Leif's DISCONTINUED GURPS Traveller Game OOC01

[Leif]

Should work fine.

I assume you'll be wanting a Pilot (Small Starship) roll from me?

Yes, that would be good. I wasn't even aware that there was a difference between Pilot (Small Starship) and Pilot (Any Other Starship). I thought that a starship was a starship. I guess in GURPS, with almost every skill giving you ranks in similar skills, that Pilot (Small Starship) gives you Pilot (Medium Starship) or Pilot (Freakin' HUGE Starship) skill at about 2 ranks lower?

Some description of the maneuver you wish to perform would be good, but I can fill in any blanks that you leave for me.

 

[Leif]

Um, just an observation here, but we still only have 2 characters posted in the RG, and one of those is out on hiatus..... (It will amuse me greatly if Lou gets Elroy posted before Spider and Zoe. )

 

[Scotley]

Yeah, I'm not having much luck finding time to finish up Spider. Maybe tonight I'll get something up.

Like I said, there's no real hurry. We're locked into RP mode for awhile longer yet. I just have to exercise my GM/Referee's right to bitch now and then. Got to keep those bitchin' muscles loose, ya know!

Sorta RP mode! I still have to make my darn Pilot check.

I guess I can just assign it a value and make sure I equal it when my final build's done...

Ok, fine then! You are actually right, after all.... Tell you what, since the Zax outclasses the Vargr ships by so much, just tell me what you want to do, and and give me a 3d6 roll, and we'll totally fake it. Who knows you might be very lucky or very unlucky and get a 3, 4, 17,or 18, in which case your skill won't matter. I'll even give you a critical success on a 5 and a crit failure only on an 18, because I figure your skill will be high enough to justify that in the end, or if not now, then it surely will be before too much longer. Let's face it, the only thing that could even create the possibility of some doubt would be if you rolled 15-17. If we don't like the result we'll burn that bridge when we come to it, ok?

 

[Shayuri]

Okay, I rolled a 13 (Roll Lookup ) which will be a success by at least 2, possibly 3, independent of any bonuses or penalties ascribed.

I'll post tonight or tomorrow morning with a description of her maneuvers.

 

[Leif]

Great, thanks! See, I'm not totally unreasonable ALL the time.

 

[Shayuri]

Okay, evasion post up. I took a crapton of license, Leif...hope that's okay.

I figured the 13 roll was good for at least a partial sucess, but then figured, hey, why not give someone a Gunnery check too?

So...lets shoot down some missiles!

I've updated Doc to 4th ed in the RG thread. He is significantly worse now. He will be absolutely useless in space combat now and cannot help pilot the ship nor back up engineering.
