Ok, let's do some rolls.
Rolls
Strength - (2d10+25)
(81) + 25 = 34
Speed - (2d10+25)
(33) + 25 = 31
Intellect - (2d10+25)
(65) + 25 = 36
Combat - (2d10+25)
(12) + 25 = 28
Sanity - (2d10+10)
(47) + 10 = 21
Fear - (2d10+10)
(88) + 10 = 26
Body - (2d10+10)
(29) + 10 = 21
Health - (1d10+10)
(1) + 10 = 11
Loadout (-1 because from 0 to 9, not 1 to 10) - (1d10-1)
(2) - 1 = 1
Trinket (-1 because 0 to 99, not 1 to 100) - (d100-1)
(97) - 1 = 96
Patch - (1d100-1)
(87) - 1 = 86
Credit - (2d10)
(98) = 17

Hey, I'm advancing through character creation process. However, not sure about the meaning of this part
got it, nevermind
and how should I handle rank \ level part?

and even more questions! Are we spending credits for equipment before the start, or they are for in-game trading? And can I sell a flamethrower, and buy, for example, a shotgun?
Will be playing marine with terrible stats, by the way ^ )

I believe the rank/level is 0. I assume it's the same as the high-score mentioned in the rules.
Skill training takes a long time and happens between sessions, so it should not be relevant for this one-off.

yeah, I've guessed the same mostly. The question with credits stands, though.
Well, I've submitted a character--maybe there will be some minor equipment changes after credit system clarification.
The concept is a relatively young and problematic, not-so-successful marine who likes to talk about "his former military achievements during special operations," but his stories can sound a little bit doubtful. Explosive, hot-tempered, "say first, then think."

Considering my terrible stat roll, seems like a perfect marine concept for the game :3

Well, you are almost as good combatant as experienced marine James ; )
How did you manage to insert a fancy copy?

I clicked the pencil icon and copied the entire sheet.
Your character will probably be a lot better in a fight (weapon training, actual weapons, and armour) :)

The pencil icon allows you to edit the sheet format itself, rather than fill in details for the existing sheet.

Sorry about the confusion with the character sheet. I pulled it from the GamersPlane trove so it was created by someone else. It seems like yall figured it out, but the Stat/Skill sections are kind of confusing and IMO unnecessary. After this game, I will probably make an updated version based on the feedback here to improve clarity.
@akkarin - I'll let anyone that wants to spend starting credits before the adventure do that. There will be no opportunity to do it once the adventure starts. As far as swapping gear from loadouts, I'll let anyone swap an item for another item of lower cost. As a survival horror game, I want to maintain the feeling of scarcity and making use of what is available to generate hard decisions.
Also, while the stats might feel low/bad, they dont represent natural abilities but rather how a character performs on the worst day of their lives. And failing a roll will not necessarily mean you fail to do what you want, but could mean you do what you want but with negative consequences.

Yep, since this is in the realm of OSR, I expect that rolling dice is the last resort - if you can solve something without rolling, that's usually the better option.
I've tailored my character sheet somewhat (removed unused rank and level sections for one thing), let me know if you want that version.

That would be great if you could share the tailored version!

I just don’t like flamethrower thematically; though it seems to be pretty effective. Ok, I’ll spend credits and maybe swap gear tomorrow

@Dmbrainiac I think you should roll 2d10 for starting credits.
upd. Bought some equipment with my credits, the character is finished.

My dude is going to be a Teamster named Keith that is visiting the station as his sister's plus one while taking some much needed vacation time. Details to come on my character sheet.
EDIT: didn't know these rolls didn't multiply, so my credits would be 160c.
