TormakSaber, These original, but 'familiar' missions are outstanding. They are marvelous in concept, planning, and execution. As the Encounter Maker gains features, I'm sure that you'll be able to realize your vision more and more. I have a favor to ask: would you please edit the first post to alway...

Please post any tips you'd like to add to help new encounter makers (we're all new for the moment) or improve the overall level of encounte...

This is useful in so many ways. I've considered doing this, but have been concerned of immediate obsolesance. If you post the ships in .shp and . SM3 , others can assist in adding doodads, and making variants. If you post individually at first, people can really examine each ship in detail, correcti...

I vote for option #1 (disclosure: I suggested something to this effect - my vote is already in, but it would would tie so many things together)

For the character name I suggest something light and friendly like:
Roland "Rat Bastard" Benavides.
