[FULL] Star Wars D20 Revised Episode III - Episode IV

[Kemrain]

Sorry for not posting, Shadow. I really had nothing to post at all. It would have been an exposition of Tac thinking, and that isn't necessary. I'll post something now, though I doubt much will come of it.

It would have been an exposition of Tac thinking, and that isn't necessary.

I beg to differ. DRK-1X spent the first month and a half of the campaign simply watching other people fight. If I hadn't of bothered to described what DRK-1X was thinking I wouldn't have had much of anything to post at all.

Come on Kemrain, join the introspection party. It's the fad that's sweeping the nation!

 

[Kemrain]

Ok, ok.. If you'll notce, I did post. Though, it was small. Oh well. Better than nothing. Next, Tac gets to be terribly confused by what 1X has to say, as all of his assumptions fly right out the airlock.

- Kemrain the Ass of You and Me.

I was hoping Kemrain would post something, but that's okay. I'm going to do tonight's round for now. Just so as you guys know, if I write something completely off the wall, I apologize in advance. I am training with the Chinese National Director of WuShu, Wu Bin this week. So not only is my schedule changed temporarily, but my mind is addled along with my body.

Things should resume to normal by Thursday or Friday... Again, my apologies folks.

Congrats on the WuShu training. That stuff's totally awsome. Might I ask what kind of weapons are your favorite? A cousin of a friend of my old sensei used to study WuShu with someone related (not familiarly, but organizatioally- don't ask me who, I've no idea) to the aforementioned Chinese National Director of WuShu, and he showed me a little of his dao training. Awsome stuff!

For Ambrus:
[sblock] I guess I missed that part in the RCR. I'll have to look again. I thought it was just total defense you couldn't move at the same time.

As far as the consoles go, you are partially right. The consoles constantly transmit a subchannel signal. It is virtually undetectable unless someone has a really good sensor or a device with the correct data stream comes along. Think of how proximity access cards work. Broken data is sent out, usually useless until the rest of the data is inserted via another source, in this case, the codes in X's memory banks. Put the two together you have a complete code. Access Granted.

Kemrain: No worries about not posting earlier. If you have nothing to post that's cool too, I just want to make sure you still feel included.

As far as the Wu Shu goes, my favorite is probably the empty hand stuff actually, but the broadsword (darn dao for those paying attention) is my second fave. Though the meteor ball is really cool too. Okay they're all cool, but those are my faves.

I'm not terribly familiar with proximity cards, but I've googled it and from what I understand each card is its own little computer that acts like a transceiver; sending out the appropriate signal in response to the reader's transmission. It would make sense to me if 1X had been bothering to transmit the code, but since it wasn't the console would have had to scan through the droid's entire memory to find the matching code. I suppose it's feasible to do, but it sounds like a bit much for a simple security mechanism to pull off routinely. Either way, if it makes sense to you, I guess that's cool.

I have no idea what "meteor ball" is, but it sounds really impressive and I doubt I'd enjoy being on the receiving end of it.

I'm looking forward to your next post. Bring it on!
...the post that is, not the meteor ball.

 

[Ambrus]

Oh dear... No new post today. *sigh*

 

[Kemrain]

Worry not, Ambrus. New posts will come in. Be patient.

So, you think we're gonna get off this rock? I'd put the shields up on the freighter, just so the Sith can't cut it's blasters off or anything. A locked door isn't a deterrant to someone with a lightsdaber, and I'm sure there's an airlock inside that could close off the hull breach...

- Kemrain the Slightly Worried.

 

[Ambrus]

I don't know about there being an airlock on the freighter; it seems to have fairly minimal systems onboard. The ship's weapons after all are no more powerful than four ordinary blaster pistols mounted on swivel bases. If getting into the freighter is the Sith's goal, the shields probably couldn't keep her out for very long. It's the computer lock-out that will, in my opinion, prove most difficult for her to circumvent. Without the proper codes to unlock the freighter's controls, it's just a really big paperweight. She'd have to successfully hack her way into the ship computers to get either ship moving and it seems to me that she probably hasn't put as much effort into learning how to hack computers as she has into hacking Jedi.

 

[Kemrain]

Alright. You're the slicer, not me. Star Wars starships are oddly constructed, in my mind. No airlocks is bizarre to me. Unless all the doors are sealed with a magfield.. That'd do it, and make an airlock a silly waste of space.

- Kemrain the Suggestive.

 

[Ambrus]

As far as slicing goes, the hangar's main computer requires a DC 30 Computer check to slice successfully. Since they're all Dofina's, I'd expect the ships' computer to possess the same level of security. Even if taking 20, a DC 30 Computer Use check is impossible for a casual computer user. A total +10 to a check represents a fair bit of focus and dedication to a skill. Since she's trying to get on the ship she's probably got some ranks in the pilot and astrogate skills, but being a Sith with two lightsabers it seems likely that she's spent most of her feats in dual-wielding those puppies and her remaining skill points in various force powers. It's possible that she's also a highly proficient slicer too, but one person can't master everything right? She's got to have a weak spot right? *crosses fingers*

In all the movies, I've never seen any airlocks on a ship because I've never seen anyone ever perform a EVA spacewalk except for droids. Organics seem content to just stay inside their ships until the land and let their droids go outside if it should be necessary to do so. It's certainly possible to have an airlock, but I think it's generally assumed that most ships don't. I could be wrong though, I'm hardly a Star Wars expert.
