GM_Foxy's Incident at Absalom Station (Inactive)

Game Master Foxy Quickpaw

I would be happy

Hello Foxy Typhon.

That depends. Is Allison also gone for good?

I wasn't answering for you. Just saying I wouldn't mind

She hasn't posted in any alias for a few weeks, and hasn't responded to my PMs. Either way, its bad form.

I wrote a PM too yesterday and haven't gotten a response so far. Are we going to look for something specific when we open up recruitment? Or does anyone know someone who might be interested?

I don't know anyone specifically. I'd say open it up.

We are specifically looking for someone to fill a role opened up by our losses including

1) A pilot
2) A ranged damage dealer **!!**
3) a healer type

It doesn't have to be all three, but some combination would fit in nicely with our group of

1) Melee soldier (Gunner)
2) Melee solarian (Gunner)
3) Technomancer who is almost useless inside combat (Pilot, Science Officer, Engineer)
4) Medical Doctor Envoy (Captain)

Most importantly though, we need someone who isn't afraid to push us along in posting.

I am telling a friend about the gap

*cough cough* heard there might be a vacancy. I just flew in from the drift and boy are my arms tired.

I'm cool with Sean if the rest of you are. His posting rate is solid, and he's been on the board a few years now.

Sean what are you looking at playing?

Thanks!

From above it looks like you need a ranged damaged dealer and a pilot. So I was thinking of taking a mechanic. I'll have to build him first to see which role he can fill best. But I think I can manage ranged and pilot cos I was thinking of taking the pilot background.

This is basically my excuse to play Rocket Raccoon here :)

But if that's not your thing I can make him less rocket raccon and more something else. There are some great race choices I wanna check out in the alien archive if they're allowed. I'll look over everything tonight.

A mystic Star Shaman or Xenodruid is also appealing. But yeah gimme a couple hours to read over them and will let you know which concept sticks.

That's 2 for leaving in the Sunrise and docking with the Acreon, getting our crap and bailing on this Rock Also, Loot log updated. I'm gonna assume we gather up all the crap we found and put it in the Sunrise Maiden.

You won't get off that easy :D

Sorry guys. Just taking me a little while to make this charcater manually since Herolab doesnt have SF capability and PCgen was giving me issues. Just busy buying Equipment and then have to make an alias. So should be done soon. Playing a Ysoki Mechanic Mercenary.

Please let it be a ranged combat dealer with ranks in computers and piloting.

Exocortex or Drone?

He's got a Heavy Weapon and a drone. Gonna outfit the drone with a heavy weapon asap as well. Computers and Piloting both sit at 9 ranks. Does that help?

Sorta building him fast so that I can get into the game. Hope I don't miss out on anything in the build.

Personally. And this is just me...but a long range expert with an Exocortex seems pretty awesome.

Also, did you take both Longarm Proficiency AND Heavy Weapon Proficiency?

I spent the last hour and a half formatting my character sheet to put in my profile and it didn't save it! Ugh, pulling my hair out. Sigh.

I think I only get one feat at first level so took Lonarm Prof for now. Next will be Heavy and will have to beef up my Str.

But it's only a -2 to fire it so it's not too bad.

Ok, Ysoki Mechanic was my first choice too as a Starfinder Character. I got him at Engineering 13 and computer 11 at level 1. But he wasn't too good for combat.

I'm looking forward to see your Ysoki statted out.

Though I half expected you to come as kind of Obi Wan Kenobi with that avatar ;)

Umm. Having computers and engineering while being useless in combat is a role already taken thank you. =)

I didn't say useless. Just not taken the weapon proficiencies that are needed for the big guns, that are not part of the class. With a stealth drone that can shoot to, he'd carry his weight.

Edited because I failed my Int check for reading comprehension - thought you'd gone exp instead of drone

Ok, Ysoki Mechanic was my first choice too as a Starfinder Character. I got him at Engineering 13 and computer 11 at level 1. But he wasn't too good for combat.

Well not so much of an Obi Wan, more like a down on his luck merc with 6 shells of ammo left and a battle droid looking for work. ;)

He's got skills and should be alright for combat especially in another level. He's statted out hope I didn't miss anything.

Still need to type out the droid stats though.

It's after 1am here so gonna hit the sack. Just double check my character and I should be ready to post in the morning, which will probably be later for some of you guys.

Your profile is missing out on the attributes and your attack modifiers. Also, I don't think that we will make it back to Absalom Station today. So there is no hurry.

My Attack Modifiers are under Offence on my sheet.

Speed 20 ft.
Melee +3
Ranged +5
Thrown +3

Reaction Cannon, Light
Level 1
Attack +3
Damage1d10+3 Penetrating
Range 90ft
Ammo/Usage 6 rounds

Attributes?

I did realise that for my drone I didn't have enough cash to buy him a weapon. So for now he has a broken longarm that sorta exploded that he's got attached to him.

