A note on my equipment list: I assumed that my character would be issued a gun as part of his job but I charged the credits against my 1000 CR starting money though someone in a police force having a fully automatic pistol is perhaps overkill but we are talking about a planet colonized in some other spiral galaxy and not Earth here so maybe they consider a fully automatic pistol appropriate. However if for the sake of the story the referee would like to downgrade that fully auto pistol to semi and count said semi auto pistol as issue without charging my starting credits that would be cool with me too.

I think that a new house rule in general for PBP games should be that a starting character can have a free entry level pistol as described in SFman #1 or the needler pistol if they 1.) have no other ranged weapon and 2.) can justify having it in their background though it has to be more justification than "My father gave it to me"

I tend to to cover that by giving extra starting cash so you can buy something if you want it. I did give a weapon or a toolkit for free based on your main skill. But it is definitely something to consider.

Yeah I went with a tool kit for cost. Funny how cheap a hand uzi is in the frontier.
