@Molly: Yeah, that's fine :)
I think that is the most times I have had to edit one post.
Yeah we were all going at it at once. I suppose it's a good thing though with so much activity.
3 or 4 really active players can really carry a game.
Indeed. I recall that in one of my games, four of the players and the GM were posting at about the same time for a couple of weeks, despite all of us being from all around the globe.
Notice to all, I'll be travelling again today, so I might not be able to get another post until tomorrow evening (or about 30 hours from this post).
I'm gone for half the day and this is what I get?
Tons of posts to read?!
Best birthday on Paizo ever! Keep up the great stuff! I'll be posting sometime today, most likely after Tujon's next post to advance it just by a bit! That is after the captains reactions to Tujon!
Dang it bishop, every time.
Heh. Two soldiers with egos. Who knew?

OK, I have to say this... Tujonvrek is so much fun! His posts are truly delightful to read!
Why thank you. Also yes, androids don't breath.
Hey all!
I'm travelling cross-Europe once again, and I'll be able to get a post up and running in about 16 hours.
For the sake of continuing, can we assume Caleb shares the information he's found regarding defenses and tracks?
We can run with that any information learned is shared automaticly unless you specify otherwise. I'm fine with either really! Up to you guys as a whole.
Just been a little busy! I will have a post up later today!
Hey, guys, sorry about the lateness with the posts, I landed and then I went down hard with the flu, so I was practically uncoherent for a couple of days. I'll get back on posting now that I feel like a human being again!
Apologies for the dead weekend! It was rather busy for me!
I removed the discord channel due to inactivity and lack of use. If everyone finds the lacking of the discord channel an issue, I will revisit the idea, but for now, lets keep things rolling here :)
Out of curiosity mostly, but is Canestor still with us?
Out of curiosity mostly, but is Canestor still with us?
That is a good question. Looking at the thread I only saw he posted twice and has been gone for a bit.
I'll send a PM, see whats up.
Just a note: it's very important for me that all players are active in the campaign, I kind of lost my patience for week long disappearances with no notifications. I'll let everyone know what I found out and see if I need to find a replacement.
I'm giving him a day to respond to my PM. If I get no response I'll make the adjustments necessary. I already have a replacement lined up.
Okay, so here is an update!
I let MrGompers - Canestor go, I have a post rate requirement and I didn't get a reply from a PM. I know its his first rodeo on the forums, but I can't let rules be broken.
On that note:
Welcome Snowheart! He's playing a Ysoki Technomancer! Im working with him how to tie him into the game without much interference, but he should be up and running within a day or two!
Hey all. Very excited to be joining you. Looks like you've got some strong RP going already which I love to see. Looking forward to joining you in gameplay soon!
Speaking of post rate. I will not be able to post again till Sunday... and probably won't get a good post in today as I have to sleep now. I meant to warn everyone earlier, but the lead up to Rosh Hashanah got away from me. Bot as needed.
Thank you Tujon! I will definitely bot you as needed, thank you for the heads up!
By the way, with Reskk on board and given his skills, methinks perhaps he should be the Engineer while Caleb takes up the Science Officer role?
I think that swap would work really well actually Caleb. It'll be a bit more distinguished and separated which would help balance the crew a bit more skill wise.
Hi Reskk. Good to have you.
Welcome! Shame to have the new player disappear, since it's always good to bring new people to the fold, but I agree regarding the rules.
I'll also not be able to post (long) posts during the weekend, but I'll be able to check in and make a contribution, and knowing myself, I'll end up typing 30 minute posts on my phone...
It stinks losing players. I'm running one game in which two people have suddenly disappeared. I'm hoping they come back because I'd hate to lose them.
Castor, happy to take the engineer's role if that works well. Quite by accident, looks like Reskk could make a contribution in anything except the captain's chair.
Vinsomner, I've made a couple of minor tweaks to Reskk's stats, specifically:
* Swapped out Magic Missile for Overheat
* Bought another toolkit (now has engineering and hacking toolkits)
* Bought formal clothing
* Deducted 25 credits for purchases
With that, I think Reskk is locked in unless anyone has some thoughts or suggestions.
Finally, post rate is not a problem. Right now the only issue I have on the horizon is Sept 30 - Oct 1 when we'll be out of town for our 10 year anniversary, and I'll post a reminder when we're closer to then.
I suggested it basically due to your having an Engineering skill modifier of +10 (while Caleb has a +7 to both Computers and Engineering), so for purely mechanical reasons. If you prefer the Science Officer seat, by all means. :-)
No preference here. Whatever works best! I've been playing a bit with the science officer role in a scenario someone else is running, so trying engineer would be fun.
If y'all trust Reskk enough to touch your ship... <_<
Half the crew's from Akiton now, incidentally. Sure I'll trust you more than those people who can't scrounge to save their lives. ^^
With half the crew from Akiton now, I'm thinking I'm going to have a special Akiton visit sometime when the campaign progresses. I think it would be quite fun!
Yeah, losing players sucks, but rules are rules and if you bend one, you'll bend them all. Can't set up that precedence.
Reskk, I'll have you your information that you will know of your starting location and knowledge soon. Just will take me a moment to write it all up! And your changes are good, and I think given the situation that it makes quite a lot of sense.
Also, thank you all for keep me up to date with it. I appreciate it and it really helps me plan around the absences so people don't end up missing the good bits!
Sure I'll trust you more than those people who can't scrounge to save their lives. ^^
Excellent. I'll put everything back where I found it (eventually). o:-)
"Resk, what are you doing to the drift drive?"
<In the middle of removing a highly valuable component>
"Um... testing the connections. See? When I remove this, there are no connections. Works perfectly. I'll just, uh, put it back now. Can you tell me where the computer core is? I need to 'test' something there, too."
Sorry I've been absent. I just got out of the hospital. I nearly dehydrated myself into some serious trouble. I will try to catch up.

