I was thinking maybe there could be some overarching 'plot' on the ship itself? People being friends or enemies or lovers or something, enjoying time between missions

I'm very glad you mentioned this, honestly. I've been thinking the same thing. Most of y'all know by now that I'm largely planning episodic, away team missions. But for the sake of not limiting everyone to what the mission of today is, I also want to work in some kind of "free time" where you can just do whatever you want.

The work-in-progress idea is just to give time in between the adventures. So, after we beat down these pirates, I'll probably wait a few days before continuing on through the wormhole. During that little break, everyone can post about spending time on the ship, talking with other characters, forming romances, having deadly blood feuds, etc. Then we continue on with the next adventure. Rinse, wash and repeat.

I'm also trying to give some variety in the missions we'll be taking on. This one is very action-y, to grab everyone's attention. But the next will be more about diplomacy and/or exploration. This one is obviously great for our combat and engineering themed characters, so the next one will be intentionally more about encountering new cultures and not just fighting them :lol
