Civilian Yard Worker

Engineering, Material (choose two) 2 (3) (3)

Computer (choose) 1 (2)

Language(s): Federation Standard 1
Science, Physical (Physics) 1 (2)

Zero-G Training +2

I guess a mix a match of civilian yard workers and the handfull of Starfleet crew assigned to a Fleet Yard could make for an interesting session or two. . . :D

Damn, I love ICON. :D :D :D

I like the tours. I know you can just spend the 10 or 5 DP freely, but personally I like seeing what other people come up with, sure as anything someone always has something you didn't think of & you have a bunch of new ideas and such from it !

I'm with you on ICON, I still prefer it, especially with tweaks from fans and other games to help flesh things out or improve them.

I'll have a few more new Tours to add once I have some free time. Anyone else got some ideas for Tours to add? Let's see 'em! :)

I posted a bunch of Romulan ones, Tal Shiar specifically waaay back. Did an early life package or two and a pile of overlays. Tal Shiar Assassin, Occupation Command Censor and Troops, Tal Shava & Teth Kora (sp?) troops ... I'll see if I'd done anything else Tours wise for Starfleet or anyone else

What about some Languages/communications missions packages just as Hoshi Sato in Enterprise or Uhura in TOS?

Here is an idea of Science (Communications Officer) Career Overlay:

Perception +1

Computer (Random) 2 (3)
Personal Equipment (Random) 1 (2)
Language
Federation Standard 1
Any other 1
Sciences, Social (Random) 2 (3)
Shipboard Systems (Communications) 2 (3)

Dodge 1
Administration (Random) 1 (2)
Energy Weapon (Random) 1 (2)
Law (Starfleet Regulations) 1 (2)
Engineering, Systems (Communications Systems) 1 (2)
Planetside Survival (Random) 1 (2)
Athletics (Random) 1 (2)
Vehicle Operations (Shuttlecraft) 1 (2)

Language Ability +2
Eidetic Memory +3


I nearly ended to update Reliant's program with the packages just above.

I like the idea of a communications specific specialist.

Maybe consider dropping Eidetic memory and adding another level of languages, leave the advantage as an individual choice.
Another thing to consider based on the CODA SOM communications person would be Physical Sciences (Mathematics) and maybe Espionage (Cryptography) for their work with codes and such.
Could drop the Social Science and just pick up that and things like culture & history through tours ...
The SOM entry for CODA has them as Ops as opposed to science.

I never really liked how TNG era stuff just all of a sudden lumped so much between Worf (Tactical, Security, Communications, Sensors) and Data at Ops, and just dropped the whole idea of a science officer (strange to me given Starfleet being an exploratory organization) and communications.

Somewhere around here is a Communications Officer Overlay based on Sato. It would need some tweeks to be more general, as it was very ST:E centered. There was also the Communications Officer Overlay from the LUG ST: TOS Corebook too.

Ah, here we go:

That's actually a point short, and I think it should probably have the Language Ability Advantage seeing how the position seemed to be a lot more than just opening communicaitons channels. The Comm Officer also acted as translator!

Is the Communication officer more "Science" or "Operation" personnel? As there is a special duty post for them that exist no more after TNG, it's a good question indeed. For myself I think it's more Science than Operation.

---

Perhaps things like cryptography are more a specific kind of training (Starfleet Intelligence Com?) than a part of the "regular" Communication Officer Career package? I believe that could be better as a part of a tour of duty pack. (If someone has ideas...)

Ok, I agree, let's do it!

I think that Universal Translator, Communicators, Traduction Matrix and other "communications devices" are a part of the whole "Communication Systems" of a ship and that'a not necessary to make another specialisation.

(Sorry for the mistakes, as I'm not a communication officer, english is not my native language :p)

Here is an updated version:

Vehicle Operations (Shuttlecraft) 1 (2)

Language Ability +2

Your English is fine, droidscotty. Couldn't even tell it wasn't your first language. Where ya from?

I think a Comm Officer is more an Ops assignment, not sure about ST: ENT but I'm sure on ST: TOS the Comm Officers wore red like the engineers and security.

RealPity, ever do Tours or Training Packages for Klingons? Someone had a few way back when. I remember they had a list of skills for "Klingon Great House" and another for "Klingon Lesser House." I should try to find those.

