You can get any armor up to Cr10000 and TL12.

When you said I had 2K credits I could spend on gear. I assumed that counted weapons and armour. Is that right? Because that took up all of the 2K. I still have 13K credits to spend first time we go shopping.
Also...how do ship shares work and do any of the rest of you have any?

The cr2000 does include weapons and armor. His armor comes as one of his mustering-out benefits, which is why he gets more to spend on such. You can spend your other Cr13000 in-game.
A ship share is part ownership in a vessel, MCr1 worth. If anyone else has shares, we'll make them all part of the same ship for convenience. This is not actual money, but rather credit ratings, loan papers, bank statements, etc. Most ships cost on the order of Cr45000000 (MCr45) or more but are paid off in monthly installments. Normally, this is paid for through passenger service, cargo transport, or similar means. We'll be glossing over a large part of this, but you'll still want to pick up passengers or will be asked to carry cargo from time to time.
Any ship shares the group has will go towards a free trader. It is a small, unarmed vessel designed to carry up to 10 passengers (plus 20 in low berths (cryogenic suspension)) and up to 82 tons of cargo. It has no weapons or defenses, but can be modified to carry such.
I will permit the group to have a vessel with a slightly lower mortgage if desired, but the vessel will have certain quirks.

Hey guys, I've been trying to find the time to read through the character generation rules and correct some of my mistakes and get my character finished up, but work got buys as did home. So I'm just not gonna have the time to figure this out anytime soon. I'll just bow out.
WhtKnt, thanks for setting up the game and putting up with my questions so far. GLHF everyone!

I think you can take both, Pilot and Survival. Can't hurt to have a second pilot
@WhtKnt I can still buy equipment for 2000Cr, right? I'm gonna do this tomorrow

It is okay, and affirmative on the Cr2000 spending. When everyone is ready, I'll kick things off.

I'll leave it to Steve, I have a slug thrower so I'm quite fine with not having the energy weapon skill.
I'm gonna buy an Electronics toolkit at exactly 2000Cr ;)

Due to family events, I will be less responsive the coming week, perhaps up to two weeks and especially the coming days. I'll try to minimize the disruption as much as possible.

Rolling for stats:
STR 10 +1
DEX 4 -1
END 8 +0
INT 3 -1
EDU 6 +0
SOC 6 +0
Strong, but dumb and clumsy (unless I swap stats around). Is there any sort of crew position we are desperately missing?
