Re: OOC - "Lost Point, The Forbidden Zone"
Ok since you said it’s cool for the radiation detectors from the ship then I think we should do that and get the contact.
A smuggler contact could end up being very useful to us down the line.

I think it's either–or: Triumph means we learn about the possibility of taking the radiation detector from the ship, or Triumph means we get the contact.

XP & Duty
As I have mentioned before, I'd rather move forward than wait around on PBP. If ever there is a time to slow down, then please let me know. The radiation detection device will go on the speeder in some way. The mechanics check will determine how well it works.
XP:
All players gain +10xp.
DUTY:
Vesper Reshari +10
Kallachitlanna +0
Thino Krist +20
Helios Voltor +5
Oona Braitano +10
Group Contribution Rank Goes to '2'. After the next excursion, you may choose...

- Strategic Asset (base): (I have plans for this one in the near future.)
Re: OOC - "Lost Point, The Forbidden Zone"
Woohoo! XP and Duty!
So, success on the radiation retrofit, +3 Advantages. Does using the scanner require a skill check of some sort? If so, I'd like to take a page from the "Crafting Gadgets" rules from Special Modifications and use the 3 Advantage to add "Safety Features: Add automatic Advantage to checks with the skill" used for the tool.
If it's a passive scanner (requires no skill check), then perhaps this would work instead: "Efficient Construction: A sizable portion of the materials go unused or can be reclaimed from the process." Basically, putting the radiation scanner back on the ship will be automatic or half cost.
Unrelated: Considering getting Forager [5] and Survival 1 [5] with the 10 XP. But would Forager apply if Vesper gave unskilled assistance to, say, Thino on a Survival check to find food, water, or shelter?

Re: OOC - "Lost Point, The Forbidden Zone"
Sounds fine. I imagine it working automatically within a certain range (close/short), needing a check to work at longer range in a certain direction (working much like sensors).SavageBob wrote: ↑Sat Sep 08, 2018 1:42 amSo, success on the radiation retrofit, +3 Advantages.

Nothing said about that Talent applying to another, but as with all things FFG SW, if you can reasonably rationalize it to be so, then why not?

Re: OOC - "Lost Point, The Forbidden Zone"
So I don’t have enough cup for the talent I wanted so I might just hold onto this for now, or buy another rank in charm, I’m also considering a cross class into Marshall in the future maybe so that’s something to think about.Boutrose Saba-Norr wrote: ↑Sat Sep 08, 2018 7:35 amSounds amazing I’ll look to see what I can spend that 10 xp on.
Re: OOC - "Lost Point, The Forbidden Zone"
OK, let's got with the auto-advantage on active use, then. I like that.DeepSpacer wrote: ↑Sat Sep 08, 2018 3:26 amSounds fine.

I searched the FFG forums for this sort of thing, and the consensus there is that by RAW, you can't loan your talents to another person actively using the skill your talents modify. See this thread. I'm happy to get a rank in Survival for Vesper; it just means a bit of skill overlap with Thino. But if you think I'd be better off putting 5 XP in one of the other freebie, top-row talents instead, I can do that (Grit or Stimpack Specialization).DeepSpacer wrote: ↑Sat Sep 08, 2018 3:26 amNothing said about that Talent applying to another, but as with all things FFG SW, if you can reasonably rationalize it to be so, then why not?

Re: OOC - "Lost Point, The Forbidden Zone"
I'm not worried about overlap, the skip tracers cover a lot of things so it's bound to have some overlap somewhere, and it could be nice to have so assistance thematically.

Re: OOC - "Lost Point, The Forbidden Zone"
Personal (overlapping) skills are good to have. There's plenty of times where individual checks are required or party members are separate and cannot work together.
You may want to consider, also, 10xp for a 2nd rank in any of about 10 skills you seem to have one rank in.
Re: OOC - "Lost Point, The Forbidden Zone"
Yeah, I was thinking one of those could work. My worry is the Corrin seems pretty desolate, so being able to find food and water may be a helpful thing for us to do. That said, maybe it's all irradiated, so Survival won't help us after all. I'll think on it!DeepSpacer wrote: ↑Sat Sep 08, 2018 4:27 pmYou may want to consider, also, 10xp for a 2nd rank in any of about 10 skills you seem to have one rank in.

OK, Vigilance 2 (10 XP) it is!
