Heh... that's the el-cheapo way of getting a present... giving hand me downs!<br/><br/>On the subject of the poor quality ship's guns, while "upgrading" the guns could mean acquisition tests, is it possible to make "Tech Use" tests to simply improve them the way Thraxius improved his Autopistol?  Or at least to negate the "poor quality" negatives for the course of a battle?<br/><br/>Oh!  And I have no idea how many shuttles the Everest can handle... it has a Cargo and Lighter bay, so it certainly can hold some... but how many, I don't know... nor how many navigators and astropaths may have survived to continue as crew on-board.  The Commander did say all essential components would be there, save weapons, so I'd assume at least one Navigator and one Astropath minimum.  After all, a ship without either would hardly be considered complete.
