With the drones near, Hef suddenly cuts the engines and throws the forward maneuvering gets into full reverse.
*Beep, Beep, Beep*
Piloting DC 24 Back Off: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17
Well... that sucks. Nothing I could see to do was a lower DC though so, bad rolls are bad rolls.

Starship Actions ; Live Exploration Extreme!
@Hef: Short of any other abilities coming into play, everyone can take only one action per round. Maneuver is an action. A stunt is also an action. So the pilot can generally only do one or the other in a single round.
@Aldane: Unless I'm missing something, crits do not double damage in starship combat. Rather, it causes an additional crit threshold of damage.

"Particle beam back online... now."
Antennae slowly oscillating as he focuses on the target, Chk'tarlsh fires at the purple drone again.
(Taking one of the bonuses again. Please let me know if anyone else would like to use it in subsequent rounds).
Particle Beam: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 10 + 2 = 25

Krara hops into the starboard Coilgun and fires at the damaged craft.
Attack: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 10 + 2 = 30 for damage: 4d4 ⇒ (2, 2, 4, 4) = 12
I think the particle beam can only shoot forwards. Though between the two of you red's gonna be pretty hurt this round too.

I'm going to take a bit of creative license here because I believe Hef would have done this if he had remembered and if he was a bit more familiar with the starship rules. I know when I'm a player, I forget these bonuses all the time - in fact, I forget what boons I've slotted 95% of the time, much less what temporary in-game bonuses I get. I'm going to rework Hef's turn this round using his Agent's respite re-roll. Everyone else, keep in mind that you each still have a Agent's respite re-roll also available to you.
Hef Sadir wrote: "GORRAMIT SHE STALLED! GET THOSE SHIELDS BACK UP, WE'RE GONNA NEED THEM! GUNNERS HIT THE DAMAGED ONE IF YOU CAN AND TAKE IT OUT!" That strange goblin from earlier walks onto the bridge. Wait... what the?!?! Is there no security on this ship?!?!?
"Heya, non-greenskins!" he says, obviously ignoring the fact that half of the team (Krara, Sauros and Charles) are in fact green. He continues, "No no! Name's Handsome Gob! Not Gorrammit! Gorrammit is this other half-orc buddy of mine. But funny thing...people say that a lot when I'm around. I wonder why that is..."
Seeing the ship had stalled as a result of trying to back up, the goblin continues, "But anyways, watcha all up to? Y'know, this passenger ship will never get me to Verces if you go backwards like that! C'mon 'ere! Lemme show ya..." Gob walks up to Hef's piloting controls and gives it a swift kick!
The controls seems to come alive more so than before and Hef, confusedly, tries to work them again...
----------
Hef's Piloting Reroll, Maneuver DC24: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28
Hef succeeds in pulling off some tight maneuvers, pushing the ship beyond spec! Hef avoids the red drone straight ahead while bring the ship about to bring all of the forward weapons to bear on both drones!! Including facing purple's (hopefully) depleted fore shields!
I've moved the ship with a green arrow outlining the path taken.
----------
Handsome says, "Much better! Forward is better than backward! Well, unless you're in a fist fight with this big guy named Hi-C. Have you seen him? All muscle and non-stop snacking. But if you ever meet him and he wants to punch you, then go backward...fast!!"
Handsome takes another look around at the ship's internal signage. "Huh. Looks like you guys haven't named this Drake-class ship yet?? Well, today's yer lucky day! I can fix that too!!!"
The annoying goblin who's an obvious security risk somehow, oddly, begins to grow on you as he waddles over to another control console. A few swift keystrokes and you see that the internal AND external signage now display your ship's name as Gob's Serenity.
"Done!! Wake me up when we land at Verces, okay?" says the goblin as he walks off the bridge.
And just as he exist, he pokes his head back through the doorway for one more remark, "Oh and I'll take my first class pre-landing dinner meal in the luxury suite rather than the dining room. See ya!!!" The goblin then disappears into the bowels of the ship...

