Annie really is a crazy driver, wow! I would be very, very uncomfortable parallel parking with even triple that length on both sides. And from a survey of some random folks on the internet, the comfort range is anywhere from a meter on both ends to a total 1.75 extra car lengths. Now intellectually, I know that with a great turning radius and/or lots of patience, parallel parking with even less space than what Annie mentioned is possible. That still doesn't mean that I'm going to try and park there; I'll probably do exactly what Jim is doing and find a different place, preferably one that doesn't require parking parallel.

<scribble> Inspiration can come from many places, and I bet we'll soon see a similar parking instance in-game for Rey. Will she take a far away spot again that's known to be safe, or choose a close spot where there is a high risk of damage while the party is away? And as there hasn't been any down time for repair of the Falcon as of yet, this is going to be a tough call for Pete I feel. For such a benign sounding Disadvantage, the GM is doing remarkably well at making it an actual issue that comes up.

Sally's going into environmental engineering, very cool! I think we now know what everyone is doing outside the game except for the GM. I'm with Sally's sentiment here, though it's mostly because I still have to live on this planet. Plus, it would be nice if some of my favorite outdoor places were still the same for future generations to experience as well. Building or repairing things (including the environment) is difficult enough without the additional challenge of opposition to the repairs. And yes, the GM is much more accommodating. Not counting the 17 pages of notes skipped or all of the other times the party has jumped the rails, there have been many examples in comic where the GM lets the players get away with things, though my favorite is still the genesis of laser sword parrying.