In ENT, Hoshi has a blue line on is jacket, making her a science officer. Engineers, security and Ops personnel have red one (as red and yellow uniform are inverted between TOS era and TNG era)

Cool, I think we have a hand full of French speakers here. There was a thread that was in nothing but French at one time. Sad to say I only know one language, so I have no idea what they were saying. :o

You know, that would make a lot of sense--at that time the Comm Officers were more than just opening channels; they were linguists and thus true scientists.

I think so.

See the thread "Files for BrianK" for an updated version of Reliant's Program inlcuding packages from this thread, "FIS Academy" and "Revising Medical Overlays"

There's a ton in the incomplete fan-done Klingon Sourcebook. All tours are 10 DP and lots of early life packages too

These were done in the Player's Guide format. They may duplicate some of what's already been posted as I just copied and pasted form an old document I had made years ago. Hope they're useful!

MEDICAL CAREER

HERBALIST/ DOCTOR
For cultural and biological reasons, Klingon medicine is primitive compared to Federation, Romulan or Cardassian medical practices. Klingon medicine derives from ancient traditions of herbalism. The Klingon herbalist (who sometimes goes by the title "doctor," especially when serving on a ship) usually treats diseases and injuries with special teas, poultices, and infusions. He may also know some modern medical techniques, but prefers not to use them unless absolutely necessary; his idea of anesthesia, for example, is for someone to hold the patient down (or knock him out) while he does the cutting. While herbalists abilities are often represented with Science Skills, their knowledge derives from folklore, apprenticeships and other matters; for most characters, it's more "folk wisdom" about how the Klingon body works than formal training in the biological sciences.

Combat Medicine: The character joined the military as a physician. During his tenure in the military he learned a great deal about treating battle injuries.

CHAPTER 13 SHIPBOARD SERVICE TOURS OF DUTY PACKAGES

These packages describe the skills, abilities and other benefits a character would learn while filling a particular position aboard an IKDF starship or a House fleet. The character spent his entire tour of duty in that position or positions closely related to it. Note there are no "Command" or "Security" branch officers on Klingon ships. Command, as discussed above, is a function of ability, not training in a particular school All Klingon officers must see to the security of their ship; the Commanding officer delegates crewmen to specific security duties when he feels it's necessary Characters who spend a lot of time on security details can construct their own "package" from the generic attributes and Traits list for this stage of the Background History (which includes Security).

Communications Officer: A Klingon communications officer receives and transmits messages from other ships and the High Council, encodes and decodes messages, and serves as the ship's "ears to the galaxy."
Computer (choose Specialization) 1 (2), Shipboard Systems (Communications) 1 (2), Systems Engineering (Communications) 1 (2), +2 Skill Renown

Engineering Officer: Klingon engineers have never been known for their subtlety-everyone in the quadrant knows the old joke about how they fix things by beating on them. While he sometimes loses his temper with the equipment (or those who misuse it), he's a highly skilled technician, who often devises innovative solutions to engineering problems, helping to keep his ship in fighting trim.
Engineering, Any (choose Specialization) 2 (3), Engineering, Any Other (Choose Specialization) 1 (2), Innovative +1, Intolerant -1 (of people who abuse his precious ship), +2 Skill Renown

Field Promotion: Unable to gain admission to the Klingon military on his own merits, the character signed on as a "civilian" laborer on a Klingon ship. One day his quick thinking and heroic actions saved the ship. A battlefield commission and position in the Klingon military soon followed igniting jealousy and antagonism in some circles. (To take this package, the character must have at least one of the following: the Houseless House Template; the Lowborn Upbringing Early Life History package; or the Laborer (Ship) Career package.)
Any one Military Skill (choose Specialization) 1 (2), Craft (choose Specialization representing work done as a shipboard laborer) 1 (2). Shipboard Systems (choose Specialization) 1 (2). Promotion +1, Famous Incident +2, +2 Aggression or Initiative Renown, +2 Skill Renown, buy off -1 Diminished Social Status, +2 Initiative Renown, Marked Man -3, Scorned -2

Helm, Navigation: Like old-fashioned Starfleet vessels, modern Klingon ships divide the functions of Helm (the officer who pilots the ship) and Navigation (the officer who plots the course the ship follows).
Computer (choose Specialization) 1 (2), Shipboard Systems (Helm or Navigation, as appropriate, and one additional Specialization) 1 (2) and (2), Systems Engineering (choose Specialization) 1 (2)

