OOC THREAD FOUR....

[max_vale]

ybn: Thanks amigo! Now let me know how you'd like to spend your 10K (Take a look a the Equipment and Ship Mods thread). I'll update your character sheet!

[Monsieur Rose]

Zuul is willing to share the big bed with someone. He's cold-blooded, so there may be snuggling.

[Rex]

It would need to be one helluva bed to put Zuul and kit in at the same time.

Okay, I went and spent most of Jackson's money......he bought a Flight Suit and Flight Helmet (can fit either him or Cal), probably kept in the same Storage Locker as the Utility Space Suits on the ship most of the time; and he also bought an Ikas-Adno 'Starhawk' Speeder Bike....which right now I'm listing as being kept in the Starboard Cargo Bay (same bay as the Hidden Storage Compartment....if somebody wants to switch that, let me know).

He has 1,300 credits remaining.

I also went and made the command decision to have Kit carrying around 5 Medpacs in her Satchel and Vale and the good Professor Clark carrying a pair each, which gives the party 9 for walking around....the rest of the Medpacs are in the Storage Locker in the Med Bay (16 total).....and keep in mind that the Med Bay has about 60 treatments worth of Medicines as well. (Well...for the next 6 months anyway)

The entry for the Nova Kestrel has been updated with the mods.....and for purposes of the module.....the Alliance installed a Proton Torpedo Tube with 4 Torp magazine (and 4 Torpedoes!) on the ship as well.....Merry Christmas!

I'll be throwing up first game post coming tomorrow....Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays all!

[Starbeard]

Looking forward to it!

Hey guys, sorry I've been incommunicado lately. Been busy with holiday and end-of-year stuff.

For the current session, I'm thinking it makes sense to use the torpedoes to take out the TIE fighters while they're docked. Alternatively, we could try to disable the ship by taking out its engines. Thoughts, anyone?

[Rex]

Have to stop it from going hyper first or we lose. Tie fighters second.

[Solo4114]

Ok, so, target the engines? Or would we find the hyperdrive elsewhere?

[Rex]

No clue. I am not sure Kit would know either.

[ybn1197]

Sorry all. My holidays were spent in bed for the most part from being sick on and off. Guess we managed to just pass it back and forth.

[Solo4114]

Anyone know? Can we get a GM ruling on whether shooting the engines will also kill the hyperdrive?

[max_vale]

Yes, on this kind of ship both the sunlight AND the hyperdrive engines are in the same place, the stern (back) of the ship. Note: making a called shot increases the difficulty number by 10.

Both Cal and Jackson have controls for the twin light laser cannon mounted right above the cockpit AND the Proton Torpedo Tube located right beneath the cockpit. Let me know who's doing what....and soon, I'll throw up the next post this weekend, thanks!

I just wanted to give a special "THANK YOU!" to kipper for participating in the Squib bargaining session.....I felt like trying to stretch that out over a week or two would really be a disservice to everyone; so we found a time when we could both be on-line at the same time and get a few posts dealing with it in. The Squib are supposed to be "amusingly annoying" and their way of life revolves around the "Good Deal", which to them involves making deals needlessly complicated, comparing things that can't normally be compared and tend to be more amusing than straightforward. I hope I managed to capture some of that in these posts!

First post of Episode Two coming later today/tonight!

So, they're like Ferengi-Ewoks?

"I am Chief Tax Chaplain ArrGack and I bid you welcome to de System of Baradise. As part of your Bilgrimage, it is customary to make a 50 credit donation per Bilgrim and also to understand de Holy Laws of this System. No weapons are permitted in Baradise, so all bersonal weapons need to be left here, where dey will be watched over with the greatest of care for a small donation. All ship weapons must be deactibated and if any holy artifacts are to removed from Baradise, an donation of a size to be assessed by Holy Officers will be made for each artifact", he finishes while extending his pseudo pod arm holding the tray towards Clark expectantly.....


**Quick note; Cal and Jackson both still have a substantial amount of credits

Jackson will pay half if Cal wants to pay the other half for everyone.

[Starbeard]

I'm happy with that.

I'm good with that.

My posting for at least the next 2 weeks is going to be slower than normal. I provide IT for one of the major hospitals here in Baltimore and thanks to the Corona virus we are working double time trying to support those users who are working from home and the physicians who are trying to provide care through telemedicine in addition to the normal IT requirements we all have and support. I will post as I can but please don't wait on me. RP my character if necessary. I will hope in when and where I can.

[Starbeard]

Good luck with all of that, mate! Keep on truckin'.

Hello one and all; I've had an insane week (as I'm sure all of you and all of the world for that matter) as my job (I'm a gov't contractor) continues to try and figure out exactly what their plans are in the midst of this crisis......for now, they've divided the work force in half and are having one half continue to work while the other half stays home for 2 weeks and then we're going to switch.....

Of course, this is easy for the Gov't employees....for us contractors, they're still working out the details.....for the moment, I'm working the next two weeks....but that could change as early as tomorrow....so needless to say, this week has been pretty crazy for me.

I sincerely hope all of you are doing as well as can be hoped for as well.......in any event, I WILL be throwing up a new post for this game this weekend and if you can post a reply, great...but certainly, it's no big deal if not and my apologies for the delay!

Stay safe and stay sane!
