Fields

Fields represent the professional focus of each Settler. Those who seek extensive knowledge of medical advancements may pursue such fields as Surgeon or Medic. More martial settlers may fall under such fields as Colonial Marine or Warden. There is a wide variety of fields in which to study under.

Starting out, each settler gets one Field. Once a settler has moved into their new colony, they may begin to pursue a second Field. The process in which to achieve this is simple enough. By learning tier 1 and tier 2 skills specific to that profession at an out of list cost (tier 1=4, tier 2=8) at an accumulative rate of at least 20 points, this shows you have done significant enough study within that field to be officially listed within the Alliance Database as having a secondary field. Example: Sgt. John Smith is a Colonial Marine. He wishes to pursue study in the field of Engineer. To achieve this, he takes the following skills at an Out of List cost: Appraise (4), Lift (4), Mining (4), Mathematics (4), and Higher Education (8). These skills equal to 22 points, exceeding the minimum to learn the new field. Once this has been achieved, make note on your Resume (character sheet) and e-mail your Planetary Director, requesting an audit and what field you are requesting for your secondary (To be done during down time). By the next Shipment Drop (Game weekend), your new Field should be ready and waiting for you.
