I have not posted the most recent map, Juv is next to you as you did not move.
The Quarren is on shuttle next to you.
the other ship, MonCal freighter is the one that is shooting tie pilots. Rann is right on top of your sword right now, maybe he can get it if you dont want to burn the two maneuvers.
Down with the flu. Should be able to post later today or tomorrow.
My thoughts on the plan: get the freighter and the shuttle out of there quick! Prepare a B-Wing for launch as fighter cover while we prepare for light speed escape. Maybe someone blow up the TIEs still in the bay as we leave?
Thoughts?
What would blowing up the remaining TIEs involve? It is certainly a good idea to make it as difficult as possible for them to pursue us.
Using the guns on the freighter was my thought.
depending on timing you may not need to blow them up as the whole station is about to go up. Unless a pilot shows up and gets it going before the explosion.
Whoops, wasn't clear. Plan is to leave the door open until we're cleared to go after the freighter flies off. Not risking our lives for them, but giving the ones near us a shot, if they want to take it.
Sigh... Since this is not exactly good news, I may as well do it the band aid way.
It seems work and real life have gotten quite busy indeed as of late, leaving me with far less time and energy than expected. This unfortunately leads me to the conclusion that I am lagging behind in my various games much more than I am comfortable with. And it does not seem as if it will be improving any time soon. So I have to cut down on the number of PbPs I am in and withdraw from some of them lest all of them perish.
This is one of those games.
So please remove any aliases of mine from the Current Characters roster so the campaign goes to the Previous Campaigns list.
I thank you for all the fun and I do sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this brings to the GM and my fellow players.
sorry to see you go, i had just figure out how to get your crystal too.
Sorry to hear you are leaving Castor, just getting to know you! Good luck, and hope to dice with you again in the future.
Sorry to see you go, but life comes first.

Been a pleasure, Castor! Best of luck and hopefully, see you in the future!
Sorry to see you go, Rann/F.Castor (as I've posted elsewhere).
DM - are you going to retcon it that he died in the firefight, or do you have some more grisly fate to inflict on him...?
i will just dm pc him until we get back to the rebel ships.

