2 Questions...

[Shadow Chipmunk]

Hi guys, this is my first post here, and I have 2 questions while I write my character.

(I apologize if these have been asked beforehand, but I looked through several pages of this forum and I didn't see them.)

1. Can only Nekovalkyjra pilot Power Armor, or can Yamatians as well?

2. What branch of the SAoY takes Fighter Pilots? Is it Infantry or Starship Ops?

Thanks in Advance,

SC.

1. Both can, however Neko can use it more effectively. (Namely respond quicker and such.)

2. I am pretty damn such its Starship OPs but I can't give you a definite.

 

[Shadow Chipmunk]

Thanks for the quick response! That makes it easier for me.

If I could get a definite on the Starship Ops question from anyone that would be great.

Thanks,
SC

Actually, either should be fine.

 

[Shadow Chipmunk]

Thanks!

Incidentally can one transfer from Infantry to Starship Ops if you have Officer Aspirations, or should you begin in Starship Ops?

there is always room for advancement. Actually, Yaichiro of the 5XF started as a red shirt and now he's one of top ranking officers of the 5XF. =)

Thanks a bunch everyone, this really helped.

My character is a Starship Ops Fighter Pilot. Expect the bio in the next few days.

Thanks ,

Just remember that the above scenario is highly unlikely when you first start out. Yaichiro's player, Toshiro, is also a top GM for the 5th XF, and his character's promotions are linked to that.

 

[Shadow Chipmunk]

I'll keep that in mind, but the fact that there is room for Advancement, even modestly, is important.

Thanks,
SC

No problem. We're always glad to have new players aboard!

Since everyone is on the same subject is it possible that if your a neko power armor infantry does that stop you from also being a neko fighter pilot? Is it possible to be both? Do they have similar skill requirements since they both require SPINE? I've been wanting to try this out for my PC.

When we do use fighters they use the same type of controls (for nekos) as the power armors so if properly trained- a power armor pilot should very well be able to pilot a fighter.

Training would probably be a mix of VR simulations and actual piloting.