There is an option to introduce him sooner... If the maiden has a med suite we could go all 'passengers'

Gunnery Check = 1d20 + the gunner’s base attack bonus
or the gunner’s ranks in the Piloting skill + the gunner’s
Dexterity modifier + bonuses from computer systems
+ bonuses from the captain and science officers +
range penalty

I guess piloting is the new perception. You don't have it, you're going to die. Horribly. Suffocating in vacuum. Shooting at +4 while your enemies are shooting at +12 is just a disaster waiting to happen.

Someone else going to do something? There are more gunner seats available for example. The Sunrise Maiden has a gun in every direction in addition to the turret taken by Boreal.

It is that thing about a melee soldier having sweet blue all to do in starship combat.

As a gunner you don't need piloting, you can use BAB, so a soldier with dex can do it quite well.

Tannhauser and I have the same issue, we wen't strength based which makes us crappy in starship combat

Hi there.
I'm looking through the games and I'm just wondering - Are we doing this starship stuff right? I mean, besides me making simply a two part round out of it, it still takes like forever to get through a fight.

You are doing it right I believe. Because we have unoptomised gunners we are missing more than we should.

Question: Do you want to keep Allion on board as a GM PC, or not. Because if not, now would be the opportunity for her to reasonably leave.

Also Boomer could come around now. Want a introduction through the Starfinder Shirren or want to introduce yourself to the group?

I'm ok with her leaving. EH-RK could pick up the piloting duties, as could Boomer

I think maybe an introduction would be more natural. Don't want to seem like a groupie :)

Also my Piloting is now at 12.

I'm working on apost that could include you Boomer.

Basically, the sunrise maiden was damaged and could use some repairs. Eric was once a lab technician that assisted repairs on software upgrades for craft...he met Boomer while Boomer was between jobs moonlighting as an engineer.

Ok, so a couple things.

Firstly, loot listed as "Equipment" sells at 10% of value. So it BEHOOVES us to claim whatever we can since we lose 90% of its value when it is sold. Please take a look at the Loot list and claim whatever you want. You can post about it here or edit the loot log.

We do have a substantial amount of nonequipment related loot which sells at 100% of whatever listed value is. (NoQual Fragments, Trade Goods, Art)

As it stands, we have about 8000 credits worth of things to sell. So divided by 5 that's 1600 credits each. We also have 800UPB for crafting.

Eric claimed a few items. Static Arc Pistol, Engineers Toolkit, Freebooter Armor, Spell Ampx2 (Lesser Restoration), Clear Spindle Aeon Stone

Cool cool.

Not much for Manteca to grab, but did make my claiming of an azimuth laser pistol canon. Also, I'll use the UPBs to make some knockout drugs or anti toxins or whatever we decide is going to be the most helpful.

LOOT Distribution. Please take note.

Total Value of All Sold LOOT: 7920 Credits/5= 1584 Credits per member

Boreal: Somewhere on your sheet mark down 2 Incendiary Grenades, 2 Shock Grenades, Tactical Arc Emitter
Manteca: Somewhere on your sheet mark down 800UPB, Azimuth Laser Pistol
EH-RK: Somewhere on your sheet mark down Clear Spindle Aeon Stone, Static Arc Pistol, Spell Amp (Lesser Restoration)x2, Freebooter Armor, Engineers Tool Kit

What do we need equipment wise moving forward? I don't mind taking a bit less money if someone has their eye on something they can't quite afford.

I'm going to get a MK I Personal enhancement - I'm thinking either a dex boost to improve my AC and to-hit, or if we need to fill in more of Allison's missing skills, I could go Int and pick up an additional skill. If I keep captaining, Intimidate wouldn't be a bad idea, or I can double up on Engineering or Computers so EH-RK isn't required to do both.

I need to check costs -_-

Everyone has more than enough for a Mk1 upgrade...we all got 1584+500.

Eric will be getting a MK1 DEX upgrade.
Total Credits 2148
-1400 MK1 Neuroskeletal Accelerator (DEX) +2
-325 Quick Release Sheath installed into Bodyframe(Upgrade Slot Racial)
-300 Batteries x5

123 Credits remaining.

Hmmm. I am thinking about Dex or Str. Hmmmmm. Maybe some better armor

So I'm simply waiting until everyone returns to the ship at 1600.

I'll make us a pushing post tomorrow. However, Boomer and Tanhauser haven't checked in in a while.

...so I feel like I should go for the Int upgrade, get my medicine and knowledge skills up higher, and then also just snag ranks in Intimidate. But that will mean that Manteca will continue to be the damselfly in distress, and I don't want anyone to feel like they're spending their PbP protecting our sweet, sweet naive doctor.

Any objections?

Oh I have no problems. Boreal might though :p.

Well, I have no problem with Boreal having a problem with it.

Manteca probably will though.

Cue... hijinx.

Sorry I haven't posted anything in awhile, I've been trying to force myself to post something to no avail. I'm just finding I care about Starfinder less and less due to a bunch of things, it doesn't have anything to do with any of you though so don't worry about that.

=(

I think we will be ok with 4...however this would be a good time to add a Lashunta character
