This is a run of SFS #1-01: The Commencement with a pre-arranged group of players.

Shadow of the Vault Lord || Extinction Curse
We’re back! I’ll get back to posting this evening, but feel free to get back into the game!

Hey folks, sorry for the radio silence—site outage plus big deadline. I'll wrap up the latter on Monday, and should start participating after that!

So after my social scouting, everyone but me gets a bonus action to interact with the other pilots? Is that right?
Shadow of the Vault Lord || Extinction Curse
It’s more that everyone always had that option, but because you spent your round investigating our opponents, people now know what they would need to do to socialize with another racer. The Sense Motive option is no longer available/needed, so an action would now be to improve Laboni’s racer and then use a bonus action to either scout an opposing racer’s vehicle OR talk to one of the other racers, taking advantage of your observations. This includes you in your later rounds.
This bit is tricky to run in PBP! It’s easier to explain at the table.
Sorry I've been out of it for a bit. Should be back and consistently available again.

Oh, I see - we each get 4 actions. My brain was on autopilot and told me 4 actions for the entire party, because clearly all parties have exactly 4 PCs!

No worries, Sara! I feel like forum play-by-post only just got its momentum back this week after the site outages.

I'm enjoying Null and Tuudak's friendly antagonism!
Kate, I did two things in one post, both looking for parts which I rolled low on and intimidating RatRod. If that doesn't count as two let me know and I'll find more things for Pokya to do, but other than intimidate I'm not sure how useful she's going to be at these tasks.
Shadow of the Vault Lord || Extinction Curse
Just to keep things moving, the race will start Tuesday! Please post your fourth round action by then, or I will bot it for you.

I think I might be missing something on Piloting, but here are the modifications and intel I think we have:
Our racer:
kinetic weapon, energy weapon x3
+2 EAC
+2 on attack rolls
+3 on Piloting rolls
Can press the engine to double our speed for one round, but there is a 50% chance next round that our vehicle's speed is permanently reduced by half
Ratrod:
–2 to all rolls if we're, +1 morale if he’s ahead
Fast, high AC, has one energy weapon
Hitting him with an energy weapon gives him a Piloting bonus
Nyizin: fastest racer
Lemgem: doesn’t like Ratrod
Velocity: won’t attack us, and will finish behind us

The ship started with +2 piloting, and we boosted it three times, for a total of +5 (Null boosted it twice, and Rogers once).

Gotcha, I hadn't seen the initial or updated slides. Ignore my numbers, use Kate's!

I totally missed the remote control thing. Let's all just pretend Tuudak is using his remote inside a wind tunnel.

Is there anything we could do to aid Rogers's Piloting roll? Depending on how things go, we could potentially win in 2 turns by using the speed boost augment we got from Nyizin.
Shadow of the Vault Lord || Extinction Curse
I don’t think aids are allowed for this, no. Although the rules are simplified, it’s based on normal vehicle rules.
