Chapter 4B: Asteroid Battle

I'll do what is ordered, but the sandthrower should only fire on the fighters, NOT the patrol boat. I'll explain why in my firing post.

Also, the real danger is the patrol boat. The only weapon that is going to hurt the Sentinel is that plasma gun. Our plasma guns should only fire on that patrol boat until it is dead.

I plan to do another CP generating next round and then do some repairs (3cp cost) the round after.

Daryen, Micah has a second shot, this one at the fighter.

Spaceseeker19, when gunners fire all weapons mounted on the ship, if you want, they can designate targets as they wish. I guess you thought that it all had to be the same target. It doesn't. But let's keep that order for this round and you change, if you want, for the next =)

Daryen, for attacks, Spec. Logan rolls 1d20+3 as he is more junior. The remaining gunners roll 1d20+4. You missed the patrol boat, either way.

Oh, I misunderstood. I am also so sorry the second shot is wasted on the Sandthrower. Please always make extra shots with the Plasma Beams!

Please take three plasma shots on the boat.

from what i understood, after the Gunnery ordered the shoot i can take my shot, just not clear if once or twice... (i know he ordered three shoots but would it be divided between the two plasma beams?)

Engineering is going to try and do your duty to get 1 CP.

The Captain, Douklan, and Fu Do Their Duty.

That should be another 1 CP.

Please, be my guest and do another plasma shot for the additional weapon fire. I'd also recommend that you roll the 3d6 for damage just to save time in case it hits.

Nice. Some notes and observations:

1. I think coordinating the gunnery head with the gunners is taking some time and is not adding that much of a choice and gameplay experience, as the head naturally makes most of the decisions. I propose we streamline that by letting arthur12320 take all guns and also control Lt. Fu. @spaceseeker19,@arthur12320,@daryen do you agree? Can I give him your gunners? In the future, I plan to keep it that way with whoever gets the gunnery head. In PbP being a gunner doesn't feel the same.

2. The captain has a special move called Support Department (0 CP) were she chooses a department. One action that department takes will require two fewer Command Points. As that is better than Do your duty in all aspects, I will suppose that she did that for the gunnery department this round. I also rolled the d20 for you, spaceseeker19, I edited your post. SWN has a unique dice mechanic: it's 2d6 for skills and 1d20 for attacking in combat. People get confused all the time =D

3. I will roll for the last gun this round, to expedite things, as that is not really an actual decision nor it is a real dice, I'm just pressing some buttons for the GP server to roll it for us. Otherwise, it would take another day or so. If we let arthur12320 control all guns, then in the next round he would have to make some choices and I would wait for him, of course.

I'll do Comms later, but note the restriction is not doing the same thing in consecutive rounds. The restriction is NOT to never do the same thing. So, I see no reason you couldn't do the same two things every other round. Or is that violating the spirit of the rules?

Comms will Do Their Duty, however.
