Do you also allow any template to start with a ship that normally doesn't with the commensurate debt?

If it makes sense with respect to the particular PC's background, yes. The RAW templates are examples, not the limit of all character possibilities. That's the way D6 Space does it except it codifies it in game mechanics by owning a ship being an advantage and having a debt being a disadvantage. I don't go that far but it's the same general idea as the original Smuggler template.

I think as long as your game is balanced, it shouldn't be a problem, as another person commented, your Bounty Hunter will probably be throwing out more CPs in combat. But... As everyone's life depends on that ship staying together I can see (and have seen) how that can be a problem.

I allow any co-pilot (in a ship that allows for one) to use their CPs too, and of course gunners etc for their attacks. Perhaps you could also work out some system where others can make a command or tactics roll to assist and use their CP's... Gives those thin skills more scope too.

I've also often seen DM's allow Co-pilots to chip in CP's when the pilot's making the roll..

It may be worth quoting the following:

Quote:
Multiple Skill Use
As in regular combat, each player must say exactly what
non-reaction skills his character is using at the beginning
of the combat round; the usual die code reductions for
multiple skill use apply (see page 12).

A pilot may use his piloting skill to affect the speed roll,
and may evade any number of times. He can also use his
gunnery skill to fire one weapon. In addition, he may
operate the shields. Each of these is a separate action, and
affects his die codes accordingly. When a pilot evades, he
uses piloting as a reaction skill (see page 12).

Example: A pilot’s skill is 3D. He uses it to affect the
speed roll, and to evade twice. When he makes his speed
roll, he does not yet know that he will evade, so he rolls
3D. When he evades the first time, he rolls 2D; and the
last time, 1D.

If the ship has room for at least two crew, one character
may act as copilot. The copilot can use his piloting skill
to affect the speed roll and to evade, just like the pilot.

However, they can't both affect the speed roll. If they both
evade, each is a separate skill use. A copilot can also fire
one weapon system, using his gunnery skill, or operate
the shields, using his shield skill.

Example: The pilot uses his skill of 3D to affect the
speed roll, and also fires a weapon; he'll roll 2D for piloting.
The copilot uses his skill of 2D to evade once. If the pilot
were doing all three things himself, he’d only roll 1D for
the evasion.

—Star Wars Roleplaying Game 1E, page 62.

The Pilot ended up saving everybody but also spending most of his CPs, and the player mentioned it. "Why do I always have to save the ship while everybody else rides?"


Depending on how you GM, you may also rule that since the pilot did all that work, he gets a ton of XP (or CP) back at the end of the session or adventure.
