Savage Worlds space combat play-test

Game Master ZenFox42

Yep! Just finished the enemy's ship's actions.

Statuses
Range = 1 * 10"

Ship's status :
+2 Gunner bonus (next round)
Soak 1 incoming Wound
+4 to be hit (RATN = 8)
+2 to Toughness

Enemy status :
-2 Piloting
+2 Boost Gunner
+2 to be hit (RATN = 6)
+4 to Toughness
2 Bennies

RATN is a spec that I invented, for when someone has a positive bonus to being hit by ranged attacks. RATN = Ranged Attack Target Number, which is usually 4, but changes when the target has a bonus to be hit by ranged attacks. Compare your Gunner roll value vs. the target's RATN to see if you hit.

That +2 to Gunner is for this round, right?

I'm going to target their reactor, if I can. If not, I'll got for the engines.

Gunner (Heat Ray, Designated Target, Going after a subsystem) v. Reactor: 1d8 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 2 - 4 = 51d6 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 2 - 4 = 2 *5* That's a miss.

A sharp, violent, vile curse comes from the gunner's station as the shot bounces off the shields.

"Y'know if you're just gonna keep pooping on all my awesome target-lockingness by always trying to give their forward nacelle a french vasectomy, Imma just try to mess with their locking instead.

I need job satisfaction too you know!"

Spoof!: 1d8 ⇒ 6
W Spoof: 1d6 ⇒ 2

That +2 to Gunner is for this round, right?

Yes. Sorry, posting the Statuses in the announcement for the beginning of the next round was confusing, but it was on a new page so I was trying to keep you from having to flip back and forth between pages.

The enemy ship tries to avoid the Spoofing :
Sensors & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 61d6 ⇒ 3

My house rule on ties on opposed rolls is that the *instigator* wins, so Kara succeeds.

Bryce shouts "I can also help Belter with his shots, if I've got nothing better to do, which for the moment I don't!"

Erebasto - you're up!

Statuses
Range = 1 * 10"

Ship's status :
Soak 1 incoming Wound
+4 to be hit (RATN = 8)
+2 to Toughness

Enemy status :
-2 Piloting
+2 Boost Gunner
-4 Spoof Gunner
+2 to be hit (RATN = 6)
+4 to Toughness
2 Bennies

Bryce adds "I can help Belter a little bit without affecting anything else, or help him more but another subsystem will have to suffer. Which do you want me to do?"

You can post replies in this round since talking is a Free Action.

I saw +2 to Gunner and thought it was to all guns

"Help Belter a little bit, and I'll light them up again!"

Erebasto tries to line up another graviton shot!

Piloting: 1d8 ⇒ 61d6 ⇒ 1

*8*

"Please and thank you," Belter says, his normal bluster gone with Kara's jabbing words.

The enemy pilot tries to out-maneuver Erebasto :

Piloting & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 41d6 ⇒ 6
Wild ACE!: 1d6 ⇒ 3 = 9

And manages to avoid Erebasto's attempted line-up.

Erebasto - the +2 to Gunner is only for Gunner rolls. Since you're using your Piloting for a Piloting maneuver, it doesn't apply.

Bryce says "Ok, I'm helping out Gunner!

Engineering & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 71d6 ⇒ 1 = +1 to Gunner next round
======================================================================

The enemy pilot tries to help his Gunner :

Piloting & Wild: 1d8 - 2 ⇒ (3) - 2 = 11d6 - 2 ⇒ (5) - 2 = 3 = no effect

Ops tries to Designate a target for the Gunner :

Ops & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 61d6 ⇒ 2 = +2 to Gunner next round

The Engineer tries to help his Gunner :

Engineering & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 11d6 ⇒ 6
Wild ACE!: 1d6 ⇒ 4 = 10, +2 to Gunner next round

The Gunner takes his shot :

Gunner & Wild, -2: 1d8 - 2 ⇒ (5) - 2 = 31d6 - 2 ⇒ (5) - 2 = 3 = miss

Statuses
Range = 1 * 10"

Ship's status :
Soak 1 incoming Wound
+4 to be hit (RATN = 8)
+2 to Toughness

Enemy status :
-2 Piloting
+4 to Gunner next round
+2 to be hit (RATN = 6)
+4 to Toughness
2 Bennies

Round 7!

