We are attempting to craft an entirely new setting that is not meant to be similar to the current atmosphere and whatnot.

Does this refer to a reboot of the aurora setting? How much will be reset, and how much will be an in-character transition?

No. He means changing from a nt dominated station to a scc ship.

I think it would really limit the kind of character you can make in the medical department if Zeng-Hu and EPMC were the only available options.
The wiki says "common Eridanians avoid even slightly falling out of the norm, being lawful as well as visually and verbally inoffensive" for fear of being fired  and "one screw-up is enough to get [Zeng-Hu employees] fired", so every medical character would need to be a goody-two-shoes who's polite to everyone all the time and has no workplace incidents and no criminal history, otherwise they would've gotten fired.

Why would a doctor have a criminal history and expect to be hired to begin with?

Yeah, you're right, I don't know why I included that part. Besides that, I still think medical characters not being allowed any mistakes or incidents in their history or records at all would be too limiting.

It's a lot more lax than you'd expect. Just act reasonable and don't explicitly break regulations, and you'll do fine (with Zeng-Hu at least).

Update:

There will be updates to Private Military Contractors, as well as Cargo. We will release the details when the time is right.

I just understood the real reason they were making Cargo Heph-only at first.

To clear out all the disrespectful cargo goblins and other degenerates. Make Cargo a respectful and hard-working department.

[TrainTN]

I agree with the suggestions of including Nanotrasen in Cargo. Yes, this would tip the balance towards NT, but I feel it would be minor enough that it would prove ultimately unimportant and non-harmful to the purpose of the NBT, and that players' creative freedom should be more of a priority. Plus, it makes perfect sense for part of the mining team to be on NT's payroll considering NT's history of Phoron mining as well as exploiting any other resources they can find, they probably have swathes of experienced prospectors they can assign to the ship.
