How to make a character that turns into a spaceship?

[Ragdoll]

Specifically, was curious if other characters could ride inside a character that transforms into a space ship and flies off with them inside? Would Shapeship: space ship and levels of growth be sufficient?

Assuming your GM and the other players don't object, you could do it as Multiform into an AI/Vehicle combination (with Life Support, Flight, FTL, etc.).

Lots of Usable Simultaneously powers can do the trick too...

not really. That would allow all of your 'passengers' to fly off in different directions, not the one you are going...

Appropriate limitations are required

 

In fact, I think there is an example of this power in the Ultimate Metamorph for shape shifters that can turn themselves into functional jets.

 

But mainly I was thinking about things like Life Support, since the character can fly the rest of the team just by virtue of being big enough for them to ride on.. er... in.

you can also do this with multiform.

Build the vehicle then use that as the active cost for the multiform.

Yep, I go with Multiform with a vehicle being the multiform.

And Com. If you're going to turn into a spaceship may as well be a COOL looking spaceship.

Oh yes, 'Coolness' is a must.

That would be PRE. COM would make you an attractive spaceship. Not quite the same thing.

Re: How to make a character that turns into a spaceship?

 

Pre would be an imposing, intimidating spaceship that doesn't necessarily mean "cool" looking. Com would mean the vehicle is aesthetically pleasing, IMO.

[Kenn]

Re: How to make a character that turns into a spaceship?

 

To me a cool looking spaceship is impressive looking. To you cool looking spaceships are aesthetically pleasing.

 

"Cool" means different things to different people.

 

To me, the Millenium Falcon was cool looking, even though aestheically it was, as Luke put it "what a piece of junk."

[nexus]

Re: How to make a character that turns into a spaceship?

 

But both attributes do have their degree of subjectivity and I didn't the ship having Pre was "wrong" but that Comeliness would make it cool looking, IMO.

 

As a side note, I wouldn't have the Falcon much Presence or Comeliness either though it might have a Reputation (which failed with Luke obviously) it's not that impressive or intimidating in the setting (it's a standard freighter type but heavily modified under the hood the hood so to speak) but has a history and of course, as the viewers we know who owns it and what it can do.

This debate has proven one thing to me: we must get rid of COM in future editions!