Your ship : JD
Enemy ship : 9D

Everyone's up!

Gunner (Heat Ray, Boost From engineering, Targeting subsystem): 1d8 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 1 - 4 = -11d6 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 1 - 4 = 0 Miss

Belter goes very silent and fumes as his shot goes way wide.

Erebasto is still trying to line up another deadly shot and put an end to the lawdogs!

Piloting to line up a shot: 1d8 ⇒ 11d6 ⇒ 1

Nope. Nope. Nope.

Bennies 0/3 for reroll.

Piloting to line up a shot: 1d8 ⇒ 21d6 ⇒ 2

"Hey guys, is this whole 'fight for our lives things' getting kinda boring? Everyone just taking nappie naps now?"

Kara keeps trying to save the ship, doing everything herself.

As usual.

Spoofing!: 1d8 ⇒ 8
Spoofing ACE!!: 1d8 ⇒ 7 = 15!!

Wild Spoofing: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Sorry for dropping out for a few days, I got involved in a personal project...

The enemy's Ops tries to avoid the Spoofing :

Sensors: 1d8 ⇒ 61d6 ⇒ 4

So, -2 to Gunner roll next round.

========================================================================
Bryce tries to help out Belter :

Engineering & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 31d6 ⇒ 1 = Failure
========================================================================
The enemy pilot tries to help the Gunner :

Piloting & Wild, -2: 1d8 - 2 ⇒ (5) - 2 = 31d6 - 2 ⇒ (5) - 2 = 3 = Failure

Ops tries to help the Gunner :

Sensors & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 81d6 ⇒ 2
Sensors ACE!: 1d8 ⇒ 4 = 12, so +2 Gunner next round

Engineering tries to help the Gunner :

Engineering & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 41d6 ⇒ 6
Wild ACE!: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Wild ACE! ACE!: 1d6 ⇒ 5 = 17, so +3 Gunner next round

The Gunner takes his shot :
Gunner & Wild, +4: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 51d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 vs. RATN=8 is a Success (Shaken)

Erabasto - make a Piloting roll or go Out-of-Control (roll 2d6)

Statuses
Range = 1 * 10"

Ship's status :
Soak 1 incoming Wound
+4 to be hit (RATN = 8)
+2 to Toughness

Enemy status :
-2 Piloting
+3 to Gunner next round
-2 Spoofing to Gunner next round
+2 to be hit (RATN = 6)
+4 to Toughness
2 Bennies

Round 8!

Your ship : AD
Enemy ship : 4H

Everyone's up!

ALL - please see Discussion...

Piloting for control: 1d8 ⇒ 31d6 ⇒ 1

Out of control!: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 4) = 9

"FRACK!"

Not too bad, just a -2 to your next Piloting roll. But that doesn't matter, because...

Ok, so I'm "rebooting", which is to say that all current modifiers to both ships goes away, and only +2 Toughness Shield Pods are available.

While we're at it, the Shield skill is renamed to Ops, and "Ping/Designate Target" is renamed to "Lock on Target" (sounds much more like sci-fi TV shows and movies).

Everyone gets back their Bennies. The current Status is :

Statuses
Range = 3 * 10" (so Graviton Beam is -0 for Range, Heat Ray is -2, Ray Gun is -0)

Ship's status :

Enemy status :
3 Bennies

We can use the last Initiative above, so everyone post their actions!

Feeling a rush, Erebasto tries again!

Piloting to lock on target: 1d8 ⇒ 71d6 ⇒ 5

Belter goes for the engines.

Gunner (Ray Gun, Targeting subsystem): 1d8 - 4 ⇒ (8) - 4 = 41d6 - 4 ⇒ (3) - 4 = -1
ACE!: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
That's an *11* to hit 'em! That's a raise, isn't it?

Damage(Ray Gun, Raise): 2d6 + 1d3 ⇒ (5, 6) + (2) = 13
Damage ACE!: 1d6 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17
And that's *17* damage.

Erabasto, I think you meant "Line up a Shot". The other pilot tries to avoid it :

Piloting & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 31d6 ⇒ 5

So Erabasto, you can fire the Fixed Weapon next round with no penalty.

Belter, why did you use a d3 for the Raise damage? It should be d6. I'm going to add 2, for a total of 19 damage.

