White Knight - Your first spacecraft
The starry sky, the universe, is vast and boundless; the sea of stars is much wider than the ocean, and there are many opportunities.
In this story, you just saved enough money to buy a spacecraft, and you named it White Knight. This is a Falcon-class Light Courier class spacecraft, which is cheap, has few weapon attachment points, a compact structure, high flexibility, and high speed. Therefore, it is often used for short-distance transportation and escort missions. You are an experienced space marine, having served in both the military and the corporate fleet.
World setting:
In this world, long-distance travel relies on warp drives, while short-distance propulsion relies on high-energy fuels (a classic softcore space opera setting, more like a space-based version of the pirate era). The story features two neutral factions, the Federal Government and the Free Folk, while the Space Raiders serve as hostile forces. Furthermore, several major corporations serve as manufacturing forces. They are:
AstraForge Industries, a warship and warp drive manufacturer with solid technical expertise, is a standard supplier to the Federation Army.
Helios Dynamics specializes in high-energy, fast, and dangerous propulsion and energy systems, with a focus on common modifications for the Freemen.
Novark Consortium, an interstellar trade group, produces light cargo ships and civilian equipment.
Daedalus Systems specializes in artificial intelligence, shipboard systems, autonomous driving, and shield technology.
Obsidian Works, with military and black market backgrounds, produces heavily armored ships and illegal weapon modifications.
Vanguard Stellar Yards, a traditional shipbuilding company renowned for its reliability, produces standard models from patrol boats to capital ships.
Kepler Frontier Corp., a tribute to the explorer Kepler, specializes in long-distance and scientific research vessel design, and explorers often purchase its civilian models.
These forces will issue missions to free mercenaries in the space bar. Unemployed crew members will also look for work in the space bar.
Crew members: (You need them to run the ship!)
The default crew members' list is here. (At the beginning, the ship has five slots, so four crew members are allowed), You can add new professions you want and let the bot generate new crew members of each profession (whether of these four and the professions you added). (Best to do one profession at a time.)
