And with my military background I am ultimately the most qualified for the job. We go with the Kerbite layout, mudmuppet

 +So a bot would definitely be useful but preferably used for simple things. 
 +Actually that should be engineering 2 for things like reconfiguring cannons TN8 so 6+ on the dice. The toolkit adds for upgrades, repairs, installation in cargo bay and putting out fires.
  
 +[Tktkah] Also, I'm not an all rounder, Combat 4 Science 4 in the last mission, which meant my combat was at least equal highest in the group ([[tracker:character:flippynips|FlippyNips]] shows Combat 3 at last missions Rank 4 but that might have gone up to 4 for the last mission). My character tracker [[tracker:character:tktkah|Tktkah]] is up to date if you need it.

 +[Toowheet-Twoo] Yes the bot would need to be upgraded, it would be able to fire off a missile and reconfigure cannons and handle closer cannon shots. It's not a great success rate about 70% after the first upgrade depending where you start, improved by further upgrades, but it's better than those modules sitting there unused while power is going unpumped. \\ You could just say your combat is at 4 and you're planning to use the cannon instead of having me type out an explanation that you already understood, just so you could get upset that I clearly haven’t studied your stats. You need to say what you're planning and not expect mind reading. I was working on the basis that we had two scientists, if you're not really sciencing much and therefore would fully utilise the cannon then the bot would probably be better spent elsewhere. I did not mean to threaten your job with automation. ;-) \\ I've already tried to bow out of this bizarrely hostile conversation it doesn't make any substantive difference. However, you asked a specific question about how much power I generate, I shouldn't have added the bit about needing a bot to spend power rather than generate it, but if you're working to design the ship you should at least know what side of the ledger to be working on.
 +
 +[Tktkah] The conversation isn't meant to be hostile. However I've commented that I would be on a cannon and kept getting ignored so it was a bit irritating. From above: \\ 
 +"Also I'm not going to be in science so will be likely to be on one of the cannons" \\ 
 +"I'll be teleporter (its a gun [[tracker:character:Toowheet-Twoo]], not relatively expendable) and one cannon" \\ 
 +
 +I gave up on trying to actually design a ship a while ago and was accepting that you had a design that you wanted and that we were going with that. I was trying to understand how it would work and where I was going to fit in as all the positions seemed filled and there wasn't actually anything for me to do. It had felt that you were writing me out of the game.
 +
 +[Flippy Nips] We obviously need a commander and as I am the most qualified, we go with the Kerbite ship, and replace one life support with a cannon - AND we take the mission to kill ourselves without shame.
