Over the open comms:
"Leviathan here, I'll be breaking orbit shortly. Once Farmboy docks I'll be ready to sync up hyperspace jump coordinates. Sending my IFF codes in case this incident put us on someones radar."
Docking DC: Last I checked it was only a DC 15 to avoid a collision while docking, I'll leave the actual DC to the GM though. I do not have a tractor beam, so it has to be done manually.
"I got a transport floating a league or two off shore, she's got room for a starfighter in her bay too boot, if you want to save some fuel. She can outpace starfighters, so speed isn't an issue."
I fI could make a request today, it would be for a more descriptive battlefield, area around me, what is available, cover, difficult terrain, possible hazards, usable features, etc. :)
Jern calls on the force and answers does the force. Jern feels the whirlwind of force blast forth with power he has rarely if ever felt.
The walker crashes to the ground with a thunderous roar. Sliding on the pavement the walker stops just short of the warehouse behind it, almost crushing the riders.
Hunter: I will let you modify your course of action if you want. You can try to attack the riders and take over or attack the walker to keep it down.
GM: If it's toppled, just change my target to a rider. I'd rather put one down for killing innocents. Besides confiscating a walker and stowing it in my ship is an interesting idea, and I never fault the tool just the animals using them.
Seeing the walker fall, he changes his target to one of the toppled riders striking out at one as he delivers payback.
Standard/Move action:
I'm going to use the the move action to position myself, if necessary, to get into melee range with the walker and the Charge action to stab at something vital on it's legs.
Hit Roll: [19,8] = (27)
Damage: [6,1,4] = (11) -2 Ref until my next turn.
No complaints, I was more feeling out what the posting schedule was going to be. :)
No hidden meaning was there. I think we're all happy to be gaming finally.
So far I enjoy that your running with the HUD and would otherwise be fluff parts of my characters armor. Just assuming I had a HUD, and I do, even though it really has no in game effects beyond RP fluff, was cool.
Hunter takes a flanking position next to the farm boy. Flipping Dannie his blaster pistol, Hunter takes a two handed grip on his oddly modified Vibroblade.
"Like I'm going to let a nerf herder cover my retreat. Dannie, Heads up, Pistol. Cover me if I can't get a bead on something to cut."
Out loud: "I figure my armor can take a few shots from a walker, but I'm not getting in the way of it for any of you. I suggest we leave through the back door pronto."
Through his Comms to Danni: "Dannie get in here, we got wounded to drag."
What are you trying to shoot for posting wise as the norm? I usually pop in and look for updated posts but it's been a week now, and after a painfully slow start up process, it does not feel this game is moving anywhere.
I'm certainly going to use the blast to my advantage and draw my Vibrosword and pistol. Though I wont yet point the barrel at anyone in particular yet.
The droid stares at the two humans and the droid (if still active). "this is Sith business. You may leave, now, if you value your life. My master can summon eight of his allies otherwise.
Yikku nods angrily and ominously holds up ten fingers.
"Sorry, scratch that, ten."
Deception 1d20+0=17, +2 from Yikku's Aid Another (1d20+2=22.)
Do or do not, no "If's" please. It makes it hard to understand what to post in reaction to what's going on.
Hunter looks almost weary, but trudges forward putting his can [helmet] back on his head and sealing it. He steps up to where the commotion is starting and a ...Jawa of all things making some noises.
Interested he signals Danni to hold back and watch his back, as he gets closer to the Cantina.
Jerrn Darklighter smiles in return at a mysterious woman, T'ilaqua enters the bar taking in the scene, Yikku and his droid sit at a table where the bartender notices and nods meaningfully in their direction,
Xarra quickly checks herself for property loss after the twilek theif is thrown out, and Hunter Var is approaching the cantina with Dani in tow……
Bursting into the catina are three men and a droid. Two of the men are wearing rugged attire and are heavily armed; the other is wearing a fine suit. The droid is of the combat variety and is armed to the vocabulator.
One of the men grabs the bothan barkeeper by his goatee and yanks him over the bar and onto the floor at their feet.
“Time for you to come with us!”
The other one proceeds to kick the bothan repeatedly while the droid announces that its time to leave.
The man in the suit seems to be somewhere else mentally but snaps back when the droid advises departure. He smiles and announces drinks are on the house. And with that they turn to leave……
Yikku stands up. "I2, get between them and the door. Do not attack lethally unless the do." He says, and I2 hurries over, staff out, and stands threateningly in front of the doorway.
