Gah, that's never fun! I'm not sure that chugging wasabi tea is necessarily the way to go, but, hey... you never know :)
Just dropping in to say that I will have limited access to the internet on Sunday and Monday, and that it'll be very unlikely I'll be able to post anything. If you are feeling better by then, there is a 'Bot Me' spoiler at the bottom of Raia's profile for both regular and space combat, along with basic aid another diplomacy checks for out of combat.
Look after yourself, Hmm!
Well, I just posted, and it isn't Sunday or Monday, so go for it!
Hmm
Hmm 1 - Illness 0
Woop woop :)

Passed that fortitude save i see Hmm ;)
Glad to hear you're feeling better again.
My fortitude is still not 100%. Parts of this cold are lingering and won't go away.

So... I am running into a dilemma. I want to move you forward today, but I have a convention coming this weekend and I'm not sure that I want to launch you into shipboard combat right before I go.
Do you guys want to get launched and then pause, or hold off until Monday? Your choice. I could go either way, and we might be able to finish this combat before I leave. It's hard to say.
Hmm
I'd vote to just keep on going. And pause when we need to.
I'm always of the opinion that some momentum is better than none at all so I second Eric's suggestion
Alrighty then!
Hmm

I'm happy to continue while we can. Make sure to let us know if you need time for more cold recovery/con prep Hmm.
I'm back and currently catching up on all the posts :)
Something have happen. I Don't know when i will be back.
Oh, I hope everything is okay!
Take care, Gayel... Do you want to be replaced?
Hmm
Not yet. Just bot me. At least for Three Days.
I hope things are OK Gayel.
Hopefully see you back here soon.
All the best Gayel, hope things work out
Take care Gayel, all the best.
I am going to put us on SkalCon hiatus until Sunday, unless I somehow magically find enough time to get a post in tomorrow morning. There is still so much prep to do.
My apologies, gang.
Hugs
Hmm
Prep away, and have fun!
Have fun at whatever SkalCon is (unless there's a typo and it's SkaldCon: mugs of beer, rage-songs...?!).
I'm running our GameDay on Sunday, here in Paris (a whole bunch of 8-99's).
Bon week-end !
SkaldCon is an accurate description of SkalCon!
Thanks guys
Hmm
Yay, we're back!!!
Had a good Con' w-end, Hmm?
And feeling all better?
I am feeling better, had a great weekend, and am now ready to roll us into combat!
Hmm
Welcome back! And straight into our (or mine at least) first space combat, woop :)
Yep, and I am trying to get you all right into it at warp speed! Combining Helm and Engineering made sense to me in order to move this along faster and get more people a chance to act.
Gunners, if you decide that you want to roll shots as gunners under spoilers for later, you may. Both you and the pilot should try to keep in mind the range of your own weapons, too. In your Aft, you only have use of your turret. On your Port and Starboard, you only have shortrange weaponry (5 hex range increment). Furthermore the laset net is a point weapon that cannot be used except within that tight 5 hex range. The front and turret are both medium range (10 hexes.)
Position accordingly!
Quick question, gunnery = just base attack + dex + any bonuses/penalties?
[BAB or Ranks in Piloting] + Dex Bonus ; then you factor in Computer bonuses (the floating +2s we have for 2 actions - Quig took 1, 1 still available), range penalty if any, and the possible other bonuses (Captain etc.)
Yeah thought so, thanks Eric. Obo has no ranks in PIloting anyway.

Who needs piloting when you have BAB! :)
Whee! We may get through a whole round of space combat today!
Hmm
If Altronus does not show in two hours, let's bot him.
Meanwhile, I think that I will do is just let gunners roll their weapon attacks under spoilers during the helm / engineering phase, and we'll apply the modifiers that come up when they come up. That seems to move things through more quickly, and allows everyone to act!
Does anyone know the answer to the cover issue? Purple missed anyway, but was he able to fire through an ally? I've been trying to find an answer and failing.
Hmm
|
HMM I believe there would technically be no cover as we are fighting in a 3D environment on a 2D field of view. I think the goblins would be smart enough not to get in each others way. But... they are goblins heh
At least I vaguely remember reading something along those line in the book at some point.
Even without a cover minus, he missed... Okay, I won't apply cover next time, just range!
Hmm
Everyone else: I think that this combined Engineering/Helm phase is working for us. Huzzah for experiments!

I too believe there is no cover for the reason Poblano stated. Never saw anything about it in the rules, and the only "non 3D" thing of the sort I saw are the rules about going through an enemy vessel's hex.
Yeah, I couldn't find anything either. It's kind of a shame because it could have made for some heroic moments with a pilot expertly manoeuvring to take the hits for a ship they're trying to protect, but totally understandable.
True, it might be quite a fun stunt :)
Anyhoo, I think that the Evade stunt is the one you're looking for in the gameplay thread, +2 to AC & TL on a successful check.
Evade is what I was suggesting, yes!
I will be out tonight and busy with work tomorrow so posting will be erratic.
Hmm
posting will be erratic
Quig is offended, and pouts.
Scout floats over and says: "Please say: 'posting will be erYsokic'...".

Keskodai looks at the Ysoki and decides to comment.
"I'm glad you didn't say that the term 'bugged' you. Shirren do not like that human phrase. he says with an obviously mischievous wink.
I just realised how completely wrong I was in my turn as far as shield count goes... It's a good job I failed my roll :)
Balancing the way you did, Eric, was definitely the way to go! Raya will have to remember to give Quig a hug when this is all over for staying cool under pressure and backing her up.
"Hugs hugs, hugs! Me like hugs!" says Quig.
Can GMs get hugs too?
Hmm
Hugs for everyone! :)
