Despite the maneuverability of the ship, the living crew is unable to hit the undead craft. Unfortunately, they once again have been flanked and are unable to fire back.
Ship statuses:
Endless Threnody: -39HP port weapons glitching
Loreseeker: Shields 27(7 forward,10 port,0 starboard,10 aft)
-30HP Life support glitching; starboard weapons glitching
Inside the Endless Threnody, the undead engineer pushes the struggling power core to divert power to the engines, to give them a boost in speed. As the ship lurches with the new found speed, the pilot attempts to push the ship further to allow them the get into a good spot to damage the Loreseeker.

"Rig, bring us around out of their forward sights so we can get a better shot at them." Diplomacy (Inspire):1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Jchak realizes after saying it that that wasn't particularly inspiring.

Gotcha. That means the enemy is currently facing the same direction, right? He did it go from facing left to its current facing in one move? And looking at the move indicator from our previous turn I have no idea how we are facing the way we are. Help?
Successful maneuver check reduced distance between turns to 1 for the enemy ship. At the end of the move, it turned one last time since it had moved the requisite spaces prior. As for the facing of your ship, I agree with you. I have adjusted it in a way that makes sense for the previous actions.

The enemy ship was facing left after it moved. Its current facing represents two turns after its final move, doesn't it? I am almost sure that is the case.
OK, at this point, everything has stalled enough and everyone is getting frustrated enough that I'm going to make one GM post or two to get you moving forward again. It looks like everyone on your team has gone on this round other than Morodda.
The Endless Threnody is unable to fire on you because of the direction it is facing.
Morodda fires at the undead-run craft.
attack:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
His shot passes over the top of the Endless Threnody.
Frustrated by his recent inability to coax more power out of the guns, Morvruul pulls up a firing console and prepares to act as secondary gunner, preferring quantity of firepower to quality.

The ET pilot has moved.
The ET engineer attempts to patch the forward weapons.
1d20 ⇒ 16
The ET captain tries to encourage one of the gunners.
1d20 ⇒ 20 I will wait and roll guns if they can shoot at you...

Sorry Redelia. Maybe too fast. I never moved the ship last time (DId you move it for me?) and am not sure all my team mates posted their actions. And I am not sure what your arrow means on the ship. We had worked out a convention that says the triangle touches the side the ship is facing. Are you using that?
Would it be helpful if I replaced the ship tokens with something with obvious facing? Actually, looking at it, the arrows look like they'll work. We'll go with your convention that the arrows indicate the facing of the ship, since that's what you've been doing.
As for your movement.... You had posted a piloting roll, so I'm pretty sure that Redelia thought you had moved. But as you were lined up with their backside, your perfect move as a pilot would be to do evasive maneuvers in place and keep your sweet, sweet shooting position.
You are still facing their backside. What would you like to do?

Computers to Target Systems (Power Core):1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
Pregen Quig, ratty tail twitching, targets the Threnody's power core. "C'mon guys, hit this thing. Even a small hit will cause its power core to glitch now. Shoot it up its undead butt!"
With the sudden appearance of Quig (and he moves about the ship so quickly!), Morvruul remains at the firing console and sends another shot at the undead ship.
"Eh, you guys got this now!" Quig says, whiskers twitching. "I think I better get back to my more regular gig of keeping the Infosphere going! It's a mess!" He climbs into a personal shuttle, marked the S.S. Paizo Forum Infrastructure, and takes off!
With Quig's help, you cause crit damage to the Endless Threnody's power core. It cannot shoot back!

"I have no love of violence." Morvruul declares, even as he places a hand on the firing trigger. "Such unseemly matters are generally poor for business and I am, after all, merely a humble merchant."

Rig releases his tight grip on the controls and wipes the sweat from his brow. I agree Morvruul. Though I did appreciate the piloting challenge. He checks the scanners. Is there anything left to pick up?
