Nope dp covers it. My daughters birthday party if tomorrow so I probably won't post until Sunday or Monday.

[crazybirdman]

I wasn't able to access the site for the past day or so. Was that just me? Did I miss anything?

[kanila]

I've had the same issue. Nothing new here.

[swrider]

Wasn't you. The hosts database serversvwent offline. The riders guild site has been set up to redirect to a warning page with my contact info. I can't do the same for the forum. So if you save that page you can serbthe message when things go down.

[swrider]

Sorry guys with the website down I wasn't able to post and I'm slammed this week. I'll try to get something up but I won't be on much untill the weekend.

[crazybirdman]

So what's the clone's next move? Knowledge check to see where we exit? Do we jump off or try to ride another container?

Do we try and slice the train to get it to go where we want?

[swrider]

Great question. Let me know when you guys decide what you want. However, you are aiming to go to the center of the ship towards the hyperdrive and the train as far as you know only goes around the outside of the ship.

Looks like we could possibly hack the controls to stop the train (i.e. interrupt a power circuit, then reconnect it to go again). I imagine the train will stop by itself at openings if it is just a normal train. it may be programmed to go to a certain stop, which means we may have to hotwire it.

[swrider]

cutting power is an easy mechanics check or ranged attack. doing so in a way that it can then be restored is a hard mechanics check with a setback die. Reprogramming the train is a computer check, but you first have to find a control panel of some sort.

[kanila]

So hard mechanics check to find a control panel?

[swrider]

I didn't give a difficulty for finding a control panel. I wanted to see what or how players approached finding one. Things like mechanics or piloting checks could be used to identify where they are likely to be, perception could also be used. I am anticipating average with a setback because of the moving training (the control moves relative to you, but keeping balance and everything whirring by could be a distraction).

[crazybirdman]

So even if we can control where it stops, we still have to find I way from the train to the hyper drive right? The train does t go directly there?

[swrider]

I've been very clear in the Ic that the train seems to be following a course around the outside of the ship. You believe the hyper drive to be in the center of the ship. Short of riding the train for an entire loop you can not be sure where it goes.

[ThreeBFour]

Wook did a Planetary Piloting Check, my thinking on this is that even though we are in space it's a train and therefore a planetary vehicle. But if you want me to change let me know.

[swrider]

That is fine, it makes sense to me.

Sorry, missed that.
I guess we should probably go forward across the tracks (was it?), towards the center of the ship.

Also you guys can cross the tracks to the door at the far end. The platform extends the whole way across it just has two train tracks being supported by it. Granted that means running through the open area in the center and going over two train tracks with moving trains, but that is an option.

Opening the hatch is a simple mechanics check with two setbacks.

And Wook still miffed it.....lol

Spoiler:

Wook; 501st; Mechanics Check for hatch:
1 Failure, 2 Advantages

[kanila]

Doc; Scouts of the Republic; Mechanic Check:
1 Success, 2 Advantages

[swrider]

Easy computer check to start or stop train. Easy mechanics to stop it. Anything else the difficulty goes up.

@swrider I was on FFG Community site and found this https://drive.google.com/file/d/10ptE6v ... kPKUV/view

This guy is putting together a Clone Wars Supplement, for what he has done it looks pretty good so far.

[kanila]

I will be gone the 9 th through the 23rd for training. I will attempt to get on when I can but do not wait on me.

Just pretend Doc is having a mental break down or use him as needed.

[swrider]

I'm waiting on you guys so if you are waiting on me please let me know.

I think we're monkeying with the droid train-brain, now. Not sure if we're going to go by train of go forward across the tracks into the center.

I think I understand what is happening here. DeepSpacer, you do realize that we are already on the train heading around the perimeter of the ship, forward towards the middle? Doc and Fuse are currently monkeying with the droid brain to get it to either stop or slow down for when we want off.
It just seems like you missed that part of us actually being on a moving train. We still want to head to the center of the ship this just gets us further forward quicker.