That isn't very grisly...
well i was going to say "if we dont make it back it is wont matter either way"
Right-o. I read on the starship (and vehicle) combat section, and on a double triumph, I'm confused as to what to do.
Is it possible to fly extremely closely to the ship's bridge, scaring the commander and crew absolutely s+~*less? I think I still have a shooting action too, iirc.
Other ideas would include managing to position the shuttle in an incredibly vulnerable and hard to reach spot, such as looking at a gap in shield generation or engine power.
Ideas?
Hi all - internet connection has died (it's just one damn thing after another at the moment). Posting from my phone is fine but intermittent.
Apologies. Should be back up in 5 working days, apparently.
Bot as required.
Where are we now?
posted.
All, I have to leave the country.
For work, no worries! But I will be gone until this weekend. A little unexpected, and because I don't think I'll have time for my games while away, I'm posting this before I head to the airport.
Bot as necessary, please.
Hmm...I really have no real ability to help unfortunately in Space combat. Though there is one thing I can actually do which is an Athletics check to repair the ship once
Hi Thrask, there's still turrets on the freighter that haven't been fired, even if you're only GG you could still have a go at point blank, the worst you could do is miss!
If Djebelle fancied making an inspiring speech (Fire Discipline) then she could give you a boost!
I'm back! Just got in late last night, so will get back to everything tomorrow.
Well that adventure is over, nice job. At this point you can all take 35 xp to do what you will, some of you had left over xp also.
You have at least 2 days and as long as you want at the RP so if you want to do or mod anything feel free (RP in the game thread also if you like)
you have no ships but depending on what you decide to do next we will fix that issue. So before we figure out rewards and duty/obligation change lets answer that question.
Would you rather head down the path of more active rebellion oriented special operations activity (which may include direct action, espionage, etc) or head out on your own to travel the galaxy taking odd jobs and looking for wealth (ala firefly/serenity)? Every character and player has different motivations for what they are looking for in a game. now is your chance to set a trajectory for the campaign. Also no reason we cant change directions later on or even blend both as warrior-merchants.
Awesome! If I had my choice, I'd say a blend. One definite benefit is that makes more material available for GM Xyro to use.
I'd take one of the ships. Don't know if we can get the shuttle or not, but I've taken a look at it, and it's a fairly good ship, all around. Maybe a bit too imperial, however.
Count this as another vote for blend.
Well there's no reason why Aneira can't stay active for the Rebels and go 'undercover' in order to find out what's happening throughout the galaxy then feed back intelligence reports, and the team can still take Rebellion sponsored jobs after all!
So happy to go with a blend of both :)
A vote from me for a blend as both types of story as well. I see Aristi as being a bit torn when it comes to active participation in the Rebellion. On the one hand, he has no love for the Imperials, especially since they offed his sister. At the same time, he has obligations to his parents' trading concerns and I figure they would suffer if his involvement with rebels were to become public knowledge. And I reckon he has anger at the Rebellion for allowing his sister to be killed. At least, I reckon that's his position now, but he could be persuaded one way or another to bring him in line with the group's interests - maybe Ackbar can help him see past those barriers?
Both would work fine for me as Thrask, but he'd lean more towards the bounty hunter styling that striking out on their own bit.
both it is. While you "level" your characters I will flesh out a plan.
Same here - I'm not going to be much use in pure combat type situations, so something where we have other options works for me.
Yay for the XP! Will have to work out what to do with it...
Right, I'm going to put 20 XP into the Sense Emotions talent and 'bank' the remaining 15 for future development.
I will be sending out spoilered stuff to some of you to start get going on the next moves. Feel free to discuss among yourselves or keep it to yourself. If you have questions and or want to play it out just spoiler it back to me.
Also if you want to do anything either as a group or by yourself, add it to the game thread, spoilered to me if you want. If you want anything, in character or out of character, now is the time to ask.
Your ship is at the docks so also feel free to explore it and get it ready for when you want to leave.
Some of you have not spent our XP. let me know how you use it so I can track it.
Right, regarding XP, I'm currently at 225/270. I'm tempted to use the 45 to get Tinkerer and Dedication, but I'm just going to ask about unbalancing the combats, since 6 Agility is quite high. Not that the last combat went terribly well for poor ol' Juviest, though...
I could also get a rank in Medicine and a rank in Mechanics instead of the Dedication.
Can't decide on what to spend xp on. I'll have it done by Friday.

You already have tinkerer, unless you can get it again from another source.
a 6 agility would make you a little unbalanced in ranged combat, that combined with your modified weapons you tend to do more damage than the rest of the team. I am okay with it if the rest of the group is not feeling like they are being out shined. Though you may start drawing more fire also...<evil GM laugh>
I'm not very useful in combat, so anyone who can compensate for that would make me feel better :-)
Had 45 points to spend:
5 Grit
10 Pilot Space
10 Stealth
15 Armor Master
I'm ready
Had 40 to spend:
Barrage 10
Brace 10
Burly 15 (Sad that I have to take this to get to everything else on the TREE)
So 5 remaining. I'm like 90% certain there is not a single thing I can't use without negatives now. I could probably move a tank's cannon once I get to Armor Master.
Right, so I decided to go ahead on the Dedication buff, and I've put my 10XP left in Knowledge(Underworld). I'll probably go towards Knowledges, and maybe grab Medicine in the future.
Juviest, remember to update your Wounds/Strain on your avatar.

you have 10 xp remaining. bank it or do you want to spend it?
Uh, I think I'll bank it for now.
At 7:15 am today, they walked me out of my place of employment. My new job is finding another job, and until then, I don't have time for all my side projects. I'm going to try and keep this game going, I like the character and the group, and frankly playing takes less time than GMing. I just wanted to post this because some of you are in other games of mine, and I wanted to make things clear - as mud.
ugh, that is a rough day. Good luck on the search.
Harsh. Good luck on the employment front, I honestly mean it, since I'm having similar problems as well. Fingers crossed.
Sorry to hear that, best of luck to yah.
Hi!
So shall we handwave the rest and be on our way?
Astrogation check from Aristi!?
