How to add a pc to a ships crew?

[Dalton Calford]

I am testing out the new Highguard stuff, created a PC ship and I am trying to add crew. There is no edit button, no ability to drag a pc onto the crew tab etc.

How are we supposed to fill the crew?

You can't until I figure out how to allow Crew to interact with the PC ship. As stated in the posts for each version there it says what you can currently do.

Cargo is on the table at the moment, again figuring out how to do that, I think it may have to be via Party Sheet.

I've been ill the last 48 hours and so done nothing except sleep. I'm feeling better tonight so I hope to crack the Cargo issue, that may then lead the 'way' for Crew as my aim is to use the Crews skills for certain actions.

Feel better soon. Relax and take it easy. We can wait, I just thought it was something I was missing or not understanding.

Just as a comment, I think that all that needs to be listed on the Crew Tab is a character name, position, and maybe the skill that the person is using in that position (IE. Pilot for Pilot position)

Just to give my background, I am a GM, using MGT2 now. Have been playing since the late 70s. Currently I am created modules on FG for use within my campaign, and I also run the Traveller RPG House Rules site on Facebook.

Hi Watchcase,

I've been posting around this last week, as my test came back on Sunday as Negative, phew.

Good to hear that you're well MBM

Some ideas for the Ship in general.
- Drag and Drop for roles in Crew, with an option to add rolls / actions.
- A way to control "power" on the ship, right now it's a little tappy.
- Better components on the ship, if damage is taken, or something is destroyed, it's difficult to control.

Beyond that, it's looking good.

Best Regards.

while we wait for mbm's starship combat to be completed i built a simple visual aid that lets my players track which pc is in which crew position.
it's very simple, just an image i made with some tokens for the crew.

Good stuff, I just might borrow this for a while, I actually have one with all the rolls and actions, but it is proving a bit difficult to find the right size, I can share mine later this evening if I get it presentable enough

You may already know this, and I'm not sure if this is considered a bug, but here you go:

Before finding this thread, I was trying to drag PCs into the PC Ship Crew tab.

Dragging a PC from the Character Selection window, or from the portrait or token of an opened PC, result in anything typed out in the character's Personal Notes section, being copied into the ship's Note tab. If you drag another PC onto the ship, the Notes from that character overwrite the first.

Again, I don't have enough experience with the program or the code to know if this is normal, or even if it's worth fixing, but I'm sharing just in case.

Thanks, and thank you for all your hard work!

Does the Weapon Attack roll work for anyone else? Doesnt seem to be working for me. The Damage Roll does.

Can you give a bit more info, what weapon attack, what weapon, what ship, a screen shot would be really helpful here.

PC Space Ship, a PC Space ship I made. 'Money Upfront'. I filled in the dice code, then tried erasing the dice code from one I had filled out, then I added a blank weapon and see if that did anything. The attack roll button isnt working. However the damage roll button is working. However the second ship, 'Eat ****', has a working attack roll button. So some reason 'Money Upfront' is bugged out and its not working.

Attack is an integer not the dice, ie 2 or 3 or -3, the same it is on the character as attack is not a dice roll, it's a modifier to the 2d6 rolled for attack, but damage can be D6, D3 or DD plus a damage type.

Change to that and you should be good.

Is there a problem with weapons onboard ships from the PC SCRAFT tab, they don't seem to show up for me in the combat tracker when I drop the PC ship in there?

Thanks.

[GregRex]

I confirmed. Adding to To Do list.

The current play method is to use the Spacecraft PC sheet's Weapons tab to perform weapon actions.
