If not feel free to kick me in the balls and watch me scream like a girl (no offense Jane)

Career path: Engineering
Your rank at end of game: Commander
Who you married (if anyone): No one (after Doreen and Ayo left, I figured the pickings were too slim)
Medals received (if any): All four. Took a few tries.
Outcome of away missions: Success, monies, fame
Any notable events: When I tried giving Doreen some deodorant, and she was all like, "keep it, you creep." Memories are made of this.
Your ending: INTERGALACTIC HERO (3 out of 26)
Bugs found: The latter half of Mission 3 doesn't get shown, after Mission 2 the date is November 31 and it gives December 1 a skip, the formula that derives fame is flawed, etc.
Suggestions for better gameplay: Make it an option to marry people who have left the ship. Or that passed-out guy at the bar.

An error has occured. Please contact the game author for support as this is likely to be a scripting error and not a bug in AGS.
(ACI version 2.62.772)
(room 18 script line 144)
error: display speech: invalid character specified.
also, the first time round before being taken off to investigate the signal, i was busy purchasing something right before departing. Then i was taken away, and the window to buy items was still there, although i could not interact with it. Made it kinda hard to do anythin.
And this was probably a 1 off thing but i went into the canteen and my character kept repeatedly buying good meals, and wouldnt stop. i couldnt get control back
only other thing is when using the shower or bed, you cant stop. well you can but it stays the same as if u were usin them visually... if that makes sense... which it probably doesnt.

I would be very grateful if Yahtzee finalized this game... I am sure his fans would as well.
A suggestion for the final version: Make the main character physically transparent so its impossible to click on them.
I found a major bug where you engage with the shower, bed or workout machine and the animation plays on a loop despite you disengaging the shower, bed or workout machine.

If I recall correctly, you also have to be fit/knowledgeable when you work, depending on your class. That's an important factor in working "well", as well as having close to maximum energy(/nutrition/amusement?). Working well is preferable for winning promotion favours to working long but poorly.
Of course, it'll take long anyway.

Anyways.
I don't suppose enough people are still actually playing this to warrant a thread to actually discuss the game, strategies, mechanics, ect?
Anyways, so near as I can tell your awarded a certain number of points based on how well you do your job each hour. (Poor, fair, good, excellent, etc). I assume its something like -1, 0, 1, 2 or something along those lines.
Slowly, the more hours you work, the more points you accumulate. At certain margins, your "chance of promotion" goes up.
I'm not sure if your Attribute and Modifier for the attribute have a direct effect on the Promotion rate asides from your performance per hour, or if they just help with that.
I believe medals give an instant point boost to your ability to get promoted, and don't increase the rate at which you get points...
And last, I'm not sure how friends/popularity factors into it at all.
Anyhow. Hope that helps.

So, overall mood, and overall attributes, influence the number of points you get per hour for working.
Still not sure if friendship effects this, or if it effects another modifier when you actually attempt to rank up.

It says in the info for the game.
But I can't remember where because I haven't played it in about 2 years.
Deuc, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE! YOU'VE AWAKENED THE MONSTER! IT WAS SUPPOSED TO STAY DEAD! NOW IT WANTS OUR BRAINS! D:
