thats not canon.
What rule set are you going by?Personally, I like taking the role of the ship pilot. Do nothin' but role dice for flying, and everyone depends on you to stay alive.Plus, if the GM lets you, you can go do some shit to earn credits while the group is off dicking around.
The greatest failing of my life is that I don't have enough friends to play DnD.Or any friends at all for that matter.
