I prefered the standard giant Rogue Trader ship setup as far as it went, something cavernous you can get slightly lost in and or load up with pillage. The excessive, gothic architecture style scale the imperium builds on and all.<br/><br/>It's not make or break, to be sure, I just like the sense of that.<br/><br/>Besides, as far as it goes, redshirt minions are lowly enough in capacity compared to anyone with a name in 40k that they're seriously not any kind of character insulation at all as far as anything legitimately threatening or problematic. Anything on the scale of, say, a lone space marine can cleave through 100 dudes. Most people worth anything in setting have to do a lot of what they do from the front of the problem, and just be supplemented as best they can.<br/><br/>That and just as matter of course, probably will need to be some npcs to fill out positions that don't have a character made for them.<br/><br/>It's not so much the Starship Enterprise as you are in a giant, spaceborn creepy ass baroque fortress, and you cleave much more tightly to the people you regularly see in your flying Gormenghast for it.
