Doulos05 states his desire to play:

Officer - Captain/Pilot(?) [or do you want to be a purely Administrative Captain, possibly also filling the Sensors/Communication Officer role?] [I think it could be a source of some good dramtic tension if the Captain is not the pilot. The pilot may be wanting to go where he wants, but the Captain will probably want him on a pretty short leash.]

Petty Officer - Steward-Purser/Cargo Master

Now, on another note, missiles and sandcasters can be fired from controls on the bridge, can't they? So we don't necessarily need a gunner after all. Seems like missile- and sandcaster-fire might also fall to the Sensor Operator. Or maybe I'm wrong?

And just who is going to be the computer expert on the crew, anyway? Maybe we need more than one?
