Our crew's initial advancements fit Doug's model perfectly. Our executive officer had nine, to reflect her additional Command Training, my Chief Engineer had six, and our fresh-out-of-the-academy Medical Officer had one. From commander to lieutenant commander to ensign, it matches nicely
.
Ye cats, I made Ensign! Woo hoo! :D
My characters are all civilians so I just started everybody with three and that seemed to work.
Of course, since this is my first CODA campaign I decided to go heavy on the experience points so I can judge how the characters advance. This means that my characters are going up fast, but this isn't a problem with my players and lets me see how the game system works at many levels of advancement.
That's a great idea!!!Quote:

So it's only one advancement for each rise in rank?Quote:
