Star Command - Fleet Careers (V9) (alpha)

Introducing Attributes

The next step toward truly individual officers

16 individual attributes • 4 categories • Species-based profiles

Star Command – Fleet Careers is beginning the next major step toward a deeper RPG-style officer system.

The new Attributes system introduces individual character values behind the existing X4 skill stars.

Two officers with the same Pilot or Morale rating will no longer necessarily feel identical. Each career officer can now have individual strengths and weaknesses that exist independently from the visible X4 star ratings.

16 Individual Attributes

Four categories describe the fundamental capabilities of every career officer.

PHYSICAL

• []Perception[/]

  []Reaction[/]

  []Coordination[/]

  []Spatial Orientation[/]

  MENTAL

  • []Stress Resistance[/]

    []Self-Control[/]

    []Determination[/]

    []Discipline[/]

    COGNITIVE / STRATEGIC

    • []Comprehension[/]

      []Anticipation[/]

      []Decision-Making[/]

      []Tactical Understanding[/]

      LEADERSHIP / SOCIAL

      • []Leadership[/]

        []Communication[/]

        []Authority[/]

        []Teamwork[/]

        Individual Officers – Not Just Random Numbers

        Attributes use a scale from 1 to 100.

        When an NPC begins a military career in Star Command, an individual attribute profile is created and becomes a permanent part of that officer's career record.

        The starting profile is influenced by the officer's species, while substantial individual variation ensures that members of the same species can still differ significantly from one another.

        For example, Split officers tend toward stronger Reaction, Coordination, Determination and Authority, while Terran officers are generally more structured in areas such as Discipline, Decision-Making and Tactical Understanding.

        These are tendencies – not hard limits.

        An exceptional individual can always differ significantly from the typical profile of their species.

        Species profiles already prepared

        Terran • Argon • Split • Boron • Teladi • Paranid

        The currently implemented Star Command military careers make the new values directly visible for Terran, Argon and Split officers.

        Current Implementation

        The first version of the system is already integrated into the Career Logbook:

        • []16 persistent attributes per career officer[/]

          []Species-based starting profiles[/]

          []Individual randomized variation[/]

          []Values generated when the military career begins[/]

          []Permanent storage in the officer's career record[/]

          []Dedicated Attributes section in the Personal Profile[/]

          []Full integration into all languages currently supported by Star Command[/]

          At this stage, Attributes are descriptive only.

          They do not yet provide bonuses or directly modify X4 behaviour.
