Remember, you only get 1 Origin skill, and 3 skills from across both starting careers. And your starting careers do no affect what skills you later get.<br/>For example : Diane picked up Weightless from Galactic, Navigator and Unique Vehicle from Starfarer, and Unique weapon from Military.<br/><br/>EDIT: So, mostly, I suggest picking the options that fit your image of the character, and then picking skills from that, unless there's something you especially want (like advanced repair or surgery, or a pet AI, or a high Class piece of equipment.)<br/><br/>EDIT EDIT : Also, PBP is slow. Advancement might be slow. Try to focus on a character you want to be *now*.