Ok, I'm back. Give me a bit to get caught up and I will post tonight.
Welcome back! And no worries Jacob, hope your drinking lots of water now and staying healthy!
Water, gatorade, broth. That was my diet for two days. Glad to have a chance for solid foods now.
Ill be posting up tonight! Just having to set up something for the campaign!
Also Resk, you will be able to take some actions soon! So keep an eye on the gameplay!
Oh, I'm sure it'll all be nice and peaceful, and us and the fearless alien predators can reach a diplomatic understanding.
No worries. I'm ready whenever it's good.
I will be out of town for the next four to five days. I will try to post, but if I seem to be taking too long, by all means, DMPC my guy.
FYI - I'm going to be offline most of the next thirty-six hours. Have a great weekend!
Apologies for the delay in a post, I'll have one up tonight!
Apologies for the delay, yet again! Getting post up here in a moment.
I don’t have a lot of experience with google docs. Am I able to move my own token somehow on the battle map or should I just communicate my moves to the GM?
You move your token on the battle map, I trust everyone will make legal moves!
Sorry it took me so long to post! I got an unexpected job offer half a country away and I was absent. Getting headhunted (in that particular meaning of the word) feels good, though!
Congrats! It is a nice feeling! Hope it's for an interesting job!
So I have been reading up on rules for Cover since it will be more prominent in Starfinder. I just need clarification on two points. First, using an ally a size category bigger than me for soft cover will give me the +4AC bonus but also gives my target the bonus as well?
I chose to lay down Cover Fire which is just a DC 15 check rather than against the enemies AC so it won’t matter for that action but I wanted to know going forward because I like the idea of using the captain as a bullet shield.
Congrats on the job offer Molly! I'm currently hunting for a new job myself and am waiting to hear back from some companies! It does feel good to be head hunted though!

Soft cover only gives the person, you in this case, the +4 to AC. it does not grant you the reflex save though when using hard cover.
Soft CoverCreatures, even enemies, between you and the source of an effect provide you with cover against ranged attacks, giving you a +4 bonus to AC. However, soft cover provides no bonus to Reflex saves, nor does soft cover allow you to attempt a Stealth check.
So you can use Tujon as a meaty shield actually and the enemies do not get any bonus's from you doing so!
