Revenge
OOC: The “G”s were automatically reformatted from boxes you could check.
Don't care that much, dude. I'm not spending tons of time reformatting your documents.
OOC: Judging from the fact that "Fire At Will" is a thing, I think gunnery stations aren't weapon specific. Of course it's up to Rando.

OOC: I envision a gunnery station looking like a flight simulator, with the ability to call up weapon emplacements all over the ship.
(Fire At Will is on p.324.)

I see your point, but I've always envisioned at least the turrent kind of like the guns on the Millennium Falcon; requiring a gunner to be there. However, I'll allow the gunner from the turret to access the lasers remotely, so it's pretty close to the same thing.
No standing at shakey consoles as the ship is tossed and battered? Instead, we get the moving leather bucket seats? Sweet.
...Lowest initiative moves first...? What?

"2. Helm Each starship’s pilot attempts a Piloting check. The pilot with
the lowest result must move his starship first, followed bythe next lowest, until all starships have moved."
I assume this gives the faster ones the most discretion.
Also see my house rule in the Gameplay section though. I'm allowing the highest initiative (which wasn't you, this time) to choose first movement or allow the loser to move first for tactical advantage.
It occurs to me we'll need to pause before the gunnery phase to allow Quinn time to take her action.
OOC: Guys, how about granting Vera the power to override Lockout? (Sorry if this is repetitive.)
I don't care.
*Sighs, rubs his forehead* Happy to here your cat's recovering. I've been out of sorts these last few days myself because one of our dogs was having issues. Conversely though, she didn't recover. We had to take her to the vet for the last time yesterday night.

Ouch. I know what it's like to lose a cherished pet, particularly when he/she lingers first. I hope you gradually feel better.
Take care of yourself, Esh.
As for the lockout thing, I think it would make sense for Vera to override the lockout on Quinn's order.

I like that.

That's rough. I lost a cat earlier this year. May her memory be a blessing.
OOC: The one almost nice thing with the cat I lost to cancer was that he waited for me to get to him in the hospital before he gave up the ghost.

Cancer can, as a whole, go **** itself in the face with a chainsaw.
Okay, got Quinn updated on her character sheet, pretty sure I got the numbers right, need to fix it though here I forgot about the 1st level race bonus.
Just thought of something funny I should do... Quinn should teach everyone Mandarin so we can have a secret language. Haha.

I have a slot for language open. :-)

Hao le! (好了)
Um, Ni hao?
Suppose one could be up or down relative to the galactic plane, but otherwise not much difference.

Well a planetary gravity well is a frame of reference, even once you're in orbit.
Okay then, Mandarin lessons begin our next downtime!

Whoo, time to play Jayne Cobb.
...I'll be in my bunk.
That's Encourage. What happened to Demand?
You know, I gotta be honest. I juat plain find the "space battle" aspect of this game to be kinda boring and monotonous. Coupled with the fact I understand the rules for it fairly poorly. Maybe it's more exciting in live sessions, I don't know.

Might be. Also science officer is less exciting than piloting and shooting stuff, for most people. You're rolling to give someone a bonus. Everyone except the gunner and the pilot is basically a bard or cleric, by comparison.
That said, it's kind of fun from my perspective, having control of so many ships.
Being a GM is always fun, can't fault you tgere. I'll try to give my science officer posts a bit more life next time- and uh, actually make them.

Rando?
Not sure what your question is here.
Rando, you mentioned that they applied a revision to the Captain's action Encourage. I was wondering what happened (if anything) to the action Demand.

"For the demand action, the DC of the Intimidate check equals 15 + 1-1/2 times your starship's tier."
I'm afraid I may be unavailable for Saturday and Sunday, as I have a family emergency to go and help with. Sorry if it causes a delay.

Take care of yourself and your family. Hear from you when you get back on.
Piloting for initiative: .
I'm heading out of town this weekend, will have limited time, if any, to post. So if you don't see anything for a few days, don't worry. I'll be back at it next week.
Is there a way for me to get shields back up where we just lost them?
You can redistribute again like you did last round, though they're getting slim all the way around. Right now, you have 4 Forward, 3 Port, and 3 Starboard. Boosting them will require Otis to succeed at a Divert check, which he just failed the 2nd round in a row. He only needs a natural 7 or better, but the dice are not his friend right now.
Note that it is Helm Phase, so this would be when Esh would act, if you'd like to try that.

So good news my car is fine, the mechanic got it started just fine. So weird.

So the bad news if you need to take your car to an exorcist? Which is probably expensive. Not everyone gets a family discount...

Especially if you live in a multi-cultural area. You might have to throw a Rabbi, a Catholic Priest, a Korean Shaman, an Imam, a Medicine Man and who knows who else at it before you get down to the problem.

Actually good news... I called my friend when the car yet again wouldn't start because I knew my cousin was annoyed and I don't have the money for towing anyway so I prayed it would start so at least I could drive it home... but he'd said that he would come by in the morning and see if we could jump it, and if not he'd have it towed to his house. Well, it started so I decided to drive it to his house, and then got a ride home. After a few days with the car, he realized what was going on.
See, the car starts fine. I drive it, I park. I go in the store, I return and.. it won't start. Next time, it starts fine but as soon as I turn it off, it won't start again. So, he got a stopwatch and timed it. 20 minutes after the car is turned off it will start. Once. Then you have to wait another 20 minutes. After some Google Fu, he figured out it's the crankshaft sensor. So, as a birthday/Christmas present he bought a crankshaft sensor for my car (not all that expensive) and installed it for me... and lo and behold the car starts and restarts just fine. :P
Now, the question you might have is, why didn't the mechanics do this? Because mechanics rely on their code sensors to tell them what is wrong with a car and the crankshaft sensor doesn't throw out codes. The car starts, all the codes say everything is working... no problem. So, they turned off the engine and called us to say "Yep, we started the engine just fine, no bad codes" then by the time I got there to pick up the car, it'd reset and started fine for me, which I then drove home and went inside my house until a few days later when I went shopping again and didn't take enough time for it to reset, so yet again it won't start... but it's finally fixed. Yay.

...hey, we have the plot for the next section.
