Esther:
It's just a different way of thinking. I'm used to having info upfront by the GM. In this case I would know the places I've been to on the ship and would be able to decide myself to use any of that info in play. Like maybe places to get stuff like guns or food or sleep.
It makes it easier to keep things going whenever you are not around.
But I'm sure this way works fine to, it will just take me a while to adjust.   

I have faith in you as a GM. I'm just feeling a little like a fish out of the water. But I'll be a shark at this soon enough, hehehe

The problem isn't not being able to get information, it's the speed with which the info comes: you have too much time to think and wonder compared to face-to-face RPG, where every question gets asked and answered as it comes up. It's not something that makes the game unplayable, but like Esther says, you'll have to think differently - especially if you've been playing together for about 10 years as she and I have.

She'll manage sooner than any of us will be comfortable with, though.

Klear:
On the other hand, I like how the slow pace gives us a lot of time to think about what to say. It makes playing a talkie character that much easier. It can sometimes prevent the "I should have said that!" feeling.

LuckyDee:
Hah, for me it's the other way around: I think of something to say and then realize that I'm using way too many words, am trying too hard to be funny, am too helpful, too friendly, too charming.

After 3 or 4 attempts, something concise and neutral enough usually comes up :)

HexaDoken:
*conversation breaker*
I came up with a list what I want to buy as well.

* Combat Shotgun, +150. Because having to spend 2 full turns reloading after each second shot is seriously no fun. Must find that shotgun first altho.
* Sell my current shotgun. If I'll find a nice merchant that will pay me the full price of this thing that will give me 50 thrones, but I perfectly know that most probably I'll be able to sell it for like 10.
* Frag Grenade x5, +50. Just in case.
* Shotgun Shells x100, +5.
* Laspistol charge pack, +10.
* Lasgun charge pack x3, +45.
* Recoil Gloves, +40. I'm still thinking on that - they sound fun and badass, but I'll probably resist them in case they are not really useful.
* A dose of stimm, +20. Doomers like stims.
That totals at 320 thrones, and leaves me at 90+whatever I'll get from selling my shotgun. Also, Klear, I might consider buying a micro-bead, but since I wouldn't really consider that normally, my character will not buy it unless you will suggest him to do so in IC.
