I'm going to be the odd man out and decline any postings to the Roulette. Most of my playtime is going to be at the helm of the Hypatia, seeing just how "long range" the retaliator can really be. I wouldn't be averse to agent smithing an NPC in an emergency, but I think most of TEST would be willing to do that, provided there are NPC slots to pop into.
This raises the question, what is your expected standard operating complement going to be, Russian? Are you going to only take her out if you have enough people online who are willing to fly to you, or will you staff her with NPC bodies to let people warp in? Ease of access for members is going to be key, and unfortunately the logout mechanics (i.e. do you stay on the ship when you log off, and what does that mean if the captain hired on another hand when you did so?) and NPC stuff is all little more than speculation at the moment.

XO is shorthand for executive officer. Usually second in command on a ship.What exactly is an XO? Sounds like a hug that goes on too long...
