I will be more detailed when posting for rolls in the future to help avoid issues. Mothership has a few aspects that are different than some other d100 systems.

It is a roll under the target number system and rolling the target number exactly counts as failing. And doubles count as crits for both successes and failures. More specific things I will include as they come up.

Normal doesn't mean that it's right, though. I guess many of us work for Scrooge.

It's not clear to me how criticals interact with the disadvantage mechanic. Opi rolled 27 and 33. Both successes. I assume that's just s success and not a critical success even though 33 is higher than 27. Essentially, the questions is whether to go for the highest or the worst roll when dealing with disadvantage.

Disadvantage means you take the worst roll of two rolls. So it would go (from best to worst) critical success - success - fail - critical fail. So in Opi's roll, disadvantage makes it just a regular success, like you said. Keith and Geneva both get regular failures. Nova will roll only once since she is the only android in the party.

I think crits could be automated in the dice roller for the game, but would need to have the target number included when the roll is added. And I haven't tried to add this yet. So for now, disadvantage will be 2d100H1 and advantge will be 2d100L1 but the player will need to manually confirm if they rolled a crit and whether it is better or worse than the other dice roll.
