[QUOTE="Afroconan, post: 9479591, member: 80331"] That's a common misconception, your action is only cancelled when rolling 10 or more in the panic table. Those rolls force you to take a "Panic Action" instead of the action you rolled for. A 9 or less would allow you to succeed. Even if you roll a 9 on the panic table while shooting and succeed, your GM may call for you to drop the weapon but that would be after the successful shot and not before. In a [URL='https://www.youtube.com/live/mfWgsG3bI0I?si=BJ2odYTqqlQG72GG']recent interview[/URL] they commented that the new game will have two tables, a "stress table" mainly intended for skill rolls and a "panic table" for when you encounter the horrors of space. They didn't offer more detail beyond that or even if there's any interaction between the tables (like rolling badly on the stress table could trigger a roll in the panic table). All in all, I was in the "this is a cashgrab" camp, but from the previews they've teased I've relaxed my position to "they want to grab my cash with a better product". I also thought they made a mistake in calling it "2nd edition" and Tomas admits as much in the interview. As always "editions" are more a marketing term first before any representation of the rules changes. I'm curious on their claims of backwards compatibility and I wonder If you'll be able to run the new adventures with the old rules. [/QUOTE]
