Design a Room Challenge - T'Nusis Deep Space Mining Facility

[Wycen]

Is there any interest in actually reviving this thread? If so I could contribute.

Honestly the best way to revive is to contribute It only took me so long because I have other things on my plate, but I dug this up because I had been following it since it started.

Repair Bay

[I think this should be placed in the empty space to the left of the landing bay or, possibly more logically, take up the right side of the landing bay. This way the repair gantries can move north and south and then west into the landing bay to grapple any vessel.]

In the upper half of this room is a large robotic repair gantry. Hanging from the smaller robotic repair gantry in the lower half of the bay is an old DSR S-14 Gryffon snub fighter, once ubiquitous throughout the region. This ship was the pet project of the chief of operations, but now languishes waiting for someone to put it to use.

Each repair gantry has a local control pod hanging underneath for anyone to use, or they can be controlled from the Traffic Control Room #2. Accessing the robotic gantries from the Traffic Control room is a Computer Use (DC 20) check, after the initial repairs have been made. (See Room #2). Using the local controls requires a power source.

The engines and controls of the Gryffon are operational, but it lacks a seal, so should someone with a vac suite or other environmentally sealed clothing manage to get the gantry to operate and move it into the landing bay, they could use it to escape from the facility or to salvage for profit or personal use.

The repair gantry has multiple arms, grapplers and chains, which could be used to attack. This requires a Computer Use (DC 23) check. Damage (bludgeoning) is 4d6 to vehicles, mecha or starship, but medium sized people are small enough to avoid attack with a Ref save (DC 11).

Hanging from racks in the repair bay are enough tools to increase a person’s Wealth by +1. [possibly expand this to list useful things, such as gas for cutting torches, and tools necessary to power up the station, etc.]

Initiative Modifier: pilot’s mod Cargo Capacity: 400 lb.
Pilot’s Class Bonus: see above Grapple Modifier: +8
Pilot’s Dex Modifier: see above Base Purchase DC: NA
Gunner’s Attack Bonus: see above Restriction: Licensed (+1)


Attack: None

The ship has enough fuel for a short afterburner burst to get it out the landing bay.

OK Here we go again

​

I have also designed the rest of the mining facility started in the earlier post, before that gets turned into something else

Room #12 – Refinery

Beyond the Mine shaft and the automated ore extractor, a conveyor takes the raw ore through the wall into a huge room filled with large noisy machines.
It is here that ore is refined and processed to the point being a bulk powder ready for loading into the tankers.
A large machine dominates the northern portion of the room, and the conveyor brings the ore into this device. Close examination of the intake hatch on this machine will reveal a suspicious brown stain splattered liberally all over the metal work surround.
The other machines take the ore from the main machine and process it still further before piping it off to another location for storage.

Room #13 – Bulk Storage

Dominated by huge storage tanks, this chamber is obviously the primary Ore storage.

​

Which combines with the previous rooms to make:

And a pdf version of Room 4 can be found at http://www.uk-gamerz.com/Atr_Rm11.pdf

We could do with looking at the living area and administration block which come of the junction earlier in the thread (don't forget the admin block is depressurised)

Later

This is suck a cool thread... too bad i'm a bad writer when it comes to this stuff otherwize i would like to contribute... anyway Keep it coming people this is cool

I was actually working onthe second half of the processing facility not realizing that the previous entry was bigger than what was finished. There goes an hour or so of work.

Dwelling Hall 1

Mapping: A hall long enough to get get past the medical room ending in a "T" intersection.

Another simple interesection. At the end of the hall there is a sign.
"<-- Residents
Guests -->"
There are deep scratches in front of the residents door from what was probably a very heavy object barricading the door. It is hard to tell which direction was being barricaded.


I plan on doing the "residents hall" pretty soon.

OK, little by little this thing grows

This thread was actually dead before the crash, but because the maps are still useful for everyone, I'm raising it. It basically only lost the last few posts from myself.

I'd like to thank UKG Publishing for going through the effort to map the rooms and host the files. I'd suggest grabbing the maps now while you can and zipping them up for use in the future.

 

[ukgpublishing]

No thanks needed, this thread allowed me to play with some techniques that have gone into our products.

Actually this doesn't need to be dead, I am more than willing to keep up the mapping if people want to expand on the base.

My baby

Wow, I thought it was dead too. Now I'm the one that has to catch up and reread the changes. Thanks so much for the revive. I really like the feel it's taking on and see about 4 directions it could go, depending upon your particular campaign.

*sniff* I'm so proud of my baby *sniff* almost all grown up *sniff*

Random Encounter #3

A com-panel illuminates a particularly dark stretch of hallway ahead. Its damage precludes use of only about 30% of the panel. The remaining portion is strewn with nanocode used in programming systems for much older facilities lending to a theory that this outpost is either very old or borrowed older technology, presumably for the price. Either way, the code flickers and shows random portions between some command buttons that flicker in and out of panel.

Search (search DC = Avg. level *2 plus 10)- success shows that he panel may have some faulty power connections in addition to bugs in programming, making use of this panel unwise. Failure to heed this warning result in (Avg.Level/2)d6 electrical damage REF ( DC = Avg. level *2 plus 10) or FORT ( DC = Avg. level *3 plus 10) save for half damage. (Disable Device DC = Avg. level *3 plus 15)

Attempts to determine the nature of the programming (Computer Use DC = Avg. level *2 plus 10) reveal that this system is far out of date and might also (Computer Use DC = Avg. level *3 plus 12) reveal that the programming includes entries specific to the PCs including rough statistics, weapons used, vessel, etc.

A successful (Computer Use DC = Avg. level *2 plus 10) attempt to utilize the panel can restore power, and will give complete illumination to, this hallway and the nearest room adjacent for 30 minutes.

Any further investigation into the computers programming results in a dark panel with the white scrolling letters "PRimaRy TArgeT: (PC's name) - Initiating..." resetting the electrical discharge trap if not previously disabled.

Lift Shaft

Placed on the last remaining crossroads section

The doors of the lift have been torch cut opened leaving the lift shaft open. Looking into the shaft the players can see the shaft running down a single floor and up a few floors before being lost into the darkness. Flickering light from the lower floor illuminates the bottom end of the shaft.

To climb down the shaft via the ladder (to the left of the door) is an easy action. However climbing up is harder as the ladder is missing a two foot section of rungs, to pass this is a medium climb roll.

The lift cannot be seen, but if the players climb pass the missing rungs and pass the first door (which is closed, can be cut open, forced open (hard STR check), or systems bypassed (medium check)) the lift is at the level of the next door.

The lift shaft is square at a 3x3 scale, ladder is the left of the shaft entrance.