The other ship takes a Wound.

The other pilot rolls to not go Out of Control :

Piloting & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 21d6 ⇒ 6
Wild ACE!: 1d6 ⇒ 1 = 7, Success

Critical Hit: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4 = Thrusters
Piloting rolls incur a penalty equal to the number of Wounds.

Kara?

Statuses
Range = 3 * 10" (so Graviton Beam is -0 for Range, Heat Ray is -2, Ray Gun is -0)

Ship's status :
Fixed weapon, no penalty, next round

Enemy status :
Piloting -1 (until Wound is removed)
1 Wound (Thrusters)
3 Bennies

that was a typo.

Kara?

Apologies. Been working 14 hour days this week. Had a light day today, only 5 hours, so I'm just getting caught up now.

"They're powering up weapons captain! I'll lock on!"

Sensors Lock!: 1d8 ⇒ 5
WILD Sensors lock!: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Bryce says "I'm powering up the shields!"

Ops & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 71d6 ⇒ 5

So +2 Toughness.

The pilot of the other ship tries to get closer, so that his Gunner can fire the heavier weapon without a penalty :

Piloting & Wild, -1: 1d8 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 51d6 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4

So RI = 2, and the Heat Ray has no penalties.

The Ops tries to Lock on :

Ops & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 11d6 ⇒ 1

But he fumbles at the switches, and shorts out the sensors. He'll have to make an Ops roll next round to repair the damage (NEW RULE).

The Gunner takes his shot :

Gunner & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 21d6 ⇒ 6
Wild ACE!: 1d6 ⇒ 4 = 10, a Raise

Doing

Damage + Raise: 2d8 + 1d6 ⇒ (8, 8) + (3) = 19
Damage & Damage ACE!: 2d8 ⇒ (4, 6) = 10 = 29, 3 Wounds --> 2 Wounds (cap)

If the Wounds take effect :

Critical Hit: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 1) = 6 = hull hit, no special effects

The Engineer tries to fix the damage to the Thrusters :

Engineering & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 81d6 ⇒ 3
Engineering ACE!: 1d8 ⇒ 1

And the Wound is removed.

Statuses
Range = 2 * 10" (so no penalties to any weapons)

Ship's status :
Fixed weapon, no penalty, next round
2 Wounds (maybe)
+2 Toughness

Enemy status :
Ops is off-line
3 Bennies

Round 2!

Your ship : 4C
Enemy ship : 3D

Everyone's up!

Erabasto - I'd strongly suggest you spend a Benny to use Ace to Soak those Wounds before they take effect (Piloting roll - 0)! If any Wounds are left over after you try, make a (Piloting roll - #Wounds) or go Out-of-Control. If you do go Out-of-Control, your main Piloting roll will be at (-#Wounds - 2).

Seeing trouble beaming in, Erebasto retorts as he desperately tries to keep the ship intact with his moves:

"Oh no you don't!"

Spend Bennie for a soak attempt using Piloting. Bennies: 2/3

Piloting to soak: 1d8 ⇒ 81d6 ⇒ 3

Piloting Ace!: 1d8 ⇒ 2

*10* - Success with a raise! So no wounds I believe!

"Let's see how you like it back!"

Piloting to fire graviton beam, thanks to line up a shot last turn: 1d8 ⇒ 61d6 ⇒ 1

*6* - Success!

Damage: 3d8 ⇒ (8, 2, 5) = 15

Okay, so Kara rolled to get a sensor lock and looks like she succeeded. That's a +2 to gunner rolls, right?

Gunner(Heat Ray, Locked on, MAP): 1d8 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 - 2 = 51d6 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 - 2 = 3 *5*
Damage: 2d8 ⇒ (5, 2) = 7 *7* Damage!

Gunner(Ray Gun, Locked on, MAP): 1d8 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 - 2 = 61d6 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 - 2 = 1 *6*
Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 2) = 8
Damge(Ace): 8 + 1d6 ⇒ 8 + (1) = 9 *9* Damage!

Taking advantage of Kara's lock, Belter Blackjack swivels the guns about to line up on the ship and hammer away at it. Beams of searing energy spew forth and strike the ship, though not doing as much as Erebasto's shot.

"Great job Cornball! Now keep on 'em! can't let these Feddy Toadies get the better o' us!"

