Sure, GMs can find workarounds on the contrary it is not like some games, in which a common career path or career intersections facilitate party formation. Also, this is a level based game which provides no reason for the party to together.

I could not find references how to do this. However, as this is Old School, where are the possibilities for cross training or multi-classing. Where there are abilities beyond explanation, which can include healing and also low level combat stuff. And, the Psion is the Magic User-Cleric combo.
What makes a Warrior, a warrior, is his/her combat bonuses? Is a Naval Gunner a Warrior? Guess that depends upon the Game Master. Also, Warrior is meant to encompass everything from a Seasoned Space Marine to a low tech Barbarian. But, that hardly makes them an expert save they can retry their skill set. I suppose, if the anthology is that players start off as 0-level (zero level) characters and progress from there. Yet, how these skills are added and progression is no where listed in Chargen. So, he could be the greatest criminal mind in the galaxy and (s)he would have to build skills accordingly. An Expert can an expert in just about anything but very little guidance is suggested how this might play out. Then players can choose between three basic classes Expert, Warrior and Psion. So, characters are essentially grounded in GM fiat. Also, being a Science Fiction game, nothing says origin like Home world modifiers – yet do the rules accommodate this? Unfortunately, not, as the rules for World Generation are so vague that they could used to justify any trope. It is suggested that these rolls can be used as modifiers but it remains unclear from the onset how they may be. The game uses the standard combination of physical and mental characteristics to describe a character in 3D6 roll. But, for a Peanut Butter & Jam sandwich to work, you gotta have the bread, and that is what Stars Without Number seems to be, interesting tasting goo because there is no bread to hold everything together. Stars Without Number, no doubt is a fine game but in so many ways it is an incomplete game and a game that relies too much of smooching two great games OD&D and Traveller together – the resulting ooze is Stars Without Number. So what went wrong with so many things that were right. Interesting Science Fiction Background – check.
It seemingly had everything that I would want in a game. I really wanted to like this book - but in the end found myself disappointed.
