Also, here's a GP sheet I've been working on. It's pretty basic, but should work for the most part. All need otherwise is a spot for your backstory on it. :)

Yeah, that's a hell of a character sheet. Definitely borrowing that template for my sheet.

Whoever is interested, please go ahead and post a sheet/concept, so I can figure out invitations, etc. :)

So far, I've got interest and sheets from:
Seck - Lt. J.G. Korias Nevark, Betazoid Science Officer played by Jude Law
Alordis - Lt. J.G. Dak Khiatt, Bajoran/Cardassian Helm/Intel Officer played by Aldis Hodge

And general interest so far from:
@Qralloq, @Jesus.Chrysler.Supercar, @LightOfMidnight, @Yunera, @Stefron, @dbcowboy, and @Emberskyes

The Captain will be an NPC starting, but First Officer/XO (your preference for terminology. :) ) and many other positions would be open. :)

The initial couple of missions are set up as learning missions, so I'll be adding more descriptions, etc. of rules and more to help folks get comfortable with the system...

I'm still interested. I don't have a full chatacter sheet yet but going for a young aspiring Human officer on the career path to get his own command, (too) eager to show his worth at every opportunity.
In the movie he'll be played by a young Henry Cavill (superman, not the Witcher)

BTW, I added the up to date GP Sheet to the Character Sheets thread in the Guides forum: STA Character Sheet (2d20)

Most recently added the Game Mechanics portion of the sheet at the bottom. Right now, I has details on using Momentum. Does anyone have any suggestions for what would be useful to see on the sheet itself?

Definitely interested. Still trying to nail down a character concept. I used to play DS9 from Last Unicorn Games, so I used to make lots of non-Federation roguish characters. Shifting gears to play a Starfleet officer.

Knighthawke, I entered Lt. J.G. Korias Nevark into the character sheet you created on GP. All ready to submit to the application for the game whenever it opens. Thanks.

I wish to bonk my head repeatedly on my desk. I was almost done and then my computer ate the character sheet.

been there, done that soooooooooo many times…. LoL

Also, a question for everyone, and this is a moment for shapin the game. :)

In my initial concept, the Phobos is a refit/upgraded Loknar-class frigate. This was due to the small crew of the ship and the overall look. I think it looks darn good. :)

My question to you all - Is this ok, or would there be another ship type you’d like to use?

I like the idea of a small ship. I'd rather no one has to worry about the lives of 500 crew members.

There's the Oreneta Class, I was looking at this for my own game which I kept putting off. Crew is 18 looks kind of like a small Voyager. Some guy cooked it up for his own game.

The idea of a small ship is appealing.

It could even work with Korias' backstory, since the last ship--perhaps it was a large one?--that he was assigned to was destroyed and he was forced to take the command over the small group of survivors and had to lead them to a planet until they were rescued eventually by Starfleet.

The traumatic experience was no small thing for him, since he is constantly trying to keep his innate empathic abilities in check and let reason guide his actions. This was particularly challenging when fear and panic set into the crew that he was responsible for. Starfleet commended him for his service during the catastrophe but decided, by recommendation of Starfleet Psychological Division, to assign him to a smaller ship to avoid PTSD. Korias stubbornly doesn't believe that he has to worry about PTSD but accepted his assignment like a good Starfleet officer.

A crew of 500 split along 4 shifts is around 125 crew on duty at any one time (alert conditions notwithstanding) so it really isn't that many to contend with. Shifts are something that seldom gets mentioned in Trek and even then only in passing...
A ship with 18 crew would only have 4-5 crew on shift unless they had 12 hour duty shifts.

Except that a ship with a crew of 500 wouldn't likely have evenly split shifts.

It would be heavily skewed towards a first shift where all the researchers work and then off shifts where only minimal staffing in medical, engineering, and bridge ops are on duty.
We see this throughout TN where it's one or two people in the bridge "at night" and all the people like biologists, geologists, etc would be stacked on one shift - no need for 24 hour ops on research positions.

I was thinking more for the GM not having to come up with random names every couple of posts for some dude who works down in the gunk works of engineering
