For all players:

You all get a half-ton of Cargo space for trading off world. The captain has already put together large banks of embroyos and other technical information, so I expect to see physical items. For the first time you're just guessing what's going to be rarer over there than over here. Starting wealth is 100,000$ (TL10 *2). I expect a big chunk of it to be for trading: money from home drastically reduces value outside of the system, at least until trade routes are established. Don't fuss too much. Just specify one to four ways your wealth is stored (gold, pure silicon wafers, raw titanium, diamonds, automated carpet cleaners, High quality guns, a form of wood unique to the planet, antiques from earth, ect.)

  Following you around is fine, and having it translate is fine. Both are tacky. Usually you use a datapad.

• some R2 style hacking tricks

  It can have some REALLY simple ones. Ones any hacker will have on their datapad, and it can be programmed to take advantage of hardware access.

• Electronic lockpicks

  Sure.

• secret cargo space

  Just don't be surprised when people aren't surprised. You're carrying a tool box around, so its not that big a surprise when you pull a gun out of it.

• built in tool kit

  Useful and valid.

• ability to maintain my cybernetics

  Useful and valid.

• that sort of thing...

  Tool box drone specialized to maintain your prosthetics with some illegal anti-security stuff attached. Thats fine.
