I am working on a character concept for an upcoming STRPG campaign. I know that I want my character to be a Command Officer (we will be using Decipher's RPG, books on order and will be here soon - so if this is covered in the books sorry!). I was wondering, what would my young Command Officer do.
I know how to run Operations/Science/Medical officers, their duties are clear. If you are Flight Control, you fly the ship. If you are Sensors or Communications or Security, you run those stations. If you are Medical or Science, you work on things in relation to your field of study.
Command Officers... if you are Capt. Picard or Commander Riker, I know what you do. But for my LT (jg) who is just started in Command, what the heck does he do?
Could I make a Command Officer who is an Operations duty officer? I think Tom Paris was Command (red uniform), yet he was the Flight Control Officer (something regulated to Operations -gold uniform). How does the Decipher system handle transfers? If I make my character Operations/Flight Control or something but want him to be Command later, what do I do?
I think you have an idea of what I'm asking, any information/advice/help/page numbers would be WONDERFUL!
Thanks a lot!