Okay, so Kara rolled to get a sensor lock and looks like she succeeded. That's a +2 to gunner rolls, right?

Oops, I missed that in the Summary. You're correct.

Erabasto's shot Shakens the ship, so the pilot must roll to stay in control :

Piloting & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 11d6 ⇒ 2

Out of Control: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 4) = 5 So -2 to Piloting this round.

Belter's shots, while they hit the ship, don't penetrate its hull.

Kara?

"Ha! I just detected a microrift in their boson force chamber. I think I've got a real chance to destabilize the aft neutron microfilament field!!"

Spoof!: 1d8 ⇒ 7
WILD Spoof!: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Whatever she's talking about, she's reallly excited about it.

Bryce says "I'm going to try and help out Belter!"
Engineering & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 61d6 ⇒ 4 So +1 to his Gunner next round.

The enemy ship's Ops tries to counter the Spoof :
Ops & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 51d6 ⇒ 6
Wild ACE!: 1d6 ⇒ 1

In case of a contested tie, the winner is the instigator, so -2 to Gunner next round.

The enemy pilot tries to help out the Gunner :
Piloting & Wild, -2: 1d8 - 2 ⇒ (8) - 2 = 61d6 - 2 ⇒ (3) - 2 = 1
Piloting ACE!: 1d8 ⇒ 8
Piloting ACE! ACE!: 1d8 ⇒ 2 = 16, so +3 to Gunner next round

Ops tries to fix his station :
Ops & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 41d6 ⇒ 6
Wild ACE!: 1d6 ⇒ 2 = 8 so Ops is on-line

The Gunner takes his shot :
Gunner & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 11d6 ⇒ 3 And misses wildly

The Engineer tries to get the Shields on-line :
Engineering & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 31d6 ⇒ 1 And fails

Statuses
Range = 2 * 10" (so no penalties to any weapons)

Ship's status :
+1 to Gunner roll next round
+2 Toughness

Enemy status :
-2 to Gunner roll next round
+3 to Gunner roll next round
3 Bennies

Round 3!

Your ship : QH
Enemy ship : 9C

Everyone's up!

"Line it up and light it up!", whoops Erebasto, as he tries to do just that once again!

Piloting to Line up a Shot: 1d8 ⇒ 31d6 ⇒ 4

*4* total. Iffy.

Belter continues to hammer away, ray gun and heat ray, at the foe!

Gunner (Heat Ray, Engi's Special Sauce, MAP): 1d8 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 1 - 2 = 41d6 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 1 - 2 = 4 *4*
Damge: 2d8 ⇒ (5, 3) = 8 *8*

Gunner (Ray Gun, Engi's Special Sauce, MAP): 1d8 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 1 - 2 = 41d6 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 1 - 2 = 4 *4* again?
Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5 *5*

The enemy pilot tries to evade Erabasto's maneuver :
Piloting & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 71d6 ⇒ 5 And moves out of Erabasto's line-of-sight

Belter's shots hit the ship, but don't penetrate the hull.
The idea is to roll *above* the average! ;)

Kara?

"Ha! I've locked down the variances in their transwarp descriminator!

Now I can progress the sub-space field stress and we're in like a banana split!"

Sometimes metaphors were lost on Kara.

Spoof!: 1d8 ⇒ 5
WILD Spoof!: 1d6 ⇒ 6
WILD Spoof ACE!!: 1d6 ⇒ 3 = 9

Sorry about the delay, work got the better of me there for a little bit...

The enemy Ops tries to counter Kara's Spoof :
Ops & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 71d6 ⇒ 2 So -2 to Gunner next round

The pilot tries to assist the gunner :
Piloting & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 11d6 ⇒ 6
Wild ACE!: 1d6 ⇒ 4 = 10, so +2 to Gunner

Ops tries to Spoof Kara back :
Ops & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 71d6 ⇒ 5 = 7

Engineering tries to raise their Shields :
Engineering & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 81d6 ⇒ 4
Engineering ACE!: 1d8 ⇒ 7 = 15, so +2 to Toughness

And the Gunner takes his shot :
Gunner & Wild,-2,+3: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 91d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Gunner & Wild ACE!: 1d8 ⇒ 21d6 ⇒ 4 = 11, either way

Doing
Damage + Raise: 2d8 + 1d6 ⇒ (5, 5) + (1) = 11 Phooey. Doesn't get thru Toughness.

