Dr. Kuong heads to one of the weapon consoles. "Remember, we modified the turret to have nuclear missiles. We only get so many shots. Otherwise, the main guns are forward, and both are pretty powerful."
Lucius, the missiles, who do you want to shoot them? I figure since you slotted the boon you should pick.

Viper, I could not find any starship boons that you slotted. I have updated the Crypt warden with all the boons that are currently on there.
On backing up, I like it...it would only be 4 spaces, but it would have the missile launcher (inherit -1 to hit), the plasma cannon, the laser web, and both gyro lasers (with a -2 to hit)...that is a LOT of weaponry to bring to bear). With that said, level 6+ gunners, remember Broadside gunnery action. Though with 3 gunners, maybe it shouldn't be done yet....
In PbP Starship, as soon as the Engineering phase is open, Science can post.
Viper throws the ship in reverse, but the strange controls take a bit of practice, and the maneuver doesn't work well.
Jasper makes a quick scan: Diamond's Glow
This ship has a scrambled transponder. It's actual registration is encrypted. On a subsequent scan you can choose to unscramble it as one of the bits of information you receive for the roll.

I will fire whatever is left after Sev+. I don't know if he wants to do a Broadside for 1 RP and fire the turret and forward guns. If so, then I will take one of the gyro lasers. If he doesn't want to broadside, I will take whatever he doesn't fire

Sev+, just remember that to Broadside you have to use 1 RP, also remember that any XdY's that are a 1 can be rerolled. It doesn't have to be the whole set of dice, even individuals (like the heavy laser net).
Dr. Kuong fires both gyrolasers. Fire At Will is a Push action, can do it as long as the weapons are malfunctioning Attack (Starboard gyrolaser firing forward):1d20 + 8 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 8 - 4 - 2 = 5 Damage (gyrolaser:1d8 ⇒ 4 Attack (Port gyrolaser firing forward):1d20 + 8 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 8 - 4 - 2 = 8 Damage (gyrolaser:1d8 ⇒ 1
Edit: And 2 massive whiffs....wouldn't matter if I hadn't fired them both

Sev+, do you want to do the free shot with the heavy laser net at +12, or do you want me? You had control of it originally, so I feel it should be you. I will fire what is left again, and I think next round I will go help Bug in engineering.

Keeping track of damage to our ship when I post: F/S/P/A 0(30)/ 25(25)/ 25(25)/ 30 (30) Hull Pts 144/170 Forward Shields at ZERO. Damage to hull 26. Critical Threshold is 34, not a Crit...yet.
Dr. Kuong, seeing that Sev+ seemed to have hesitated on the Laser Web defenses, opens fire.
Broadside, spending 1 RP, going from Left to Right in Forward then Turret Heavy Laser Web:1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 8 - 2 = 8 to hit d20 +To hit -Broadside Heavy Laser Web Damage:5d6 + 1 ⇒ (1, 1, 4, 4, 1) + 1 = 12 Rerolling 1's Heavy Laser Web Damage:3d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 5) = 12 Total damage is 21 for Heavy Laser Web Plasma Cannon:1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 8 - 2 = 23 to hit d20 +To hit -Broadside Plasma Cannon Damage:5d12 ⇒ (2, 9, 5, 1, 3) = 20 Rerolling 1's Plasma Cannon Damage:1d12 ⇒ 5 Total damage is 24 for Plasma Cannon Tactical Nuclear Missile Launcher:1d20 + 8 - 2 - 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 8 - 2 - 1 + 2 + 2 = 19 to hit d20 +To hit -Broadside -Adhoc weapon penalty +Auto aid +Computer Tactical Nuclear Missile Launcher Damage:5d8 ⇒ (8, 2, 2, 4, 1) = 17 Rerolling 1's Tactical Nuclear Missile Launcher Damage:1d8 ⇒ 8 Total damage is 24 for Tactical Nuclear Missile Launcher
Since no critical damage happened, it is useless to help Bug right now (Divert can only be done 1 time per ship round). I could help Jasper, if he wants to spend RP to lock on or target systems, I could attempt to rebalance. Otherwise I will just stick with Gunner until we need a 2nd person in Engineering to patch us up
The Starfinders open fire! Flak Thrower:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18 One shot blasts through, but the missile is thwarted by the flak thrower.

Lucius, We have done 47 pts of total damage, though at least 10 or 20 of that has been on shields. So far Zero of the 2 missiles shot have hit, though apparently mine might have except for an amazing d20 roll on their point weapon. It is tricky to follow any space combat, though pbp seems to be more difficult. Maybe you should take over missiles for this round, Sev+ take the plasma cannon, and I take the Heavy Laser Web (or the gyro lasers).....?

Yeah, I apologize for not having a better system of tracking space combat. It's a bear via PbP. You guys are doing well so far though!
Jasper and Bugface frantically patch things up while Viper works to make for a hard target! The Diamond Glow backs up. Norys comes on the comms "After you're disabled, I'll incinerate every last one of your bodies!"Not a taunt, just fluff

Thank you for the update. Lucius can stay at captain, his bonus is less than Sev+’s after the cost for broadside.
During the gunnery phase
Lucius opens the comms to talk to the enemy ship. ”Ain’t gonna happen. But when we defeat you, it will be to the pain. You know what that is?”
Bluff to taunt, using computer:1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 2 = 15
The Diamond Glow's fancy flying makes the good Dr.'s shot miss, but the missile is dead on:
Flack Thrower:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15 the enemy misses and the missile lands! Big hit, not over CT though.

Bugface should hopefully do another Divert to Shields. That will give us 17 pts in the aft arc. Balancing would give us 22/21/21/21. Not a bad idea...though Jasper if you don't think we have gotten all the info we need from scanning that is also an option, or if you have 6 ranks in computers you can "Lock On" by spending 1 RP and making a hopefully a decent roll (DC=5+(7*1.5)+ enemy ships countermeasures), to give the gunners a +2 to all attacks this round--as we seem to be missing by just one or two points.

Uncomfortable only helping others, Lucius pulls up the computer systems on his panel, and starts working hard on adjusting the scanners to help the gunners aim.
lock on from FAQ wrote:
For the lock on action, the DC of the Computers check equals 5 + 1-1/2 times the tier of the target starship + its bonus from defensive countermeasures. 1 RP
computers to lock on:1d20 + 17 ⇒ (9) + 17 = 26
"Ok, guys, fire away!" yells out Lucius. "I've updated the targeting computer's subroutines, so they should lock on more easily!"
