Star Traders 2 - Character Generation

The Trese Brothers Games latest update for Star Traders 2 has new information on how character generation works, and mentions a new profession competition.

Character Generation + Profession Competition

Dear Captains, Backers and Fans,

This afternoon, we want to share the details of exactly how you will create your new Captains for Star Traders 2 RPG. Also, we are kicking off the second friendly competition - this time to find the most loved Profession! There are rewards at stake for Star Traders RPG, so don’t miss your chance to vote.

Creating Your Captain

Your Captains, and their adventures, are the heart and soul of the Star Traders saga. Star Traders 2 will offer you fine grained control over your new Captain -  from picking your profession to customizing your skills and talents, designing your ship, and building out your personality with character traits and flaws. 

We wanted to build a character creation system that was fun, easy and quick but also offered you total control over every aspect of your Captain, if you want it. If you want to play immediately, you can select one of the pre-made archetypes and go! These archetypes will represent typical character builds such as Syndicate Merchant, Clan Pirate or Independent Bounty Hunter and will follow all of the normal character creation rules to create a unique character when you pick them.

Creating a new Captain from scratch is where the excitement and balancing act really takes off. During Captain creation, you will use priority weighting to help you answer the question: What does my Captain excel at, and why? In identifying the areas in which you excel, you will in turn establish the areas where you are mediocre or weak.
