire at will" is the command that everybody wants to give...

Re: If you could have a job on a FS ship...
I can tell you some places I would not want to be:

1. Alpha 2, 3, or 4.

2. On any ship in a convoy thats only designated by a greek letter and not a name.

3. On any ship that would be used to scout a new nebula, blockade a new jump node, or investigate strange disappearances in a sector without the resot of the battle group.

4. On an indestructable prototype.

5. On a transport or freighter that may be ordered to dock with something shivan.

I would be a chef, so I could throw tomatoes at any passing Vasudans who think I'm cooking headz for them.

Seriously though, I would probably fit in well as that scientist in the shield lab movie. 3, 2, 1, mark.

Never be the captain.  Be the 2nd-in-command; the captain has to go down with the ship, you can pull rank and jump to the front of the queue at the escape pods.

Oooops, forgot that golden rule "You command it, you blow to smithereens with it"
Yeah, I guess you're right, being the captain has some bad qualities  :lol:
I think, just about anybody who makes it to the escape pods will do....

Speaking of queue to the escape pods, "Spaceballs" was pretty hilarious....poor Dark Helmet & Co.

Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.

Gunner, or perseus pilot.  Or maybe the head over the department that deals with subspace travel.
