[HG 2e] Sensor stations and crew salary

[h1ro]

2e High Guard introduces sensor stations on page 39.

Page 20/21 makes no mention of these crew positions so I'm left pondering what to pay the poor buggers?

Surely they should do it for love?

The bolshy ones are gonna want to be paid tho. Bloody unions.

I'm thinking Cr4000 a month.

Anyone else added a house rule for sensor operators?

BTW, adding sensor stations on military ships makes for a good Fire Control Centre, separate from the bridge.

 

[Condottiere]

Two thousand CrImps, same as the gunner(s)

 

[h1ro]

Wow, you're fiscally restrictive!

 

[AnotherDilbert]

I use Cr 3000 / month. Less than an Engineer, more than a Gunner.

 

[Condottiere]

Interns.

Board and lodging.

 

[h1ro]

Hmm, I can see a pretty good argument that rookie sensor operators = blind ship tho I guess they'll all have level of certification, or were you really thinking Electronics 0?

 

[Condottiere]

I was under the impression that skill was added to the final paycheck.

Player characters, however, have to negotiate.

Kinda, there's a base salary on page 20 of HG and then a bonus which is 50% for every level of skill over 1, a pilot level 1 gets Cr6000, level 2 would get Cr9,000 etc.

If I've a crew of PCs on someone else's ship they get the suggested salary. They get to be creative in other ways to make their "little bit on the side". If they're on their own ship then they get to choose what they pay themselves from whatever they make.

The captain may bargain with cargo space, especially if he knows the holds won't be full.