The jawa himself pulls something out of his pack and walks over until he is behind the men and the droid. "Let the man go and leave this bar. Now." He says calmly. People watching closely can see he is holding an ion grenade.
OOC: pssst...Jawa's can't speak anything but Jawa, due to a lack of sophisticated vocal chords similar to Wookies... Unless you have modifactions mind you, for now I'll assume I hear your chirping language unless it is in fact basic. [I didn't peek at anyone's char sheet, so I could be wrong.
Hunter changes directions and makes his way to the cantina. Any establishment kicking out a Twi'lek on her ass might prove to be an interesting atmosphere.
The starship Leviathan lists lazily towards the purple planet. After a short time it rockets into the planets atmosphere and makes trajectory to one of the seaside starports, instead of landing at the dock it skims the surface of the water and slowly comes to rest partially submerged as it continues now sailing close to shore. Hisses of steam escape the still heated metal panels of it's exterior which quickly cool in the sea water.
Two armored figures in distinctive T-Shaped visors climb out of the topside access hatch, sealing it behind them with a few clicks from a wrist mounted computer.
The two people then dive into the sea and make their speedy transit to dry land by way of their powered armor.
Stepping on to the shore they crack the seals on their helmets to reveal their faces, a human male in his thirties and a young woman, a Zeltron, with a red tinge to her skin and deep blue hair tied behind her head in a long pony tail that somehow fit under her helmet.
They make their way inland and towards the starport area rather nonchalantly.
Garqi- Garqi was an agriworld and the sector capital of Tadrin Sector, in the Outer Rim Territories. Natural elements in Garqi's crust gave the native plant life a purple coloration. From space, the planet appeared a beautiful, hypnotic violet color. It was the source of the beans used to make caf.
Question: Whats the political situation like, recent events, etc, that I can tie into my immediate plans. If this planet is Sith controlled I'll need to make a few starting adjustments to what my reason for being there is.
Put me down as good to go, I'm not modifying my character, I kinda like him, And if i ever get more time I'll post the ship stats sometime once I type it back out.
I like saga edition for star wars as well. 4e however...eh, my play group refuses to talk about it. It isn't our style, we're happy to stay 3.5 and paizo's new system.
I "think" this character sheet is all done, I will re-check it later. If it is I'll move onto the starship stats and get both into excel files for ease of use.
This char sheet will be linked to me profile as well.

Appearance:
Hunter wears full Mandalorian armor. The T-Visor glows electric blue, and it's lines accentuated with silver and sea colors ranging from deep blues to foamy greens. The left shoulder piece have a motif depicting a great sea beast crashing through white-capped waves. The rest of the armor has been coated a uniform matte black.
On his left hip, in a black leather holster, is a standard blaster pistol. And on his right side, a blackened vibroblade. In combat Hunter can be seen wielding both akimbo, blasting those to far enough away to cleave with his blade.

I'll take some piloting skills then...and try to buy an old Jedi Starfighter, and an astromech droid. (wonder if I can afford all that...)
Internal hanger bay is a min. of a frigate sized, which is a stock minimum of 500k, I cannot afford that sadly. The freighter has 100 tons of storage space though, is there some rule for converting that to hold a single ship of your size? I suspect this is possible, example Mara's Jade Shadow transport ship. But I don't see a rule for that under construction. (and suspect it wont be there due to it being a GM call.)
The wording makes me think this is for big ships that hold many tie fighters, but I could be wrong.
GM: What are we starting with for cash at level 5? This may help me get the ship I want to build, also, are you allowing the "loan" rules if a ship may be out of my range. It has a method to get a ship and owe money monthly as you pay it off.
Everybody please post your characters here, for my ease of use.
Reporting for duty.
Ka'nath:Not that I'm being a stick in the mud, but you bought a lot of gear, how did you afford so much? I had to go 'wealthy' and didn't get close to what you have in gear prices. Did I miss a trick to start with more cash?
Here is my WIP character, a Military(on extended leave) Field Medic with some pilot skills. I've been using Invisible Castle for all rolls, starting cash, license checks for my gear, etc. I still have some more fleshing out stat/gear wise, and tonight I'll get to work on the actual backstory and habits of this chap.
