ST Webzine question.

In Final Frontier 07 there is an awesome write up on post academy advancement. Table 03... Is it supposed to be the same as table 02?


*EDIT*
Nevermind, I just found the PDF for it. Sorry guys.

Thanks for such an awesome E-Mag

Where is this .PDF? I think that, somehow, I missed it!

[Commander Ramey]

oh dear.

I found it on my hard drive where I had downloaded it before...

It is in the same zip file: http://starbase-coda.com/files/books/BTFF7.zip

I do have a question though... If you have a guy that has taken 2 flagship tours, a colonial and a military tour, does that mean he only has 6 advancements?

That would depend on how long the tours were. You get one advancement for every two years served, with a bonus of an additional advancement every two years for Flagship duty.

So if each tour in your example was only two years long (the absolute minimum), the answer would be yes, he only has 6 advancements.

How does a captain get to more than a few advancements without being really old?

[GandalfOfBorg]

Well he could be a PC Otherwise you can always change the number of advancements per year to suit your needs.

Remember these are guidelines to allow players to create characters that will be played. In the course of a game, they will accumulate advancements much faster than the "average" as indicated by the Tours of Duty.

Also, captains of ships aren't don't always have the rank of Captain; they can be Lt. Commanders or Commanders as well. This is a good thing as you can game with a fairly low-powered crew and still have plenty of room for improvement where gaining advancements is concerned. If you start with a Captain, even using the Tour of Duties, he will be very competent as they should be... they've been in the service for somewhere near 20 yrs typically (give or take a couple years).

[Commander Ramey]

Very true. Just wondering how they were before the end of the series... That helps though. Thanks fella, always there with the answers
