So things like turn radius, acceleration/deceleration rating are not needed. You just need to know how fast it is and how manueverable in general. Specific manuevers and turns are just covered by the general drive rolls. I never liked RPG systems that tried to give a manuever by manuever check for chases. I just need to know in general if it is predator or prey and the terrain. For instance in a dogfight the jets are moving in so many different directions as they try and shoot each other that mapping it would be pointless and just slow the fun down. Things like the kinds of turns and how close they got to each other are a part of the description of the manuever from the players and the GM. Part of the point of the Nexus system is to speed up the game by reducing the number of rolls that the players make. There should be only one roll per action. [MENTION=59506]El Mahdi[/MENTION] - Thanks! That's what I was looking for! 30 may be a little high <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> but I am going to expand that scale farther with more science fiction ships. I figure that ships with contragrav would allow for even higher manuever ratings. Many starfighters have the ability to rotate in place but they don't actually move as much atmospheric fighters since they can't bank off the air resistance. Also they seem to be changing direction when travelling in a straight line or they will end up with too many vectors. Basically I want to have starfighters on the same chart but not make them impossibily high since they have a different set of issues to deal with.I'm still trying to figure out how to do this.  Any thoughts?</blockquote>
