Electric Badger -- I've actually really enjoyed this story and never considered reviewing it, because it seemed too professional to need help.

And my answers to your questions make me continue to think so:

-During the first couple chapters I move back and forth between character points of view. Later, because I wanted the reader to be less omniscient, I moved away from that and concentrated only on the main character. I'd like to rewrite it a bit to be consistent: which would you suggest?
I personally have no problem with inconsistency of this sort, and I do it myself. I could be wrong, but to me it seems natural to occasionally take a point-of-view shift if it's clearly marked and works well in the story.

If you really feel you have to be consistent, and you like the bits from other viewpoints, I'd just do the shift more often so people have to get used to it. And I might leave out the omniscient chapters altogether (shift them to Nyssa's POV) or reserve them for something special that really has to be omniscient.

But any such shift is bound to leave you with loads of small errors which will take many many proofreading passes to fix, so I wouldn't bother personally.

-A few of the names are a bit odd; is this distracting (and I should get some Emily and Janets instead) or do they help build individual personality?
Weird names are par for the course on a futuristic starship setting.

-I initially had a plotline formed around Lisa, but so far that only involves a few hints; should I work in some more 'down time' to develop her more, or just stick to a reasonably fast pace?
I think as long as her character is being developed (which it is) and goes through an interesting transformation over time (not yet I think), she doesn't need her own plotline. Not that it would be bad to have one.

See, I can't review works of genius -- I just end up writing fanmail.

All I can say is I feel really really bad for little whatshername with the permanent implants and hands behind the back.

P.S. "tears drifted from her eyes" might make perfect sense in zero gravity. Is that where it happens? I forget.
