Hailing frequencies open (Intro & OOC chat)

That's fine. Take care of RL first. We can wait as needed.

Glad it is resolved and don’t worry we just killed a space-mech-monkey we can all use a break lol

Ok so I have a question/need a ruling about Ship Mods
To me this means that the Mod, if addes as a redesign, and therefore spending extra time, money, and components, doesn't add to the base value for 6month maintinance as the term maintinance is used in both cases specifically.
This is reinforced by the mod Eternal Reactor.
Specifically this is reinforced, in my mind, because Eternal Reactor seems useless if it ends up costing more time and money in the long run. (Avoiding refuels vs 6month maintenance cost+time spent by engineer)

TLDR:It makes sense to me that once a ship has had a mod redesigned into it that it doesn't add to the 6month maintenance .

I think there is Maintenance (capital M) and the six-month maintenance. The first is using the Fix skill and must be maintained by a qualified engineer every week of active use. Integrated mods doesn't need that.

But i think the later is still required. You see, that is also a game trade-off to keep more expensive ships with larger maintenance costs (and as such demand more money = more/riskier adventures). Based on page 113:
I would consider that those credits spent as part of the Modding also counts as total non-crew costs. They're costs, after all, and even more expensive if they are integrated to avoid Maintenance (capital M)

Having to pay for maintenance, loans and stuff like that (or even being unable or hard-pressed to do so) is a classic plot hook in the genre. It's a source of complications, risk taking and adventures.

Regarding the Eternal Reactor, I don't think it's benefits are about saving credits. I think it's about not being stranded in the middle of nowhere, without fuel nor means to acquire it.

I don't necessarily think you're wrong, I do think they could have used other phrasing. Like maybe 6 months Upkeep or Servicing.
If they meant what you say they could be clearer about it.

It's interesting when playing a game where each enemy defeated doesn't give Exp, so characters can act more natural.

I haven't tried to look up stats, but in character I wouldn't assume that we can outrun cybernetic rats the size of dogs.

I'm assuming we can't outrun them. However, if we can keep moving back while firing on them we might be able to get them to stop pursuing and hopefully keep from get surrounded.

I vote that in the future when the GM needs a roll from the whole group that Htech can just roll for everyone.
(Like initiative or this exert roll)

Actually, I was not waiting for a roll, exactly. I usually let the players roll, but wouldn't wait just because of it. The decision of what to do is the one that really matters here.

As an example, Hank's first post was required. The second one, with the roll, will be considered but I was not really waiting for it.

Let me write something for Douklan, to make it easier for you to see ;)

I honestly didn't think I needed to roll initially, thus my delay in delivering the roll. Then I thought maybe I did need the roll, so provided one just in case. (Pretty sure it was a failure, though. It's been pretty long since Hank has done any dedicated long-term physical activity. 😓)

Just some rule checking that might come in handy for my next play, did you managed to find anything on the rules about dragging another character? is my speed halved? do i need to roll something?

There are no specific rules for that, so it will depend on circumstances and how long do you wanna do it.

If it's something done during combat, to carry another armored PC, halving your speed due to heavy encumbrance seems reasonable. Moreover, you may need to stow your weapon and have both hands free before you can carry him.

Please note that Corbin is stable, so dragging doesn't seem to be a good strategy right now.

I'm sure the robots have classed me as a 'non-threat' at the moment. Focus on finishing them and we can worry about healing later. :)

How did you do that? I just had to manually enter the Attack bonus from level ranges.

It took a couple tries to figure out, and an example from a different character sheet I could steal from. Do note that when making "variables" like this, the "variable" has to be assigned before it is used. That's why I added it to the Level definition line instead of later in the sheet where it is explicitly printed out. In the examples below, I put them inside spoilers so that they don't look horrible, as I assume the posting will try to interpret them. To see the actual encoding, you'll have to quote my post to see it.

I changed my "Level" line to look like this ...Note that this gives the formula for an Expert and/or Psychic. For a Warrior, just use level directly. For a partial Warrior, you'll have to do something far more complicated, like is done in the standard SWN sheet for the ability bonus values. (Since it is not a mathematical formula for partial Warrior.) The "color" attribute makes the creation of the bab variable not shown so you won't see it. (That was another cool trick I found in that other character sheet.

Regardless of how it is formulated, I just used the "bab" variable after that. For example, here ...(Note that this line is part of a table, but it shows how the roll is constructed.)

I hope that helps! When I look at the sheet, there are a couple other items I should be able to automate like this, but I just haven't yet.

For Partial Warrior I had toAnd then I have both attacks in my skill list so it looks like

@htech: Did you mean to lock the Chapter 6.2 thread? I thought you were still waiting for one more player's actions.

Also, I just wasn't sure how far behind we were. If it's gonna take 20 turns to get there, I certainly hope the combat is over before then! If not, our whole team will be dead!

Nope, that was a misclick, thank you. This site is excellent but the UX could be improved. Thread actions should be hidden behind a menu / another button
