3= gun combat (skill goes to 1, skipping 0)
I was looking at your character sheet, and I think you made a mistake here. I think you have to choose 1 specific type of gun to get the 1 in. You get 0 in all the others.
Can you confirm, @vagueGM?
Tx

Fixed it.
This will help me with the weapon I'm about to get. Or choose?
Have to read up on that.

Yeah, obviously pick Skill and Weapon that match.
Airshark says:

Not sure what the question is. Feel free to shout if you need help, or save this decision till we first see the weapon and then pick something appropriate (for both Weapon and Skill).

weapon will be a TL11 Laser pistol

I think this is the last thing in character creation?

Is there an amount to be spend before we start our travels?

Cool. Might be that TL11 is 'fancy' and most of our stuff is lower than that. That makes this special and noteworthy, that being why you kept it. But this does not have to be true.

Aside from Connections and Skills Package, I think so.

If you have Cash, you can spend up to Cr10.000 of it on whatever you like before we start. Any extra Cash you can only spent after the game starts at market rates (which could be better or worse than list price).

I got it in the Navy When I got promot... Oh wait 🤔☹️

I'll think about it. Easiest would be a gift from my loaded parents.
Or maybe a reward after performing surgery on a VIP.

I'll take
Electronics toolkit TL7 2KG for 2000. How nice, they use the metric system. It says "specific skill" so maybe it is useless to me.
Laser pistol power pack for 3000
Last but not least a medikit.
What is the highest TL I can get away with? 8/10/12 1kg 1000/1500/5000

hmmm. Maybe some drugs too...

Of course. :)

Let's save a final decision till we have decided on the TL of the setting. Join the discussion.
TL 10 is probably safe to assume (unless we decide radically different), but TL 12 might be a bit high, and would exceed your allowed Cr10K spend limit if you wanted anything else.

Optionally: If you want to set aside a few KCr for 'medical drugs' you can declare --when they are needed-- that that is exactly what you bought.

I think you give the Kit a Skill, it does that thing, or adds to your roll when you do that thing. Take a look at the text for Scientific Toolkit on page 121 for how it might work (substitute Science with Electronics).

The DM+2 would be nice though ;-)

That could come in handy,

So toolkit electronics (computer) would give me a +2 when working with/hacking computers - or + the TL difference.

Agreed. But it is also a thing you can work up to. Maybe you have heard about a fancy, high-tech medkit somewhere that you go hunting for (gives us a quest) or have to save up for or negotiate the sale of.

If we adjust the setting's TL down to TL10, maybe you can only get a TL8 kit and have to play out getting a TL10?
Airshark says:

Saves you needing to work out now what sorts of situation you will need these supplies for. But if you buy specific drugs we will try to make them become relevant, so it is a two-way-street.

We would need to look at the rules and you would need to tell us what sort of thing you would be using this for (I did not want to ask before, because it can seem like the GM saying 'that is a bad idea' when I was merely puzzled).

Might you not be better off getting a Computer instead? For what you are describing, that might be more suitable, especially with your Computers Skill. If you have a Ship, it will have a Computer, but having a Portable Computer of your own could be useful. (I have not looked at the rules for using computers.)
