Aquila Avatarus's page

Well, I don't have the books, and am currently "in between jobs" atm; but I can try and get the books and then I'd be willing to pick it up as the GM in a few weeks if there is interest in continuing.

I hadn't heard you had left the post office. Good luck finding a new job!

As we've barely started, it would not be the end if we call it. Nothing of the story has been really spoiled. Of course, if someone would take it over, I would gladly play.

But to let this drag on, and cause you more stress, would not be fair, when its very easy to stop the game at this point.

I hope everything works out and things will get calm soon.

I agree, wholeheartedly.

Aquila tries to decide what he should do next...

Suaco, if you are assisting with gunnery, you should use your pilot skill, since that can be used to shoot the guns. Your bonus would be ranks + DEX, and only require a DC10 check.

Aquila speaks up, "If the damned drones can so easily outmaneuver us, maybe we just start doing overrun attacks on them. At least that way we can get a second gun to bear! If we don't, they are just going to shoot us up."

Seeing as the crew cannot predict which shield will be hit, Aquila will balance the shields evenly again.

computers DC11: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

So, that means...
26 total shields, 3 per needed.
Starboard: 17

"Guess we need our shields regenerated!"

computers DC11: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
Aquila will rebalance the shields, as follows:
Front: 3
Starboard: 21
Aft: 3
Port: 3
This assumes that the engineering check repairs the 4pts of shield damage

"Hey, Choo! Why don't we see what we can do about increasing the range on these things, and just rely on our coil gun! All they have is light laser cannons, and forward arc only!" relays Aquila. "Should make the fight a little easier!"

"Ok, we have to do better than that." says Aquila.

What weapon shot at us?

Since we haven't been hit yet, Aquila takes the time to try and learn more about these drones!
scanning (computers) DC 5+(1.5 * enemy tier): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Even with that, he should get a weapon!

@GM for future, it is ok to just post what Aquila learns w/o a spoiler. He'll just relay

"Fast little buggers, but no shields, and not much of them. They are drones, so no crew. Don't know their armament, but they should go down quickly. Couple of coil gun shots should do it."

”Well, that is new...wonder where they are from” Aquila comments about the two tiny drones. ”How bad can they be?”

When he gets the chance he will scan the nearest drone to see what they are packing.
scan: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

Aquila brings up the scanners from his station.

computers: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

I’d argue that we don’t usually, need a captain. While the bonuses are nice, we could use science and engineering more than a captain. But, that’s just my opinion..

Aquila is equally comfortable at science and engineering.

She should be back? Where's that guide? ;)

I like it, either way.

I'll be working on an Ysoki something

Let me know if you, or anyone for that matter, is tempted by the Mystic devastator connection. I haven't looked at it in awhile.

where is that from?

I am still pretty open, too.

No real clue as to what I want to play.

Caveat, I already have an operative and a solarian, so am probably looking for one of the other classes. Probably a caster, as I said before.

No clue as to the character I will use, but I guess I'll need to create my -708 (I think, may be higher, based on quest runs).

I am assuming we'll want to be coming in with 0xp, and are doing this full on campaign mode?