Round 2 Results
Engineering Phase:
Divert to shields, Engineering: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28 ; "Shields! On it! Might need someone to rebalance them... anyone??" exclaims Twich as she brings the forward shields back online. (10/25/25/25)
Helm Phase:
With the help of that goblin, Hef maneuvers the ship into position for optimal weapon attacks!!
Red Science Action: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26
Purple Science Action: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26
Red Piloting Action: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31 ; The red drone goes evasive! (AC23; TL22)
The purple drone executed a flyby, gaining a chance to fire on any one of Gob's Serenity's arcs!
Gunnery Phase:
Aldane's attack slams into red's port shields for 27 points of damage, taking down the shields and penetrating the hull!!
Redirecting Charles' attack to red because Krara intends to mop up purple with the lower damage weapon. And these are the kind of adjustments I take liberty with to keep starship combat moving quickly in PBP. Following Aldane's devastating attack, Charles' shot encounters no shield resistance as all 28 points of damage go straight to the red drone's hull!! 4d100 ⇒ (71, 15, 23, 75) = 184
Krara aims the coilgun at purple and the shot destroys the already heavily damaged drone!!
Red, having no weapon available to bring to bear on Gob's Serenity, does not fire!
Purple tactical nuclear missile: 1d20 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 9 + 3 = 27 ; 5d8 ⇒ (8, 1, 1, 1, 5) = 16 ; But before purple is destroyed, it launches a missile as a part of it's flyby attack, which hits Gob's Serenity's forward arc, taking down the shields and causing 6 points of hull damage!
Cumulative Damage Dealt to red drone: 55
Cumulative Damage Dealt to purple drone: destroyed
Drake Status:
HP: 79/85
Shields 100 (F/P/S/A): 0/25/25/25
Round 3 initiative:
Hef's Piloting, precog: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 13 + 2 = 21
Drones' Piloting: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28
The little drone that could has won initiative! Hef please go ahead and move the ship. As Hef may not be available, if someone else is available to take over and bot Hef's piloting, please do so - much appreciated!!!
Everyone may declare your actions and take your rolls!

Ignore this...I just missed one d100 roll...
1d100 ⇒ 95
Also drone's init is actually 24, not 28. But regardless no change to outcome.
As Krara said, things get complicated and missed all the time!

"WHOA! I totally didn't see that coming!"
Precognition for next round: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23
Female CN Vesk Envoy 6/Soldier 4| SP 0/104 HP 45/70 | RP 10/10 | EAC 26; KAC 27 | Fort +14; Ref +13; Will +11 (+2 vs fear) | Init: +6 | Perc: +13, SM: +7(+1d6+1)| Low-light vision| Resist Fire 5, Cold 5, Electricity 10
Krara will hop on the coilgun whichever is ultimately in the arc the last drone is and fire away at the remaining pest.
Attack: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 10 + 2 = 29 for damage: 4d4 ⇒ (4, 1, 2, 4) = 11

Vondal shoot again.
heavy plasma torpedo launcher: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Damage: 5d10 ⇒ (4, 6, 8, 4, 2) = 24
Active conditions: Life Bubble?, Bodyguard & In Harm’s Way | Male NG Kasatha Star Shaman Mystic of Kadrical 6 | EAC 20; KAC 21 (starlight?) | F/R/W +4/+4/+11 (+1 or 2 vs. Fear, 5 electricity resistance, +2 vs. Radiation, +4 Toughness) | Init: +2 | Perc: +16, SM: +14 | SP 54 (-0) HP 40 (-0) | RP 9/9 | Speed 30ft, Fly 20 (space only) | Spells 1: 6/6, Spells 2: 4/4, Stargazer 2/2
Oh dang, thank you for the assistance remembering that bonus condition. Excellent use of it. It also reminded me of something...
"Yes yes, forward iiis always better, isn't it. Forward for a BROADSIDE! READY THE CANNONS! PREP THE CHARGES! FIRE IN THE HOOOOOOLE!"
Hef kicks the ship into a full burn, looking to dart just past the front of the drone. At the very last second, he turns into a collision course, playing the most dangerous game of chicken known to space faring races. Does the drone blink? Does he? We shall see!
Piloting Stealing a Ship Bonus AND using a reward to do a Fly-By DC 24: 1d20 + 13 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 13 + 2 + 4 = 29
Zigvigix Reward to get a +4 on the check and an extra move hex. During the gunnery phase, Fly-By allows one arc of your starship’s weapons to fire at the enemy vessel as if the vessel were in close range (treat the range as 1 hex), against any quadrant of the enemy starship.
Starship Actions ; Live Exploration Extreme!
The red drone, nearly disabled but still alive and sputtering comes around for a flyby...
Red Piloting Action: 1d20 + 15 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 15 - 4 = 21
...and succeeds!!!
Red tactical nuclear missile: 1d20 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 3 = 19 ; 5d8 ⇒ (5, 6, 7, 1, 4) = 23
The red drone and Gob's Serenity exchange weapons fire. The drone misses you... But you successfully take down the drone!!!
The flyby success and Krara's attack clinches it - that will take down the red drone! Yay! That's one success!! Alrighty, we're going to fast forward into the next wave that approaches you!
Gob's Serenity Status:
HP: 79/85
Shields 100 (F/P/S/A): 25/25/25/25
3d6 + 5 ⇒ (1, 6, 4) + 5 = 16;1d6 ⇒ 5;1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 rounds later, another two drones approach your position from the port side!
The party have 5 rounds-worth of time to do anything you want. I assume Twich will bring the fore shields back to max. If there are any other actions anyone would like to take during those 5 rounds (e.g. balancing shields, etc.), please go ahead and post it and I'll apply it before we roll into round 8!!
Round 8 initiative:
Hef's Piloting, precog: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 13 + 2 = 20
Drones' Piloting: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34
The two new incoming drones win initiative! Hef please go ahead and move the ship. As Hef may not be available, if someone else is available to take over and bot Hef's piloting, please do so - much appreciated!!!

