Terran Empire

[Admiral Tim]

I was thinking about overlays and templates for the terran empire. What kind of changes would you make to the templates for humans and vulcans for example.
For humans I thought:
Arrogant (-1)
Power Hungry (-1)
Alertness (+2) (because they are raised to watch their back)
exchange the science skill for an unarmed combat skill
language English instead of Federation Standard

and for Vulcans:
remove Curious +1 and Code of Honor and put in Species Enemy (Humans) (-2)

as for templates, I don't have an idea yet, but I'll post it as soon as I have some more time to look it over.

Please let me know what you think and what your suggestions are, maybe someone has even run such a game.

Greetz,
Admiral Tim

here's a small update. when I come up with more, I'll post them.

Vulcan template:
same as above with extra:
Diminished Social Status (-2) (slave race)
Alertness (+2) (because of their social status)

all overlays:
Primitive Weaponry (Dagger) 1 (2)

any comments are welcome

They both seem like a good start, i can't think of anything i'd do to change them, and maybe the diminished social status would work well Terrans in an Alliance rule campaign? That's what i'd think anyway

that's indeed true. I'm going to brainstorm a little about some unique overlays for the terran empire. I'll post them as soon as I come up with them

Not sure how you want to make up the overlays, but don't forget "Captain's Woman", ie Hoshi and Marlena Moreu. should be kinda manipulative, and uh...'easy on the eyes'.

Might want to 'tweak' existing overlays to fit a non-exploratory, more 'predatory' outlook. More weapons skills, aggressive attributes, and not so much in the brains department.

Oh, and "Agony booth Technician", you gotta have one of those...well in Kirk's time anyway.
