From that the cap'n can chose the trip with the best possible combination of launch date, arrival date, and delta V cost.

When the destination is ordered, the astrogator will draw a pork-chop plot for the cap'n. Once en route, the astrogator keeps a sharp eye to make sure the blasted ship stays on course, giving the pilot mid-course corrections if need be. Astrogator The captain tells the astrogator where the ship has to go, the astrogator's job is to figure out how. The first officer's job is things inside the ship, mostly crackin' the whip to make sure the crew does their jobs.īut the first officer also has to draft the " watchbill", make sure the blasted ship is adequately stocked with life support and other supplies so you don't all suffocate or starve to death, keep an eyeball on those lazy engineers to make sure they are keeping up with maintenance and repairs, ensure that the vacuum moonshine 'still on Z deck (that you officially don't know about) is making just enough space booze to stave off boredom but not enough to endanger the ship, and otherwise keep up the beatings until the morale improves. Such as "fly to Deimos and load a cargo of water-ice" or "fly to Mars and drop bombs on those accurséd Arean Independence Revolutionaries." First Officer The captain's right-hand person. The captain's job is things outside of the ship, mostly where the ship is going and whatsit gonna do when it gets there. If the skipper of a Cosmi-Hauler Incorporated cargo ship fails to deliver the cargo on time the corporation will fire the captain's sorry behind.

What kinda jobs are we lookin' at here? Well: Captain They are the absolute ruler of the spacecraft, their word is law.īut don't get the wrong idea, captains often have a boss as well. There are lots of critical jobs (or "hats") on a spacecraft, the more hats a given crewperson wears the lower will be their job performance. If your ship is bigger than a space taxi you gotta have more than one crewperson. Alright, space cadets! This is the way it is.
