You could get a Flak Jacket, you wouldn't need to Purchase test for that, though a Bodysuit you would.<br/><br/>Depends if you want to drop your Wealth some, it does regenerate as you do Missions. You could get a Bandit and Flak Jacket, make no purchase tests and have your Personal Wealth drop to 1 with an additional Impact of 1 on it. A Holdout would put you also on Wealth 1 on the dot, let me know what you'd prefer. :)<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Oh, now you mention about electronics and communication stuff...<br/><br/><em>You'll all be equipped with a comm wristband.</em><br/>Each comes equipped with an Aide, which stores info the character may find useful and downloads various newsfeeds or whatever things the character is interested as it comes up, reminding the character when specific events marked on their calender come up etc. The comm is a vid-phone and also acts as a computer. Think of it like an iWatch with vidchat and you're golden. It's the future, it makes sense that you all should stay in touch and communication technology is ubiquitous<em>today</em>.<br/><br/>There is a Mesh style internet that connects the system for the most part and really the only limit on messaging is that it can't go faster than lightspeed.

Network access to each planet is generally settled when the crew is docking.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Pianoman;<br/><br/>Iridium is correct.<br/>The homeworld skills are basically Level 1 skills. If you spend two points to get it to Level 3, then you pay the two points to get it to Level 4.<br/><br/>Saying that, I forgot about the whole 2pts from 3 to 4, I'll need to retotal Dan's skills somewhat again, I think. EDIT = Checked and Dan was good! Haha! I had a panic for a second there! xD
