It looks like we are going to have 8 players, so I am leaning towards two groups. 8 players in one group is barely workable face-to-face, online it gets worse.
Please post here what you would like to do most, and we'll group you into 2 groups of 4 that have compatible goals

I will play on either team that needs a player to round out the team. I am up for explorer, freelance scout, bounty hunter, free trader, space miner, mercenary, pirate, smuggler, or a combination of several at the same time, or whatever else people want to play. I can go with whatever the preference is. If everyone is so flexible that no consensus emerges, we can always list our top three in order and go from there.
My top three would be:
Free Trader/Smuggler/Pirate (the combination)
Bounty Hunter/Mercenary (the combination)
Mercenary/Freelance Scout/Explorer (the combination)
I am open to anything. so place me wherever it benefits the party the most.

Makofan, could you put a quick summary of the characters rolled up so far here?
Depending on each campaign, there might be some value to players having 2 PCs in the group (with as many players as we have, I don't think we should have any players in both groups).
I know we have a couple of scout ships, I'd love to play in a group using one of the scout ships to explore around the sub-sector.

Hmm, a lot of scouts... looks like maybe we have two scout ship campaigns...
How about Lady Marie Leroux, Marci Boudreaux, and one or two more players characters starting at Penzance.
Scout Bronson Han could supply the 2nd scout ship and start from a different world, with two or three more players characters.
What do you think about a player potentially playing two PCs on the same ship?

I would like a game of exploration, contact with an alien (not implying nonhuman, just unknown) culture, and subterfuge.

I have no problem with a second PC in the same ship, assuming the player can properly handle it

I would echo The Red Baron. I would love to be a scout, explorer or possibly gritty (but not pirating) merchant type. |

Exploration and some gritty merchant play. I wouldn't be opposed to some justified gun running or smuggling or even some legal piracy...ie. Letters of Marque...stuff...in a good cause. Are we're going to be running two parties on two different ships, and if so, can we have a PC in each party, or are we limited to either/or? |

We are going to have two different parties, geographically separated and in all ways independent. Those who think they can handle a PC on each ship may, but I need to get 1 PC per person set first

I'd prefer to stick with the Scout I rolled up.

If I'm not too late, my ex-army chap (Hutch) would tag along with any space-faring crew to offer I'm a bunk. He's young and broke but good at heavy lifting and can handle an Air/Raft in any environment.

I'll go with my Marine; he has skills that aren't widely duplicated.

I can go with either character depending on the need of the group. Preference is for Abigail, but i'm flexible.
I will on a side note say that i will not be logging in for a two week period starting on Novemeber 26, if that influences any decissions

Maybe Mighty Darci and Erisred should give an idea of what their hopes for play are so other players can pick which ship they want to sign on to. I hope I'm not being too presumptuous with the suggestions I've made so far... Frank |

Bronson Han is your typical Scout. He is interested in exploring new places, experiencing new cultures and meeting new people.
As an official former Scout with a ship, he realizes he needs to earn credits to keep body and ship fueled and flying, so he's willing to do various things to earn his way: small package trade and moving mail and people to out of the way systems; take on private survey or contact missions; and even do a little smuggling...in a good cause. He isn't interested in outright piracy or smuggling drugs, period!
With the other party starting on Penzance, I could see Bron's party starting on Atlantia, in the far southeast of the map. Perhaps they came in from elsewhere...whatever is off the map to the south...and are moving into this subsector to explore. As a possibility:
Bronson and those with him were hired to work their way north and west into this subsector, exploring as they go. Bronson and those with him have never been in this subsector before, and know nothing about it, so everywhere they go they are surveying and learning. They would need to earn their way, though, through trade and missions from local patrons, but their overall goal would be to survey this subsector and eventually report their findings back to the company/polity that originally sent them here.
Who would be interested this sort of game?

I'll play a character in Han's Party.
If coffee's marine is in this party, I'll play Miro Hetzel, Galactic Effectuator
Otherwise I'll play M. Gregoire de Cloudforte (former captain in the imperial marines)

Yeah, I got a real chuckle when I saw it. Pictured a Sgt Bilko type character (showing my age ), but at 22, maybe more Bueller than Bilko? Of course Red Baron might have a different take, but that was what I thought when I saw Galactic Effectuator...a wiseguy that got what you needed and made things happen, just don't ask too many questions. Oh, I know! Tony Curtis in Operation Petticoat! |

Of course somewhere along the line, we have to encounter the Pirates of Penzance.  |