A burst of light accompanies the destruction of the first drone. The rush of victory is short lived, as two more of the furious machines immediately engage. The First Seeker’s abruptly speaks through the ship’s comm unit, “Don’t lose hope, Starfinders. Your friends have messages for you. I’m patching the first transmission through now.”
The upbeat voice of Zo! blares through the speaker. “Greetings, future mega-celebrities! My studio just released the uncut edition of your episode of Pact World Warriors. I’ve got enough fan mail here for you to create another Liavarian moon.” Zo! clears his throat and begins reading from the fan submissions.
“I heard you saved AbadarCorp execs on Castrovel from dangerous wildlife. Did you prepare a meal afterward just like in the Combat Cooking Extravaganza? You and Zo! should open a restaurant and call it Live Ingestion Extreme!”
“I looooooooved your season, oh em gees! Starfinder merch when? Just take my credits already!”
“It’s me, your biggest fan in the Veskarium. Here’s some pics of my pet squox’s litter. I hope it’s okay that I named them after you.”
“I’m only six, but I want to be a Starfinder when I grow up. How do I join?”
Zo! stops reading and remarks, “They’re all cheering for you. Oh, and if you take footage of your ongoing battle, I’d be happy to use that as promotional material for the release. Call me!”

Hef tries to throw the ship into a tight banking spiral and then accelerates towards the drones, "Focus on one again, you got this!"
Piloting to Manuever DC 24 + Stealing a +2 on any of the high DC checks: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 13 + 2 = 20

Round 8 Results
Engineering Phase:
La dee dum... everyone twiddles their thumbs...
Helm Phase:
Hef again pull some tight turns, bringing Gob's Serenity about and probably voiding any warranty years left on the ship!! (AC20; TL19)
Red Science Action: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20
Purple Science Action: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27
The drones make a bee-line for you and positions themselves straight-on head to head against you!!
Red Piloting Action: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31 ; The red drone goes evasive! (AC23; TL22)
Purple Piloting Action: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23 ; The red drone goes evasive! (AC23; TL22)
Balance Shields, Computers DC19: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (8) + 17 = 25 ; Seeing the drones position themselves to the fore of Gob's Serenity, Twich quickly rebalances the shields, moving as much power from aft to fore as possible!! (40/25/25/10)
Gunnery Phase:
Our heros seem to have gotten a bit overconfident as all three attacks from Aldane, Krara AND Charles misses!!
Red tactical nuclear missile: 1d20 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 3 = 14 ; 5d8 ⇒ (8, 2, 7, 8, 8) = 33 ;
Purple tactical nuclear missile: 1d20 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 3 = 14 ; 5d8 ⇒ (7, 3, 2, 5, 7) = 24 ;
Fortunately, it appears these drones were not rebooted after the mandatory software updates were downloaded because their target tracking mechanisms are WAAAAAY off as the missiles they launch at you come no where near you!!
Looks like Twich's shield re-balance was not needed afterall!

The crackle of static signals another incoming transmission. “Hello! Can you hear me?” asks a timid voice. “I’m Riika. You probably don’t remember me, but I’m one of the kiriintas you helped on Stabrisis-14. You inspired me to visit the Pact Worlds. I love it here. I even got a job as a researcher for an expedition studying the flora of the Liavaran moons. I came to Absalom Station on my vacation to personally thank you for expanding my horizons. I want you to know that even though I heard some nasty rumors about the Starfinder Society, I don’t believe any of them.”

to keep things moving, I'll declare a provisional action...
I'm not sure where everone will end up, but I'm going to guess it's likely rebalancing shields may be helpful.

BOTTING Hef Sadir
With the drones in that impossibly annoying position, Hef slows the engines and then pulls up the steering wheel preparing for the loop-di-loop. "Hold on, this one'll be a doozy!"
*Beep, Beep, Beep*
Piloting DC 24 Flip and Burn: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27
This time, Hef manages to coax the engines to continue with the stunt.
Alas, with both ships lined up like that, we're going to provoke one free attack, but everything I could think of would provoke that attack.

Suddenly, a squad of blue and gold starships emerges from the Drift, clustered like an honour guard around an impressive battleship. The massive ship glides into the fray and immediately disintegrates a group of nearby drones as it fires its powerful laser with surgical precision. “This is Stewards Overwatch battleship Steadfast responding to your call for assistance.”
Table GMs, the Stewards Support condition is now in effect.
“Buddies! It’s me, Hemlock, from the Xenowardens on Aballon,” a synthesized voice drawls. “We Xenowardens are totally grateful for your help with cleaning up the Ice Well. The ecosystem is finally back in its groove after you Starfinders shut down that shadow gate. Things are chill back on Aballon, but I heard you’re having problems with some corporate spin doctor. Don’t let her harsh your mellow, and remember, not all of us believe everything we read on the infosphere.”