Medical Officer: While Klingon medical technology lags behind that of many other races for cultural and biological reasons, Klingon ships usually travel with a doctor on board.
First Aid (Klingon OR Wound/Combat Trauma) 1 (2), Life Sciences (choose Specialization) 1 (2), Medical Sciences (Klingon) 1 (2), Physical Sciences (Klingon Herbalism) 1 (2), Code of Honor: Klingon Physician's Code -2

Tactical Officers: Klingons divide Tactical duties between two or more "Tactical" officers: gunners and shield officers (who also operate the cloaking device). The gunner with the most seniority on the crew is nominally in charge of all of his brethren. The more weapons a ship carries, the more Tactical officers it employs.
Shipboard Systems (choose Specialization relating to Tactical-either Tactical or a more discrete one such as Weapons Systems or Cloaking Device) 2 (3), Systems Engineering (choose Specialization) 1 (2), +2 Skill Renown

[DROOL] Oh, nice! [/DROOL] :D

Definitely a lot of work and people's ideas went into it, you can see by some of them how they're similar & the final product likely would have whittled it down somewhat.
Tons of ideas though, a lot are suitable as is or with a minor tweak to fit any character.
Any & all references to new skills or traits are given in the book.
In addition to early life & tours each Klingon character has a House package too which is a 9 DP part of the char gen with renown (helps set inital Honor), skills and traits.
The work had great potential ...

Yes, it would have been very nice to have the completed work.

How did the House Package fit into character generation? Was the Klingon Template short points and the House Packages taken to equalize the points?

It's actually a bit oddly done compared to most:

50 DP Klingon species template
24 DP (although in error it only covers using 21 DP) warrior overlay
5 DP background history (left out of the DP calculations in the work in progress)
9 DP house template
10 DP tour/career

So your basic Klingon with one tour starts at 98 DP (the book forgot to add 5 for background and says 93 DP, but I digress ...) versus 128 for Starfleet or 110 for civilians. So it suggests taking 3 (118 DP) or 4 (128 DP) tours altogether to come up to par. All tours are always 10 DP, no reduction to 5 DP for additional tours.

Very odd, but you know last night while I was working I think I talked myself into liking it. Klingon characters jump right into their house fleets (or an allied house fleet if your house is too small to field a fleet of their own) and learn by doing. No fancy academy, just first hand experience like in the early british and US navies. Those that don't make it. . .well, really don't make it. lol It's just like we seen with Alexander in some of the DS9 shows.

Would have been very interesting.

I think it works well for the Klingon way of doing things too.

Some of the tours have prerequisites too, for instance Diplomat; can't be an A unless you've first been a B, so you have to have more than 1 tour, yet it's not unbalancing for a starting character as you'd end up with the same amount of DP overall.

Lots of different thinking in the work. There's 4 (I believe) martial arts, and the way they do it is there's a master list of "klingon" maneuvers and each martial art is built with a number of these maneuvers ... makes sense in a way, you'd see similarities in them all as they're all "Klingon" but are essentially different from each other by making different maneuver selections.

Okay, found time for some additional Engineering Tours of Duty. For the sake of completness, the original three I posted are reapeated here along with the new ones. Enjoy! :D

Okay, Initiative and Demolitions Skill. Why am I suddenly not wanting this guy on my ship? :p

Not sure what I was thinking with that one. Too tired to stay up any longer. . .anyone have ideas for replacement for this Tour?

Oh, and I have a bunch more Tours I'm working on: couple Security, couple Command and a few general Operations stuff. Lots coming soon! :D

COMMAND PACKAGES

Tour of Duty Packages (Each costs 10 Development Points)

Okay, some Command Packages. For completness I added the JAG Package from earlier (I edited that post it was from). I think these are influenced by my work on the Diplomatic Packages as these are mostly diplomatic in nature. The Cultural Liaison would be a short term (year or two) assignment assisting an ambassador and his staff who are not familar with the World/Culture they are posted. The Military Liaison would be a Worf type character, who put in years as a Security Officer and Chief of Security; it is basically a Strategic Operations Officer assigned to a Diplomatic Post to advise Diplomatic Staff on military matters.

I'm thinking of rouding up all these posts and adding them all to the list in the first message of this thead. Be nice to have them all in one spot, I think.

More nice work Redwood.

Did you get the Tours from Lost Episodes or Untaken Treks? ... the one's for the Security Handbook.

That should fill some in for the Security branch, although a few of them would be well suited to any branch of course.

Thanks, RealPity. And thanks for reminding me about the S. John Ross Untaken Treks: To Protect and Serve! I had forgotten all about it, and it was one of my favorite Untaken Trek bits! :o
