What is Space Roles?
Space Roles is an attempt to create roles in space combat for characters in role-playing games. It assumes that the characters are working together to command a space ship. The roles are aimed to allow every type of character to contribute meaningful to the combat and avoid player characters acting merely as passengers. The system is intended to be generic, a "meta-system" that describes the relationships and goals of of the roles and how they might affect the outcome of battle, without assuming any more system specific detail. Ideally, the Metasystem should be applicable to any roleplaying system and every space combat system - even if the original RPG doesn't assume space combat and the space combat system is intended purely as a board game with little or no activities of a commanding crew.
The system also uses "exception based design" - meaning that individual characters have abilities that might break the normal rules. But the individual exception based rule should preferably be composed of predefined components. Similar approaches can be found in D&D 4 Edition.
Each Role has a description of it's general tasks onboard a ship and which ship resources it may influence.
