I'd love to throw my lot in! Need to catch up on all of the material, but I was thinking of being a dirophyd programmer.

Glad to hear that there might be a fellow Dirophyd! If you have any questions about anything involving them don't hesitate to PM me. Kinda curious as to what you mean by a programmer as that's a pretty broad term.

Gentlebeast I reaaally hate to dissuade you from something you want to do but the hacking and piloting specialisations were something I picked for my character because no one else was doing it. Do you think you might be able to pick another specialisation? I'm happy to help with character development if you like and I approve of your race choice. Awesome new race. Again my apologies for my request.

Being a programmer doesn't really make one a hacker, could be a drone operator or something of the sort. Also, it wouldn't hurt to have multiple hackers anyway to work together on more complicated locks and such. (we could also probably use a combat systems officer on ships anyway. Bit could do it, but it always helps to have someone more proficient at it)