Statuses
Range = 2 * 10" (so no penalties to any weapons)

Ship's status :
+2 Toughness

Enemy status :
-2 to Gunner roll next round
+1 to Gunner roll next round
+2 Toughness
3 Bennies

Round 4!

Your ship : 10D
Enemy ship : 5C

Everyone's up!

Kara - as soon as possible, please make an opposed Ops roll so I know whether you're spoofed this round or not, thanks!

"I'll get them!"

Piloting to Line up a Shot: 1d8 ⇒ 11d6 ⇒ 5

5 total

Waiting for the spoof result

"Oh no! We've got scampers in the Magnesite-nitron subspace flux!

I'll try to control the secondary warp polarity!"

Anti-spoof!: 1d8 ⇒ 6
WILD Anti-spoof: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Her fingers flash over the controls before anouncing, "Sorry guys, we've got unstable anomalies in the security photon pump."

Miffed that they anti-mojoed her mojo, she tries to re-anti-un-mojo them!

"Alright, Imma try to induce metaflaws in their paraphased phaser array!"

Spoof!: 1d8 ⇒ 6
Spoof: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Gunner (Heat ray, MAP, Spoofed): 1d8 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (5) - 2 - 2 = 11d6 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (2) - 2 - 2 = -2 *1*

Gunner (Ray Gun, MAP, Spoofed): 1d8 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (4) - 2 - 2 = 01d6 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (2) - 2 - 2 = -2 *0*

Belter lets out a curse as his targeting is off by miles.

Literally. He wasn't even aiming towards the right half of the ship thanks to the gremlins in the system.

Kara, I gotta say, you are *expert* at coming up with the pseudo-scientific babble like they used on Star Trek! I wish I could do that...

The enemy pilot tries to avoid the line-up :
Piloting & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 11d6 ⇒ 3 No -2 to fixed weapon next round

The enemy Ops tries to oppose the Spoof :
Ops & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 41d6 ⇒ 5 -2 to Gunner next round

Bryce says "I'm going to try and help Belter out!"
Engineering & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 41d6 ⇒ 5 +1 to Gunner next round

The enemy pilot tries to help out his Gunner :
Piloting & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 21d6 ⇒ 2 No bonus

The enemy Ops tries to Spoof again :
Ops & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 21d6 ⇒ 5

The enemy Engineer tries to help out his Gunner :
Engineering & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 11d6 ⇒ 6
Wild ACE!: 1d6 ⇒ 1 +1 to Gunner next round

The enemy Gunner takes his shot :
Gunner & Wild,+1,-2: 1d8 - 1 ⇒ (7) - 1 = 61d6 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5

Doing (see next post)
Damage: 3d8 ⇒ (5, 5, 2) = 12 Doesn't get thru Toughness

Statuses
Range = 2 * 10" (so no penalties to any weapons)

Ship's status :
No -2 to fixed weapon next round
+1 to Gunner next round
-? to Gunner next round (waiting for opposed roll)
+2 Toughness

Enemy status :
-2 to Gunner roll next round
+1 to Gunner roll next round
+2 Toughness
3 Bennies

Round 6!

Your ship : 4D
Enemy ship : 2S

Everyone's up!

Kara - as soon as possible, please make an opposed Ops roll vs. TN 5 so I know whether you're Spoofed this round or not, thanks!

As per the Discussion, weapon damages are now :
Nose mounted (fixed) weapon : Graviton Beam 75/150/300 4d8
Turret weapon : Heat Ray 20/40/60 3d8
Turret weapon : Ray Gun 50/100/200 3d6

With glee on his face, Erebasto takes the shot!

Piloting to fire Graviton Beam: 1d8 ⇒ 81d6 ⇒ 2

Oh yes!

Piloting Ace: 1d8 ⇒ 4

*12* total for two raises!

Damage with two raises: 4d8 + 2d6 ⇒ (8, 6, 2, 3) + (6, 4) = 29

I'm not certain if we're doing raises for damage atm. Ignore d6s as necessary.

Well thank YOU sir! Also, I thought we were making spoofed a -4?

"Oh boy, they've implanted anomalies in the paramagnetic subspace impellers. Lemme try to trim the focused computers with central entities."

