What they are saying is attempt promotion. When you start in a service, you are unranked (Rank 0). Once you have successfully achieved a commission, you gain Rank 1. Now you are eligible to attempt rank advancement, i.e. promotion Let's say you join the Navy. You are Rank 0, and will remain Rank 0 until you successfully earn a Commission. At that point you achieve Rank 1 Ensign, and are now eligible for promotions each term |

OK, I am going to post what I have so far on the first surviving character. The first eight characters that I rolled up died during Chargen and one was a really good one with 4 high numbers and two - 2's which would really have been fun. Here is the first one that survived to retirement and I just made several of the survival rolls by an eyelash.
I am posting this for review to make sure I covered things correctly. I put it in a table to be easy to look at. Once you let me know that I didn't miss anything important, I will post it in the completed character thread in the proper format and work on finishing up a second one.

Impressive. Did you do all your aging rolls?
There's our scout ship for a scout campaign...

JMiskimen designed Altair and I do not entirely understand it. I know there is more there than I grasped, so I just put "custom" as a shirt form for "ask Jmiskimen" I would just ignore it

As ffilz said, there would be 5 aging rolls needed for each of the first three stats. DId you get lucky, or do some rolls on the Personal Development table? |

As a TL-17 (H) world, it's beyond the technology in Books 1-3, but it's your game... |

Darci, Frank makes a good point. Could you see your way for having a different home planet? I think reserving the Altair group for future adventure would be a good idea

I misunderstood that part of the table and I made the additional aging rolls and saving throws and added another adjustment line and then the new total remaining for those stats. I did roll well and I did have some rolls on the Personal Development table. Of the four additional aging rolls for each of the three stats (12) I made saving throws for 7 and missed on 5. That is now reflected in the table. |

It is all good. Here it is in compact form. I want to point out the following: You have skills in Carbine, Rifle and Shotgun, but took an SMG and Laser Rifle as material possessions, both of which you have no skill at. Do you want to change those two weapons to two weapons that you are actually trained in? Or do you want to change two of your weapons skills to Laser Rifle and SMG?
