If those minor differences do end up seriously imbalancing the game, then I think you've got bigger problems. At the end of the day, this is supposed to be a narrative game where the GM and the players collaborate to try to have the Most Fun creating the Most Awesomest Story, and you shouldn't be getting bogged down in minor details like this. But that's just IMO, and YMMV. | |

I've seen that in action as a player myself and there is almost nothing I hated more. Thus as a gm I tend to avoid that (which is the reason I only give npcs things that pcs also could have regardless of system played) | |

| Apr 23, 2015 at 5:14 | comment | added | Thomas E. | The problem with that approach is. Players tend to try to salvage things and if its better than their playtools they will just take it for themselves. so it would always become a pc ship if they are playing their chars intelligent | |
