Hi all, i've finally had time to get to a computer! :sun

[@Ozymandias] Ok that's good to know we haven't left dry dock yet. My idea is that im a scientist who has himself a tiny ass shuttle. That was able to get himself to the moon. He is essentially also after the same knowledge you guys are after and may try to join the ship. Also he has an AI sidekick. Just checking this idea with you to see if it's okay.

Heya, welcome. Tiny shuttles are permissible as most of the basic technology is pretty widely available. FTL capable high end luxury craft will obviously be a lot more hard to come by but generic transport vessels are like cars of our age. Of course to move FTL in a tiny craft like that, you'll probably have to book passage aboard a large vessel.

AIs however will be a little bit harder to explain. They are generally not available to the average consumer and are limited to large companies/organisations and governments. This is because of a combination of intentional bottle necking of the technology and the vast expense involved in their upkeep. Its not impossible that your character would be travelling with one but it'll need some thought.
