Starship Assignment and Action Extension
Installing
To use this extension, download the attached file. Then, you will need to put it in your "extensions" subfolder under the FG data folder (accessible via the folder icon on the launch screen). Next, after you select your campaign and before you click Start, select this extension in the Extensions list for your campaign.
Overview
Dominic has been busy toiling away in the background working on a new extension to be used with Starfinder to begin getting starships more functional. While there is plenty more to do, this extension will allow you to try out one of the functionality features we are planning to add soon.
In order for any sort of combat and general play to be automated, we first needed a way to assign PCs as officers to PC ships, and be able to allow actions based on those assignments to be available on both the PC ship (shows all actions; for GMs) and on the character sheet (by assigned role; for players).
Features
- To set ship up for assignments, drag PC ships to new Fleet tab on Party Sheet.
- To make assignment, drag PC to an assignment box on the newly created PC ship entry on the Fleet tab.
- To use PC actions, go to new Ships tab on PC sheet. Then, click on the button on the right side of your ship assignment to see possible actions.
- To use PC ship actions (for GMs), go to the updated Crew tab on PC ship sheet. Then, click on the button on the right side of the crew assignment to see possible actions.
Feedback
Please let us know what you think of the feature, as well as how we can improve. We're planning to make minor improvements prior to incorporation into the ruleset over the next few weeks. We plan to keep functional changes fairly minor, if possible, so we can focus on getting a basic ship combat tracker in place after that.

[v1.0.1] - Added sName declaration to charship_crew.lua 42
[v1.0.2] - Fixed hard coded DCs for actions DataCommon
[v1.0.3] - Made changes to Science Officer help text. Arranged Partysheet labels to align correctly with fields.
[v1.0.4] - Cleared error when trying to get Token value (Changed getDatabaseNode to getValue)
[v1.0.5] - Changed Roll outputs to show Action name
[v1.0.6] - Fixed one of my mistakes this time. Changed over v's to w's and looks like one of them didn't replace.
[v1.0.7] - Added the ability for the Character ship to track pilot modifiers to the ship. Adding a PC to the role of Pilot will add their ranks to the AC and TL.
[v1.0.8] - Removed drop code for character sheet to PC Ships. Not intended process to add crew to ship. The process would be to drag the ship to the partysheet and then add crew to the role boxes on the partysheet.
We will leave this extension up if you wish to use it without the additional new features provided in the the stickied post above with both extensions combined. Please continue providing feed back related to this extension here or the other sticky thread to it's functionality.
