I almost feel the same, in many ways. I'm much much much MUCH better at writing multiple characters bouncing off each other than I am at writing one person on their own until they do some recruiting.

On Ship I had it set up so that the crew formed with the first three members founding it just before the story started, so I had all of them in my first chapter. I can't really do that here because the crew's relationship means I have to explain why the first mate is holding off on fighting the captain (matter of honor because she saved his life) and why the second member is hanging around with them at all (I'm not entirely sure of that yet, thinking about things).

And yeah.. I do kinda want to show some of the post timeskip stuff I have as well. But I don't think I'm going to skip ahead to show it. back on Ship an awful lot of what my crew can do post timeskip are things I came up with while writing them Pre-timeskip instead. I've concluded that it's a lot easier to show how a crew gets stronger if you fully understand where they were before hand.
