Hoth: Blood and Ice

Nudi has generously volunteered the Turtle.

Anyone want to join the crew? Or volunteer a second ship?

I will most likely be offering my gunnery skills to the mix.

Though, if there is no scheduling conflict, I will happily take the helm...assuming I am not not too injured or whatever.

Jan's off doing crime stuff, but if for whatever reason there aren't enough players to fill all the events (and time slots permitting) Jan can contribute either a big ship of her own or a large gunnery pool.

I'll plan for it, assuming there is need for mechanics

Ok, I guess I can do this thread if I'm in the Break on Through thread, being another time slot. I have a stock Dynamic-class Freighter and Piloting - 1eP+2eA+3eF.

If you're interested, Zayne, Jan's cruiser needs a qualified pilot. If nobody who hasn't had a chance to participate in another event Day 5 has a ship they want to bring, maybe combining our powers could be one option?

I don't think this counts as a challenge, but I'm waiting for Dapper to verify. I may want to jump into the heist thread too and cause some mayhem.

If anyone wants to jump on The Bottom Line for some ship combat, feel free. If not, Jan will simply perform all the rolls necessary

Heist is locked now, sadly.

It's good they got enough people for the heist. Sadly, they will be missing out on the obvious, "Aren't you a little short for a pirate?" line, at least for now.

Just be glad the Turtle doesn't have torpedo tubes...at least I don't think it does.

No. Something to invest in.

Please note, that If you feel like you cannot do anything because you do not have the typical piloting skills, like Piloting and Gunnery, you would be wrong. If you are someone who is good in Mechanics, Leadership, Discipline, Computers, Vigilance, Athletics, and Perception, you can meaningfully contribute. The beauty of this system is that everyone can do something.

If you need a other body I can join though my posting is irregular

I have 4p+1a+2F on mechanics, 3p+2A+1b on computers, 2p+2a on discipline

That's fine, just leave some ghosting instructions. Just roll your init here: viewtopic.php?f=7&p=10309#p10309

Players go first.

As much as I would love to give Vaylin a bad day, as we can't actually kill her, and Pip is possibly the only one who can hit her, I would rather he try to clip the pirate captain first.

Jan will have some big hits too.

Since we have two PC slots, then a block of npcs, should pilots go first for defensive positioning and whatnot? Then we shoot back during our PC block?

I'd be more than happy to start setting up defenses.

Jan's best as a gunner (and it wouldn't be super efficient for her to start sniping this far out with a turret) so she'll wait until a better late in the round for them to close with us!

Is Baesal doing any flying or just mechanics?

If not, would you want an NPC pilot to do any kind of maneuvering or positioning before NPCs turns?

I can have one of the NPCs try something then, since we're silhouette 5 a lot of the basic maneuvers aren't available.

Well if there is nothing special, does Pip want to do the honors?

Looks like The Bottom Line tried some fire discipline. But Red Shirt is no Durasay. This will give the NPCs a chance to get closer and create that 'target rich environment' Pipka enjoys so much.

Just remember all our shots are upgraded difficulty.

I figure with PC dice pools it shouldn't be a big problem though.
