Hello all!
Welcome to the game.
I hope it will be enjoyable for all.
Please tell me if, and whenever, you have any questions or doubts or whatever.
NOTE: please tell me if you have issues with seeing certain colors etc. (for the slides).
As we prepare, you can have a glance at the Gameplay tab, and refresh your knowledge of the Gap, Drift etc..
Then start posting, as you arrive in the meeting room.
Good game to all!

Thanks for the bump, all Id's pre-boon info should be up in the slides now. Id's starship modifiers are:
Id's probably best equipped to be the Pilot or a gunner. I'll put him in as the Pilot for now, but if we get a better Piloting modifier they should take the Pilot's seat and Id will switch to a gunner.
EDIT: I prefer mobility, typically, but we seem to be getting some strong subtext that firepower is preferred. I vote we take the Drake.

Boons Slotted:
Ally: Field Trainee
Faction: Improved Second Seekers LE
Starship: defender of the fleet (finest computers to give the ship +1 to computers checks
Social: Instructor (replaces day job)
Personal: Scoured Stars Survivor (You survived the events of the Scoured Stars and they’ve impacted you, or
you’ve passed this information onto someone who has learned from your experiences.
When you slot this boon in your Personal Boon slot, once per day as a free action, you can reduce the number of Resolve
Points required to stabilize by 1 (to a minimum of 0 RP.) When you use this ability to stabilize, you also immediately gain
1d6 Hit Points for every 2 character levels you have.)

Quite a bit of travel on the docket coming up: this weekend I'll be going to Michigan for a wedding, then on the 2nd I fly to Ireland for a two-week performance tour through the 15th. I'll have my computer and will do my darnedest to keep up with all my games, but if posting becomes brief, slows down, or stops during this timeline that's why. Bot me if necessary. Sorry for the inconvenience!

So I'm guessing we've got starship combat coming up? I think our current layout is:
Maybe swap Id and Goose (Goose has 2 higher on Piloting, Id has +11 gunnery)?

Team - for the starship combat, I strongly recommend we focus on the dragon's ship only.
The other ships are hijacked. They have non-combatant people inside.
I would hate to kill unsuspecting bystanders if we can avoid it.
I am working on getting the bystander ships out of service as quickly as possible.

Agreed.

Just to boost your Ego a bit more: there is no 4 player adjustment here...
Awesome...for now. Would rather have heard that after we mopped up. :D
I believe everyone has acted.
Jim shot at the main ship.
I attempted to shut down #1 freighter and fire the last missile on #2.
Id evaded.
Drakzul got back shields.
As far as distribution of shields, it makes sense to put them on the port side to bring them to 17. The other one missing some shields is at 16. Fairly even distribution for now.
Just pushing things along. :D

Quick Draw is really for weapons (only talks about weapons in its text).
I would somewhat agree except for the wording in the backpack:
...allowing you to retrieve the object as if you were drawing a weapon. In addition, you can stow objects of 1 bulk or less in the pack as if you were sheathing a weapon.
I am reading it to match but you are reading it only as an example of a similar action.
I will post on the forum to see what other's think.
Thanks for the feedback.

@Goose:
• Tumbling is a move action (not something you do, and roll for success/failure, while moving).
And Trick Attack is a full action (thus you cannot take any other actions, such as move actions at the same time) in which you can move up to your speed.
Thus you cannot try to Tumble through the Vesk guy during your trick attack's move.
• The same for drawing your weapon while you move as part of the trick attack. Some full actions, like Charge, specify that y ou can draw a weapon during a charge attack if your base attack bonus is at least +1.
• I imagine that since you are doing a bunch of other things (not provoking etc.) as a full action, you cannot add these other move actions thingies...
• Anyway, remember that--:
DC = 15 + 1-1/2 × the opponent’s CR. My skill check beats CR 9 and below.
--is incorrect, I think.
In Tumble, under Acrobatics, it gives the base DC as 20 not 15.So your skill check would have beat CR 6 max'.
• If I were you I'd check FAQs and the boards to see if there is anything about this, since I imagine people want to Tumble and such while moving w. Trick Attack, but I'll go with what is written re. "moving up to your speed in a Full Action" vs. "Move Actions"-- thus tell me where you want to move instead of going through the Vesk.
You still hit even if you do not move from where you are (though there is a bit less panache!).

No, I believe you are right. Using the Acro skill is a move action on its own.
DC 20 is to move through the square. DC 15 is to move directly around that square.
Thanks for the clarifications.
Based on the research, I can't see how an operative could move directly through an occupied square. Around it could happen with Uncanny Mobility with no AoO, but not through.

Headed to GenCon tomorrow through Monday, bot me as necessary during that time. If the dragon pops up, assume Id throws all his mind thrusts at her starting with his two remaining level 3 slots and working down (he has Combat Casting, Improved Spell Penetration, and Spell Focus), then uses his S-band pistol to attack with fire. He'll pause to keep folks alive with mystic cures if needed.
