Automatic I believe. That's in the starfinder cheat sheet Kludde linked earlier.
You do not need to confirm critical hits. If you roll a natural 20
and the total exceeds the enemy's AC, you deal double damage
and also inflict any additional effect listed in the weapon entry
(such as “knockdown” or “burn 1d6”). See page 245.

Mostly, only Crits on an Natural 20 (weapons do not have extended ranges).
The crit auto-confirms as stated above, if you could hit the enemy with a 20 + your bonus.
Then you do x2 dam' (and count all bonuses before the x2).
A bunch of weapons also have special crit' damage (for example applying Burn, which does 1d4 each round...).

Still learning, without a book I might add (hence the premade character)
It seems however that restoring shields only goes up to max shields amount.
Diverting shields from one quadrant to another does not have that limit, allowing a quadrant to have more than 25% of the total shields. Thus putting 10 points to the forward shields, plus the 5 remaining, ups the shields in that arc to 15, rather than the default 10.
Besides, who ever is the engineer can restore all the lost shields on their own, no need for two of us to do it. (5% of 150 is 7.5, 7 points f shields are restored when that action is taken).
If I restore shields, all I would do is bring front arc back to 10, instead of higher.
I had missed only being able to do one arc at a time though. That seems kinda of odd to me really. And if you really go for that rule, then at the very least there should be an option to minimize all shield arcs and place all the available shield points on one arc as a single action.

Okay, the stats say we only have 40 total shields, 10 of which are on each arc.
Cutting my re-balance into two parts (since I didn't realize I could only deal with one at a time), first part (last turn) would put 5 points from port into bow, resulting in port = 5, bow/starboard/aft = 10.
Part 2, (this turn) shifts from aft to bow, resulting in port/aft = 5, starboard = 10, bow = 15.
I'm having quite a busy period at work, so sorry if updates are a bit infrequent and succint. Trying my best to keep a regular schedule, but larger setups can be delayed a bit.
Tried 3 times to post and it isn't working. I click submit and I get preview.

Hello!
I will be flying out on Thursday, Oct' 5 (tomorrow) and then back on Monday, Oct' 9, and will be out in the Romanian countryside in between those dates.
I've arranged to have Internet access, so I should be able to post a couple times a day.
But I am giving this warning, so, in case I go dark, it'll be because something went wrong, so just bot me for those days if it happens.
Hello! For the upcoming 'S1-00 Claim to Salvation' game, my preferred lvl 4 pregen would be the soldier. My secondary preference would be the envoy.
Please let me know if there is any other information or prep needed from me before the game starts.
And just a FYI, I'm a beginner to PBP and very, very new to using Paizo forums.
Looking forward to the game!
Hullo Claim to Salvation folks! I'm interested in all the classes so I'd be happy to play literally anyone. If I had to state a preference, I'd go for Solarian or Technomancer, or maybe Envoy. Mechanic could be fun too. I guess I'll wait and see what the other people checking in want to do.

Hello all!
Tomorrow morning I'm off to Austria. Will be working a few days outside Vienna, and then moving to Vienna for a couple nights.
Should have Internet all the time, and be able to post twice a day, but, since I'm travelling for a week you never know what might wrong: in case I disappear that'd be the explanation.
Ahoy Claim to Salvation folks! My preferred pregen is envoy, but I'll also take soldier or mystic.
Okay, I have the following class choices and a good opportunity to make a list (you know how I like making lists)
---
Bigboom - Soldier
AH - Technomancer
Ellinnea - Solarian
CW - Envoy
Nomanai -
Zizazat -

Hey, welcome on board. One of the advantages of PbP is that it's slow enough to allow you to google something, so don't worry too much about prep. It is genrally helpful if you put your character in a board alias, and put you main stats in the character description (if you edit your character's profile, you can put in 'Gender' and 'Class', and those entries can contain a lot more info that just gender and class).
One thing to maybe keep in mind: I've linked this discussion thread to several games, so players on at least four tables can see what is being posted here. That makes for a nice discussion platform, but please bear in mind not to post any spoilers for your game to this thread (the gameplay thread is fine, of course)
Do most people make a dedicated alias to use for pregens? I want to come up with a clever name for one but I've got nothin.
This is my Navasi (the envoy) alias that I'm using right now. SInce you can easily switch out characters, it's entirely possible that you see an Iseph or a Quig here at some time in the future.
Thanks for the info. Test posting my own pregen alias as well...
I have a follow up newbie question. Is there a setting somewhere or thread subscription option that I can select whereby threads I'm participating in (like this one) will send me an email notification when someone has submitted a new posting?
There's no e-mail option that I know of. But you can 'focus' the threads with the link at the top of the boards (across from the forum name i.e. Online Campaigns), which will make it only display threads you've posted in. You can also click your name at the top of the website (where it says Hello, ___) and view the threads you're in on the "campaign" tabs.
Ok. Good to go here.
Hey all,
I'll be vacationing with the family Wednesday through Monday for Fall Break in Chicago and surrounding areas.
The itinerary makes it look like I'll have little time to post. Feel free to bot me!
Andrew, thanks for letting me know (and actually going out your way to find a replacement - very nice!)

If you don't apply it to a 1st lvl character for reduced rewards you need to apply it to a lower lvl character then the pregen you played it with (most of the time you play your own character if it's in lvl range) and you put the chronicle on hold. You apply it to your character when it reaches the lvl of the pregen you played with.
You can't apply it to a higher lvl character then the pregen you played with because it would never get applied
Say you play the lvl 4 pregen and you have a lvl 2 character and don't want a new lvl 1 character so you apply it to the lvl 2 character..and then it exists in a void somewhere doing nothing until you play a few more scenarios and then when you reach lvl 4 *pop* your credit from playing the pregen kicks in
Which get's a bit odd if you happend to have played a bunch with a lvl 4 pregen ..say 3 times..because then you get enough xp to spontaneously reach lvl 5, skipping lvl 4 entirely
Makes sense?
I haven't heard from nomanai, so I think I'm just going to roll with five, allowing us to start now. Can you all dot in to the gameplay thread?
Already dotted!

So, with the storm, was it the crystals themselves that were poisonous? I'm guessing the writers didn't expect someone to suit up for the trip (that would be totally against classic tv! Logic is for suckers after all! :), but I figure with the suit, she'd only get poisoned if the crystals actually punctured the suit (not a requirement for hurting her btw) and if the crystals breaking skin were the source of the poison, otherwise she'd not be affected.
