I definitely had to use the Favors system (& all the other social mechanics), along with making spirits strange and weird, to make it a viable part of the discipline. Relationships should be cultivated, and more powerful Named spirits can promise services from their underlings as a Favor. Also, in m...

I don't mean to be a tease, but we do have most of this sketched out... needing a final mechanics and edit cut pass. Ships can become Derelict by damage or by falling under a certain # of 'able crew' (with officers/high circle characters counting double, and anyone without the required rank counting...
