wow, I didn't even know sw5e existed!
Regardless, in Troupe play, everyone makes one main PC and at least one supporting PC. And we would GM in turns, according to some schedule. Depending on the mission and the circumstances, anyone's main or supporting PC might be used.
So for instance, we'd all have one level 3 bounty hunter. And then, for example, I have a lvl 1 mechanic. It's my turn to GM, so I'm the mechanic/engineer that gets the team into the freighter, but im not part of the kill. My BH is out getting the contract on the next mission.
Next mission, you GM, and it's your slicer who comes with the team. If your main PC dies, one of your supporting characters can be elevated, or you can add in a new Hunter back in at level 3.
Or something we all agree on.
Basically, troupe play means that everyone is playing. It's easy to do in table top (next Tuesday, it's Operation: Orbis) but harder in PbP. We can always try.
Or - - maybe there's a GM out there who wants to run a team of BH?
