The Kobras Aquiarre has a +30 detection, the Alexander has a +36, and the Everest has a comparatively pitiful +15.<br/><br/>All three ships will likely need sensor checks, but I'd wager both the Kobras and the Alex will need them the most, being our primary scouts on this mission.<br/><br/>Sarah has a 50 in her Scrutiny for the Alexander (giving the Alexander a +86)... Jason's sensor tech also has a 50 (giving the Everest a +65 total)<br/><br/>Which leaves the Kobras Aquiarre without anyone with as good sensor skills except Arkhah.  He might as well stay there.  His greater skill with give the Aquiarre a more even check compared to the Alexander, anyway.  With Arkhah on the Kobras Aquiarre's sensors, however, that ship will get a +90... with a bonus degree of success... they won't be missing much.  Putting him on the Alexander would give him a +96... but I don't know if they really need one that high, and it would leave the Kobras Aquiarre without anyone with a good scrutiny skill.<br/><br/>Other useful skills to have on board each ship would be Tech Use... (Sarah covers that again for the Alex, Jason covers it nicely for the Everest, and Thraxius can handle Tech use checks for the Kobras Aquiarre...)<br/><br/>Command is needed, of course... again, Sarah can handle command checks for the Alexander, and Jason for the Everest... and with Cortez on board, the Kobras Aquiarre is never likely to fail one...<br/><br/>Medicae is also useful for reducing casualties.... I'd wager that the Everest will take the biggest pounding... but who knows?  Sister Erica can cover triage on the Everest, being a Sister Hospitalier, she has Medicae, Thraxius can cover the Kobras Aquiarre there as well... but I believe Sarah on the Alexander will have to default to a crappy NPC medic... still, that'll give her a 40, so that far from terrible.<br/><br/>We pretty much have all the different types of tests covered on each ship with people staying put... so unless we want to give one ship a serious advantage over the others, we might want to simply stay where we are.
