[QUOTE="Beretta, post: 4623434, member: 12260"] [B]GM’s Commentary[/B] Well, I didn’t feel that the second session was as successful as the first. I got a bit overwhelmed during the space combat at the end of Damsel in Distress, occasionally forgetting the +5 cover modifier in the asteroid field and making Vehicular Combat rolls for the TIE fighters. I was further conscious of the fact that the Jedi players were feeling a bit left out in space combat, though they did make their assist rolls for Pilot checks and Sensor Ops for the gunnery when asked. When not doing that they were reading the rule book or one of the other books that was lying around, which is not what I had in mind when running a supposedly thrilling escape scene. It really did fall flat, though I think Khail’s player enjoyed it which is not surprising since his character is optimized for space combat. Fenri seemed to have fun too as he got to shoot down a couple of pursuing TIE fighters. In hindsight I suppose it’s not very exciting if you’re not flying or shooting, but I haven’t been able to convince the Jedi players to invest much into starfighter skills. Thalo’s player has the Pilot skill and has purchased an astromech droid so perhaps down the track he might make the additional investment in a starfighter, but Cyan’s player is not interested at all at the moment. Neither of them has planned out their character in advance, so I think that they both don’t fully appreciate just how many feats they get as compared to D&D 3.5 which is their previous basis of experience. Thalo’s player says that he has more urgent priorities for personal combat and when he runs out of options there (is that possible?) then he might then consider branching out. I believe space combat plays a large part in the movies and I wanted to reflect that in the campaign, so I envisage approximately 33% - 50% of the combat encounters occurring in space (or at least in a vehicle of some description).
