Re: OOC: To Dxun
Xenology (2 Succ, 0 ADV/Thr)
These beasts are like Krayt Dragons with wings. They are non-sentient and animalistic in nature. They live and fight based on their unrivaled strength. Their hides will give them +1 Ranged Defense. They can soak enough damage to make all but heaviest weapons virtually useless against them. Their primary attack is their powerful jaws. Their secondary attack is the talon on their tail. Any humanoid would be hard-pressed to last more than a few seconds against one in combat. In a starship, well....

@Doctor Who @Flamiel
Hey, guys! I will be on vacation from July 16th-26th. I will have access most all days and you probably won't notice any difference in postings. At our usual pace, we shouldn't be much different. First vacation in two years, like most people.
In true form, the alternator goes on the car 4 days before leaving. :/

Oof, so after driving for several days, I think I'm good to respond. Let me refresh my memory.

Initiative (link):
PC slot: ? ?
NPC slot: ? Drexls
PC slot: ?
PC slot: ?
() for 'ship' to 'ship'
+1 Ranged Defense for Drexls
The Vandura (link)
- Has two FORWARD weapons
- Has ONE turret for front/aft/starboard
The players have the first slot. Only one gun can fire towards the rear or side. They can continue to fly straight or maneuver to bring the front guns to bear (i.e. Monty can fly, Anjali can gun). Other option include angling deflector shields, boost shields, Gain the Advantage, or just plain try to out-fly them with speed (A chase scene).
DESTINY POINTS

BA isn't doing much, he's just holding on for dear life.

Re: OOC: To Dxun
I'd recommend attempt to out-fly them, but I think that's just Monty piloting. BA could man the guns, and Anjali can work on boosting shields.

Re: OOC: To Dxun
That's right! BA in the A-Team had a severe fear of flying! Not as severe in this game as it was in the show. In the show they had to tranquilize him (against his will) and carry him onto the plane.
A Chase scene sounds good. I don't think Fly Speeds are even included in creature descriptions. FFG leaves a lot open to cinematic creativity, I suppose.

Re: OOC: To Dxun
Let the dice fall where they may! Sometimes it is good for non-combat skills be as effective within combat situations as combat skills are. We'll have to wait another day to face those fearsome creatures!!
I figure that winning a Competitive Check by FOUR increments (3 Succ vs 1 Fail) is worth at least two range bands. Close-Short-Medium.

Re: OOC: To Dxun
Missile Options / Situation
=======================
Our Sil 4 shuttle versus the Sil 0 Missiles means targeting difficulty is 4 Diff if one wants to shoot them down.
"Spoof Missiles" action can apply. i.e. use vehicle systems to disrupt the tracking systems If successful, weapons with the Guided quality upgrade their attacks by one, plus one per 2 Advs (or Triumph).
"Boost Shields" Action is Mechanics 3 Diff. Adds a die to shields.
"Angle Shields" Maneuver simply does so. Moves a rear to the front.
"Evasive Maneuvers" action only applies with Speed 3+ ships. We are Speed 2.

Re: OOC: To Dxun
I think all piloting checks are supposed to factor in the ships handling, which I think is -2 (two setbacks).
Anjali will attempt to spoof missiles.

Re: OOC: To Dxun
There's a success, to upgrade their diff by one.

Re: OOC: To Dxun
That is correct! Thanks! Ended up a one less Succ and Adv. Still, a 3 Succ difference.
1 Adv? Pass it on?
Re: OOC: To Dxun
Yes, pass the boost.

I will be flying out on Thursday to go to Alaska and will be offline until Aug. 7th. We then go to the beach for a week, but I think I should have some connectivity there.

Re: OOC: To Dxun
Enjoy!!!! Seems to be we have a 1-2 week posting rate based on everyone's schedules. If it comes to it, we'll roll for Anjali. Alaska and the beach sound GREAT!!!!
I know that I saw tons and tons of campers on the road this last week on my recently-finished 10-day vacation. Here, many schools start mid-August so many are fitting in that last trip before school.

Re: OOC: To Dxun
A Despair on them missile hit. Any ideas? Anything besides the following? Perhaps, even, they mistake you for a friendly? They mistake you for a possible second or third shuttle??? The 1 Adv is that they patch through a communication to the ship.
Book suggests the following:
Primary weapon system of active characters ship (or weapon system manned if gunner) suffers Component Hit Critical.
Upgrade the difficulty of active or allied characters next
Pilot, Gunnery, Computers or Mechanics check
DP's

LS 3 / DS 2
