Thanks guys. I'll try to be better about staying on top of the threads.

Hey guys, sorry for being incommunicado for so long. I had a pretty busy run of months there (going back to the office part-time and working from home part-time, updating and editing chapters for a book we publish, etc.), so I've been pretty checked out on the game here. Is it a problem if I chime b...

Cal murmurs, "'Wasteland system'? Not much going on there? Sounds like some smuggling to me. The Kestrel's up for the job, but we'll need to know what we're hauling and to whom we're giving it. And especially if the Imperials are involved."

Cal: "Alright, folks. What's our plan here? We heaving to, or making a run for it?"

Side question: how well-shielded/hidden are the smuggling compartments? Like, how hard would our illicit cargo be to detect if we were to heave to?

Thanks, Max!

"Right then. 'Fly casual' it is."

Cal won't take any sudden maneuvers...but will keep a hand lightly resting on the throttle controls just in case. He'll also take a quick look at the shields to make sure they're charged and ready.

Hey guys, sorry for the long delay here. I'm finally getting a quiet morning to sit down and really dig into this stuff. So, for Cal's skills, I'd like to do the following: - I'd like to bring his Starship Piloting up to 6D. - His Astrogation to 5D. - His Streetwise to 3D+2. I think that works, but ...

Cal grits his teeth and follows Spilfer's advice, banking right and pushing the ship to maximum throttle to escape. Cal will also use a Force Point if he has any left. (OOC: Apologies for being out of touch lately. Things have been pretty busy on my end. This week may be kinda crazy, too, just as a ...

*no worries on assuming control of Cal. I'm fine with his actions* To the extent possible, Cal will work to jam the Imperial freighter's comms, and look for weak spots while focusing on flying evasively to get within range to use the torpedoes. He tells Jackson to keep the lasers hot for those Imp f...

Hope you feel better soon!

Congrats! And on another note, sorry for being radio silent for a while. Things have been fairly busy on my end, what with having to take care of my kid while her school went back into lockdown, and managing an HVAC installation at the house that went awry (but was resolved well, ultimately). Anyway...

Cal will continue to try to juke and put trash between the Kestrel and its pursuers, but will take a brief moment to use the sensors to ID the incoming ships.

Cal pilots the ship as best he can to position it such that as much debris as possible is between the ship and its pursuers. The basic idea here is to prevent a clear line of sight/targeting on the ship, so that weapons won't have a clear path to the ship.

Cal tries his best to hold steady and hopes he won't need to spend time in a bacta tank when all this is done...

(OOC -- no problem on the Force Point spend, Max.)

Cal dives for cover and attempts to repair his suit.

(OOC: does he have any kind of emergency patch or anything?)

Cal sighs deeply. "Here we go again..." and slowly inches his hand towards his blaster.

Cal fires at the two mouse droids closest to him.

"It's lucky you found these things. Lucky for us, that is. I'm not sure I could've listened to another story about meals."

Cal is carrying his blaster pistol, a comlink, and if there's space for a medkit that someone needs him to carry, he can hold one of those.

"I should be able to set down by the airlock, yeah."

Cal will carefully maneuver the Kestrel over to the airlock.

"When she's landed, I can stay on the ship if needed, just to keep her running and maybe provide a little fire support if you need it later."
