Hm. The role of pilot could be coupled in with mercs.
How big of a crew did you want? Light freighter? Heavy freighter? Corvette? Frigate?
I'm trying to think whether we could make do with shared roles, or if we need designated specialists.

Mine was just an idea. A crew as small as 5 works, or something up to the size of the normandy, at 100 people. Depends on what people are up for.

We could do a stripped down Corvette, like a CR90. they function fine with a skeleton crew of 20, and would be quite fast and durable. Also comes with armanant, so we're not helpless if we come across pirates.

1. Who will GM? If there will be a GM... In that case of these RP's it's more like a moderator or referee type role.
Exploration in the Unknown Regions... hmm... I'm halfway tempted to rebuild my two Raporan characters for a campaign like that... have em be the local alien refugees the crew picked up in the first couple chapters.

Nelo's idea and the KotOR continuation look the most appetizing.

@ Rodyn: Motivation? The same one for any of the other RPs: To get a decent paycheck and do what you love doing. Excitement, exploration, a thirst for a life experienced only by few.
I dunno. Why would anyone seek adventure?

I dunno. Why would anyone seek adventure? So we're basically recreating the classic DnD setting, but with Star Wars? Gallivanting around the galaxy in search of adventure, treasure, and wenches? I can dig it. So long as it isn't the Revan/Exile thing.

Star Trek meets Kotor, i guess. With a dash of Mass effect sprinkled in there for extra fun.
As for a CR90, we don't really need something that big. We could go smaller, such as a Maurader or any number of ships. Or, just invent a ship from scratch to better serve our purposes.

For a given faction like the Imps from what I suggested earlier, perhaps instead it could just be a random group of people that wanna get away from the mess of the aftermath of the war. That way pretty much anyone from anywhere can be an acceptable character, just that in the overall big picture, we all share the same goal.
Like, the crew could consist of people from the ranges of an Imp that's trying to redeem himself post-war by doing something good, a rebel wanting to avoid more bloodshed, a deserter trying to make ends meet, an outlaw trying to lay low by taking a legitimate job for a while, etc.

YV-775...
I don't think I need a return to the experience of a crimson colored consular-class that regularly beats down destroyers...
(Our Mandalore-sector YIM campaign features the Red Queen, a modified Consular-class that has got a couple ISD kills painted on the side.)

Give everyone TIE Fighters that have been modified to have life support, shielding, hyperdrives, and warheads.
TIE Fighter: Pimp Squadron.
As much as it probably wouldn't work out, it'd be kinda neat to have a comical RP. Maybe a schizophrenic character that's actually describing reality. " Sometimes, it just feels like my thoughts and words are scripted, like someone's controlling my every action. Also, I have these dreams of big yellow messages in space... "
