*thumbs up*

I've updated the Handouts page to show the ship's new stats, including weapon range increments.

Hey all, I forgot to mention I'm on a quick vacation for President's Day weekend. Posting will be spotty, so feel free to bot me.

Want me to Captain or take the laser cannon (since I imagine Isu will want the nuke)?

i'll stay on the turret no matter what arc the enemy ship is in...

Don't fire a nuke until we are close enough that the nuke can hit the other ship with only a single attack roll. We don't want to rely on having to roll target lock attack more than once.

So... I know Cellion likes everyone to go at once, but it is really hard for gunners to go before we move. I'm going to wait until we move so I can see what happens. At least until we get closer.

my shot here should be enough to take out the shields, so a good roll from Arc (or Spectre if he wants to do it)with a nuke should really nail this thing. Don't forget to take the +2 computer check.

I forgot the computer bonus.

that roll, Spectre.... :o

that roll, Spectre.... :o

Lots of 8's!

Thanks for the retroactive Diplomacy check Cellion! Needed some time to catch up!

I guess higher level starship combat is easier than low level!

For new art, I found the spellcaster aegis image and turned it into a square.

yeah I guess I am large now!

clicking on that link won't do anything but you can copy/paste it

Okay, I had forgotten to mention my new armor upgrades. I sold my jump jets, and purchased the following:

*Jetpack (fly speed 30', average maneuverability)
*Targeting Computer (ignore concealment when targeting)
*Longstrider Module (+10' land speed)

Woo!

flying Spectre!

Technically WE'RE the aliens here, this is THEIR planet! :P

that's what they want you to think

I do have Detect Thoughts, although it's only on the third round that I can actually figure out what their surface thoughts would have been.

And that doesn't really let us communicate with them.

just to be clear! I personally am fine with Arc doing whatever he can to make peace, but you have to know Isu's personality enough at this point that he would see Arc falling on his face as a bit of a disgrace to his warrior sensibilities. But, this opens up some interesting new possibilities in group dynamics so I'm looking forward to that.

I'm well aware, and understand Isu's actions completely.

That said, I apologize if the speech Arc gives in response sounds uncharacteristically mean of him. I'M not mad, but he sure as hell is! :P

The hotel's going to be NUTS for the next two weeks, specifically the WEEKENDS TO REMEMBER!!!

It's a retreat set up by a bunch of churches across the country to send couples for a weekend of marriage-counseling and stuff at our hotel. Apparently they liked us so much LAST year that this year they're doing it TWICE!

Wow. You'd think with COVID19 spreading they'd hesitate to send people out to busy locations.

Good luck handling the rush.

They thought the same thing, which is why the second one got cancelled yesterday and I spent most of my work-day today cancelling those few reservations for it that were left.

Yeah, everything has been getting cancelled and postponed around where I live. Work will have us working from home starting next monday.

Hope everyone here is healthy still and has been staying safe.

We're doing well so far. My son is out of school for the next 3 weeks (2 + spring break). Sporting events and larger gatherings are canceling left and right.

Near Space is an awesome book! So many kewl archetypes! So much cool information about the planets out there! I've got so many awesomesausages ideas for new characters!

LOL, now I'm imagining Spectre talks like Ordis from Warframe.

"The grass is obstructing our progress-BURN IT. BURN IT NOW-we won't profit by standing around."

Can’t say I’ve seen that. I’ll have to check it out for ideas!

Can’t say I’ve seen that. I’ll have to check it out for ideas!

Here's some quotes from him!

Ha--that's definitely Spectre-like!

Fixed my post GM Cellion. He just stepped up.

I posted a few hours ago, shooting magic missiles at this snake-thing. Now I don't see that post on here. Did it go through?

I guess it didn't work right. Sorry about that. It's up now.

I'm trying to figure out if I can heal Spectre or not. Do normal healing spells work on droids?

Yes, androids like Spectre can be healed by healing spells and serums as normal.

Cool. Thanks.

I've become the last man standing at my job, so to speak. I'm working my regular shift, but it's the only shift on the schedule now, with one furloughed employee coming in two days a week to cover my days off. O_o

Yikes. Do I have a thermal detonator to activate, at least?

I mean, you could always grab a nearby rock and just make a clicking sound with your mouth...

Thats pretty good Arc! Not furloughed and I assume there's not much action at work right now.

You got that right. I've taken to bringing Starfinder books to read while I wait for the darn phone to ring, since I get my actual work done within 30 minutes of clocking in!

Holoskin's not really going to be useful to me. Did ANY of us invest in Disguise as a skill?

Not me.

I get like... 2 skill points a level, so....

Wow. A natural 1 on a Perception check. Good thing Arc's Perception is through the roof!

Waiting for Spectre to say something about what they've discovered so I'm not metagaming.

I've noticed a serious trend of people not moving their tokens on the map while their post describes moving. If you need someone to move your token, please say so and describe exactly where you want to go. Right now I'm having a hell of a time parsing your posts, and its a pain to constantly have to correct people.

I’m sure I contributed to this the last few rounds. I think part of it was not knowing where the console to hack was located on the map, so I wasn’t sure how far to move to be able to access it.

I’ll reprogram to do better.

I'm guilty of that too. I'll make it a point to do better.

Great! It'll help me a lot.

I'm interpreting this right, Cellion, right? The liquid is BLUE-blue, like it's Dawn dish soap and not the usual white/clear you see when water comes out of a fountain?

Yes. Bright, mini-golf course blue.

Have we explored EVERYTHING on the map already?

Nope!