Anti-Spoof!: 1d8 ⇒ 8
Anti-Spoof ACE!!: 1d8 ⇒ 8
Anti-Spoof ACE!!: 1d8 ⇒ 6
WILD Anti-Spoof!: 1d6 ⇒ 4

"Alright! I not only knocked out their spoof attempt, but I also accidentally came up with a formula to create the perfect lifeform. As long as I don't mess with that window we should be able to reproduce it after this battle!"

*immediately uses that window to look at funny cat pictures*

"Whoops! Ah well the lifeform wasn't -that- perfect anyway. Now let's see how THEY like it!"

Spoof !: 1d8 ⇒ 2
WILD Spoof!: 1d6 ⇒ 6
WILD Spoof!: 1d6 ⇒ 3 = 9!

"Oh hey! I accidentally found a formula to create a near-perfect lifeform. Apparently it's really cute for 18 years, but then it moves into your basement and just kinda...stays there. No other lifeform does that, right?"

Erabasto - I'm not sure if you rolled 2 d6's on the damage because of the 2 Raises, or because the first d6 rolled a 6. You only get 1 extra d6 on the Damage regardless of the number of Raises you got on the attack roll, but that d6 *can* Ace as usual. Also, your first d8 Aced, but it doesn't matter that you didn't re-roll it because of the 2 Wound cap.

Kara - I had updated my master document to change the -4 back to a -2, since in most cases the enemy opposer would be an Extra, and so a -2 was more reasonable. Then I referred to that document for this game, and used the -2. Yes, for this game, it's -4.

The enemy Ops tries to counter the spoof :
Ops & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 51d6 ⇒ 3 So -4 to Gunner next round

The enemy ship takes 2 Wounds (capped). The pilot spends a Bennie to use his Ace to Soak the Wounds :
Piloting & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 81d6 ⇒ 4
Piloting ACE!: 1d8 ⇒ 4 = 12 So all Wounds are Soaked

Belter?

Sorry! Still here. I was waiting on Kara.

Gunner (Heat Ray, MAP, Bonus to Gunner!): 1d8 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 1 - 2 = 41d6 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 - 2 = 3 *4*
Damge: 3d8 ⇒ (7, 7, 2) = 16 *16*

Gunner (Ray Gun, MAP, Bonus to Gunner!): 1d8 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 1 - 2 = 41d6 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 - 2 = 3 *4*
Damge: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 2) = 10 *15*
ACE!: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Belter whoops as both blasts land on the pirate.

"Take that! Ya mangy chicken!"

THAT'S more like it!

Belter's first shot "Shakens" the ship (not really), forcing the Pilot to make a Piloting roll or go Out-of-Control :
Piloting & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 21d6 ⇒ 6
Wild ACE!: 1d6 ⇒ 5 = 11, Success

Belter's second shot "Shakens" the ship (not really), forcing the Pilot to make a Piloting roll or go Out-of-Control :
Piloting & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 51d6 ⇒ 5 = 5, Success

Since ships can't really get "Shaken" (I just call it that for brevity/convenience), the "Shaken if Shaken causes a Wound" rule doesn't apply here...

The enemy pilot tries to help the Gunner :
Piloting & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 31d6 ⇒ 3 No help

The enemy Ops tries to help the Gunner :
Ops & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 61d6 ⇒ 6
Wild ACE!: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Wild ACE! ACE!: 1d6 ⇒ 2 =14, so +3 to Gunner roll next round

The enemy engineer tries to help the Gunner :
Engineering & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 21d6 ⇒ 1 No help

The gunner takes his shot :
Gunner,-4,+1: 1d8 - 3 ⇒ (5) - 3 = 21d6 - 3 ⇒ (4) - 3 = 1 Doesn't hit

Statuses
Range = 2 * 10" (so no penalties to any weapons)

Ship's status :
+2 Toughness

Enemy status :
-4 to Gunner roll next round
+3 to Gunner roll next round
+2 Toughness
2 Bennies

Round 7!

Your ship : 10H
Enemy ship : 6H

Everyone's up!

Some good spoofing and shooting, folks!

Erebasto likes the idea of getting the kill shot, so he tries to set one up.

Piloting to Line up a Shot: 1d8 ⇒ 11d6 ⇒ 3
