The stars are the limit.
This shit is a sci fi quest thing that's gunna be fun as hell, and really in depth, and serious, trust me, I'm really good at this. Also don't be a pussy but death and shit is a really real possibility. No hand holding, git gud and use your think box, we'll cross how we want to handle death when we come to it.
>You are anonymous, an ambitious young adult human male from a galaxy far far away who may have made a really good, or really bad life choice.
>You bought a fucking ticket and an over-priced junker of a spaceship, about two galaxy's away from charted human territory.
>On your way to some un-aligned and half-unexplored sector of the universe, with little skill or money to get by on, and probably even less gas.
>But hey, adventure right? Not like your going to crash on an uninhabited planet with no way to get back and get eaten by a genestealer who'll become you and eventually get rescued only to hunt down any living family you still have or anything.. right?
The more you think about this the worse of an idea it seems, but your a drop-out who was stuck on an overpopulated hiveworld with your entire future being a fry-cook at mc-ronalds before you got old enough to be recycled into the very burgers you help create.
So when the opportunity to sell everything you ever have or will own and buy that junker of a ship and that offer to assist in the human colonization of a pretty new sector fell on you They probably literally pulled your name out of a hat You couldn't really refuse, and with a government grant backing you up on getting started everything seemed too good to be true.
And it probably was, since you are horribly unprepared and you've spent yours and your families life savings on a small junker of a ship, it doesn't look too terrible in all honesty but it's bare as hell.
>But more on Anon's mis-fortune later, I think its time you iron out the details of what to spend those sweet ass points on.

KNOWLAGE AND ABILITY

>And about that ship.
It's not too great to say the least, but it has four seats that can comfortably fit about four people, it has a single bed and some leg room along with bathroom/small kitchen about the size of a family RV with about what you'd expect inside with a largish hunk of hull in the back for any cargo or add-ons, it even came with a little tiki girl bobble head, the one with the grass skirt and tiny guitar that you don't remember the name of.
Again, the ship aint much of a looker, but its thick, sturdy, and has room for improvement.
You had a little cash to buy some extra mods though.
CHOSE TWO FOR THE SHIP
>One scrapper arm
A big ass arm with lazers attached so you can grab onto derelict ships or not so derelict ships and strip the fuck out of them for parts, that and maybe some really shit tier mining.
>Torpedo hold with 8 shells, along with a rechargeable laspistol mk2.5 and backup mag.
This bitch can blast a hole in a ship from a safe distance, and that's all you really need aint it? Though its not going to win a war but you COULD take out someone better prepared than you with it and a bit of luck, torpedo's are expensive though. On another note, that laspistol is pretty fucking quality.
>Deployable Melta drill and two heavy duty mining hardsuits
This shit was made to MINE ALL MINE ALL THE TIME! It could do some damage to hostile lifeforms on the mine, but its clunky as fuck and somewhat dangerous, though its still badass and can mine like a mutherfucker, and those hardsuits are tough as shit.
>4 Energy field holding cells and electropulse deployable net with short distance hovering, along with three shock collars and stunprod.
These energy fields will hold the shit out of anyone you put inside, good for hunting exotic aliens for turning in to be registered, or research, or forced labour, space elf slaves what do. That net is nifty as fuck, throw it over someone subdued and it'll keep them that way by almost lethal electric pulses! Totally configurable, and it'll hover them a foot off the ground and follow you.
>MORE HULL ROOM
BIGGER HULL BIGGER GUTS! RIP AND TEAR!
>More comfortable and stylish quarters along with mini-holo deck for fun and a pair of void and flight capable 'wind surfers' along with two light and un-encumbering voidsuits. AND A MINI-BAR
You know you wanna buy this and become the galaxy's best beach bum.
>Starskimmer gas collector, converter, and hydroponic lab.
This hunk of junk taking up space may look stupid, but it could also save your life for when something goes HORRIBLY WRONG and you run out of fuel, harvesting gas clouds and converting them into usable fuel and energy, while the hydroponics lab keeps everyone watered, fed, and gives the ship a crisp flowery smell!
>Fuck that, you kept some of that money for some of the obviously better and cooler shit your bound to find out here.
FUCK YEAH, 10K CREDITS BITCH OFF THE BAT!

>>4368Some clarification on the drill.
It is a huge drill ON YOUR SHIP pointing down, it shoots HOT FUCKING BEAMS OF HOT SHIT down AS IT DRILLS THE EARTH of wherever your ship is placed/hovers.
You can also use it to RAIN HORRIBLE FIERY DEATH ON THOSE BELOW YOU.
Though it has a good chance of fucking everything it touches up.

>>4375 sorry to you, first come first served, unless you guys want me to change it to a diceroll/vote, then let me know.
He's got a well rounded build for survivability anyways, though it may be a bit before you have real fun with SCIENCE AND ALIENS!! and don't be afraid to spend future points you get on SCIENCE!! if you want, also you'll probably pick up a companion or two or ten or entire crew down the line, you can help them level up skills along with yourself, assuming you ever invest any points in social ineptitude, as it will greatly assist in better dialog options and shit, but nothing wrong with being average cabbage.
Now, Thanks for sticking with me here, Writing.

You've been sealed in in this cryostatis tube for almost a year in transport, stuck with that feeling of dread that this was some kind of horrible mistake you were so gung-ho about seconds before they showed you the new home you'd have for the next 11 months.
The feeling seems to ease away as you slowly feel your senses return to you and you begin to gain control over your body, feeling like a new born baby covered in freezer burn as a dull sting covers your whole body, as the tube begins to flush out its mix of chemicals unknown to you.
You've been half awake this entire time, in an almost dream like state, bored out of your mind stuck inside a living hell, with nothing to do and no way to move, but as the frost around you melts off and warm air, feeling almost scolding hot washes over your form you shudder in relief, anyone who says anything good about cryogenic storage should try this for themselves, because this has been the most unpleasant 11 months of your life.
The burning sensation leaves your body after a short while and you begin to gain control over your fingers and toes, then your eyes and mouth, and then lastly your limbs themselves.
Blinking a few times you see an older looking man with white hair and a green stripped white lab-coat, looking like your stereotypical nerd scientist, standing infront of your tube tapping a pen on a notepad, watching you expecting something.
You attempt to lift your left arm and it works without fault, causing him to scribble on the pad, before he asks, "Hello, can you tell me your name?" as he waves his hand infront of your face.
>Choices
"Ayy lamo"
"My name is not important, what is important is what I'm going to do, I just hate that fucking cryotube, and all th- FUCK"" you shout as you push yourself out of the cryo tube, before promptly falling on your face.
"Anonymous, age 18-21, Year 3489, Current leader of earth is John D Smith."
"Anon, now where the fuck am I?"
"I swear to god doc if you don't get me out of this fucking tube I'm going to sue"
"It's… anonymous… I think.."
"John D Smith, leader of earth, I've come here to seek new alien life forms and spread the human gene."
"Who are you again?"
"It's anon, now can I get some clothes or something? It's c-cold in here."

I'll be all for running this quest tomorrow evening depending on how long my dnd game takes, and if I need to do any work. I'd like to do the quest when people are actually around so I can get a decent speed going.

Sorry about the wait, but ayyy I totally forgot about valentines day and I've got bitches to shop for ;-;
Slow quest is better than no quest so I'll pick this up at full speed mid-day when the holidays are over.
And I was looking forward to you guys flying through space like a 12 year old in a stolen car because ab-so-lootly no piloting skill.
But ay, something to look forward to, I hope you all have a happy valentines day and know that feel when you cuddle a girl who's madly in love with you.
