Folks, copiloting just requires DC 10 Pilot checks to aid another, with NO penalty for failure. A venerable Ithorian with Dex 1 would be better than no help at all. Just because you aren't trained in something doesn't mean you're hopeless.

The hiss and whirr of the entry ramp immediately ceases as the ramp closes to make the seal inside the ship. The cargo bay is currently empty and as you are heading forward towards the births you feel the ship shudder as her ancient Ion engines kick into life. A minute later the ship begins to rise on its repulsor lifts and people not in a seat have to scramble for a hand hold to keep stable.
(To Teal)
For the moment your internal stabilizers prevent you from bobbing around too much.
(To Sanka)
You engange the drive system and she begins to rise, it is such a wonderful feeling. To know that this is yours. Freedom, you ease her out nice and slowly for her maiden voyage under your command. Edging her out of port. The sun cresting over the Corusant sky line, an amazing sight filled with colour. She feels sluggish under your control but to you thats just her character. An amazing feeling, such joy, such happiness such..............SPEEDER!
A civilian speed has broken the traffic que and decided to make a break for the next lane. Make a DC 15 pilot check.

There is a violent shudder through the ship as Sanka is forced into a sharp turn. There are a series of bangs and crashes in the back of the ship as varoius items become un-lodged from their previous resting places, and loud cursing coming from the cockpit.
All players must make a DC 10 Acrobatics to avoid injury, Teal is exempt as he is hovering above the floor.
"Bottoms-Up, remain on your designated flight corridor!", a very stern traffic controller is monitoring you deviations from the flight plan. The Bottoms-Up is now facing away from the flight corridor and heading back to the spaceport.
(To Sanka)
You could take the freighter in a wide turn losing your place in the cue or attempt a barrel roll to get her back on track (DC 10). Piloting is taking all of your concentration so someone else will have to speak for the ship.

The sudden movement of the ship catches everyone off gaurd but most people manange to grab a hold of something and brace themselves. Barran, grabs onto what seems to be a solid support bar but it comes away in his hand. He lands heavily with his right knee slamming into the bulkhead.
Barran - 1d4 damage = 1. A light bruise, nothing more.
(To Sanka)
Your determined not to have your maiden flight fall behind schedule because of a joker in a speeder. You power up the Ion engines and bring the Bottoms-Up into a steep climb aiming for a half barrel roll. She groans in protest much like her passengers who are being tossed everywhere in the back, and you see a red light indicator that a stall is imminent. You air on the side of caution and yaw out into a long wide bank. Unfortunately this means you have missed you place in the que and have to fall in line at the back. All the while with traffic control blaring in your comm station! It looks like your passengers will have to get fairly comfortable for the time being.

Login to Send PMYou said the check was only for characters who had not taken a seat, I actually posted that Barran had taken a seat, and unless I am mistaken was the only one who made specific mention of doing so.

Login to Send PMHe's got a point, the only one besides Teal who hasn't taken a seat is Rawrdacca. He was busy securing Teal's crate in the cargo bay. Sanko strapped himself in and Harrk would have taken copilot's chair in order to aid another.
Barran specifically said in the last post of page 2: "I don't know anything about starships." Barran says as he looks for a seat.
There are 4 seats in the cockpit so he could've picked either one of the ones in back. With Teal still floating around that leaves Rawrdacca as the only one who hasn't taken a seat. Though, I never did get in answer in regards as to whether or not I could catch someone taking a tumble in the cockpit since I made my check. Granted, it's only 1 point of damage, but it's important to know that the only one who should take that damage is my character.

Login to Send PMRawrdacca calls out to Teal,"It wasn't your fault, some moron cut us off. I would appreciate it if you would help me though. With the way we got rocked around there's bound to be a large amount of things loose now. I would appreciate your assistance in getting things picked up and resecured. That, and we should check your medical supplies and see if they're okay."
Rawrdacca heads towards the cargo bay where he secured the crate, picking up any loose items that may have been thrown around.

Harkk opens himself to the magic around him feeling the enormity of the planet.

A wave of depression floods over the ship. The Barloz class was never designed with luxury in mind, nor was it designed with entertaining a Wookie, Felucian, Nautolan, Togrutan and a top of the line Med droid for 18 hours. You curse your luck or the force if you believe in it!
Before you can settle into the next 18 hours of boredom and who was responsible for what, the speeder that cut your flight path is coming about and on approach to the freighter. It approaches slowly (as the Bottoms-Up is nearly static) and comes into view in the forward view port. The open top speeder has one pilot inside and seems to have something in his hand... it looks like a ticket.
(To Harkk)
You open yourself to the force and feel billions upon billions of feelings/voices/emotions, it is quite overwhelming. You find it hard to believe that force sensitives can find peace here.
