OOC: [T20] High Law and Low Justice

[doghead]

I wasn't really suggesting it. But now that you mention it, it might be an idea to have a little more expertise in the area. Much of the other ship management skills (astro, comms, piloting) have several capable people.

I still like the idea of a ship more dedicated to stealth and evasion than raw firepower, however. But its just a feeling. On the other hand, when you do get backed into a corner, raw firepower is nice.

BACK


Well, the Vykris is already about as well armed as a 400t corsair; but it doesn't have the agility or maneuverability. As all potential turrets are in use there isn't a real way to upgrade, only to change the loadout.


More power would require a bigger reactor, which is quite expensive, but would give the ship some surplus power for agility.

Better sensors would require a better computer, which would in turn draw more power.

Either option would be several MCR


Vehicle Bay would be fairly cheep, but then you have to buy what goes in there.



Cabins or Lowberths are fair cheep, talking fractions of MCR rather than 10s; and serve the additional bonus of increasing earning capacity (though Saanath is somewhat soured on passangers right now...)

Cargo would be free, and also increase earning capacity


As the group doesn't have much spare cash right now I'll keep it cargo, any vehicle can easily go in cargo if needed


Currently the only ships vehicle is the 20 ton gig, which is unarmed (but armable if you take a Laser from one of the turrets), and not suitible for everything you might want done on a planet (even a 20ton vessal is quite large).




Shayrui, if it is okay I shall introduce Tessa now...

 

[Shayuri]

Very much okay!

I will shortly post a small revision that gives her some Ship's Gunnery skill and feat...it sounds like those skills will serve the party well, and they're quite reasonable for her to have.

Keeping the space free for the moment seems to be the best idea. I like the idea of upgrading reactor, then computer, then sensors. But this would be something of a long term plan.

Yeah, you wouldn't get much change from 20MCr for that little lot...

 

[Shayuri]

Mew.

I presume that message for Gwydion is from me?

Or about me?

Just...waiting to get in.

 

[Wilphe]

Post coming...

 

[Shayuri]

Hurrah! Just a couple of questions before I post, so I don't have to go back and edit.

I'll put it in spoilers, just in case.

[sblock]How secret is Tess' actual mission/reason for coming aboard? To what extent is she authorized to share information about her last assignment?

If not, does she have an official cover story?

Was it decided that Gwydion and Tess knew/know each other? I remember it being suggested, but I can't recall if it was decided.

Thanks![/sblock]

Shayuri:

[sblock]How secret is Tess' actual mission/reason for coming aboard?
To the group? Not secret
To the rest of the Universe? As confidential as the Vykris's mission in general. ie: You are a deniable asset


To what extent is she authorized to share information about her last assignment?

Fully authorised to use her own discretion
Everyone present is more or less trusted by the Scouts


Was it decided that Gwydion and Tess knew/know each other?
They don't know each other
