I’m running a game where the players are exploring, so they haven’t been to any of the planets before, one player has taken Contacts from Personality, any good ideas for rejigging it?

Distant relatives? He descends from a family of colonists that settled the quadrant.
Other explorers? There’s always another ship in orbit when they get there, and they know the captain.
Were they aware that this was going to be an exploration campaign?
That said: Any time a faction contacts the characters for anything , it goes through the Personality. Also any merchant ship or mining vessel or exploration/scientific ship they encounter will invariably know the Personality
Could you use the flip side of that? Instead of knowing a guy, everyone knows you. Perhaps you did some crazy stunt in the past or were the sole survivor of some disaster that got wide press coverage.
Online community in a FTL communications network?
“Let me check the forums and see if anyone knows about these Crystals…”
Todd Zircher That’s a different Personality skill; Fame
Judd Goswick damn that’s a good one!
Some good ideas. They are explorers coming into a sector that was colonized by ark ships.
The online community could work, established contacts with other people on the ship or perhaps back on earth.
Sean Gomes Yea they did know it was an exploration campaign, hoping for options of a modification along with the option to change to something else.
