[QUOTE="Dr Simon, post: 4838742, member: 21938"] [COLOR="Wheat"]"Negative, [I]Outrageous Fortune[/I], we... wait..."[/COLOR] The woman from ground control looks more exasperated than anything else, as Sarhat starts the launch procedure. Although, you assume, she could override the lift and airlock sequence that will take the [I]Fortune[/I] to the surface of Lison, she doesn't. Control frowns.

You are a few thousand Ks from the system jump gate when a ship drops into sensor range. A Drazi Sunhawk. She is hailing you. [SBLOCK=OOC] Diplomacy check by Ashley Operations (sensors) by Sarhat Operations (pilot) by Sarhat, Take 10 for lift-off. Some mechanics that might be of use: There are three range bands in space combat; Sensor, Long and Close. Currently the Fortune and the sunhawk are within Sensor range of each other. Closing or opening range bands is a matter of opposing Pilot or Operations (pilot) rolls; ships don't have a "speed" characteristic. Most small-scale weaponry such as that on the Fortune, and (usually) that carried by Sunhawks, are Close range. The Fortune can be flown single-handedly, using Pilot as the relevant skill, or (as you are currently doing) as a crew, in which case Sarhat would use Operations (pilot). [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
