Star Wars: Republic and Empire (OOC thread)

[possum]

Sorry for the double post, but I'm wondering what my character's precise duties aboard the ship (both in battle and out of it) would be. Can you help, please?

Rosa's the executive officer, and so second in command of the ship. She manages most of the day-to-day operations of the ship. She's one of the three watchkeeping officers (along with Commander Cyn and Lt. Karan), one of which is awake and on the bridge at all times (Lt. Karan being the most junior by far, her watches are generally when Rosa or the captain are off-shift, but not asleep). She usually will command any groundside or boarding party.

If battle is expected, she'll be in charge of the auxillery command center (with either Lt. Karan and Lt. Storm or their most senior assistants), and ready to take charge if Commander Cyn is killed or disabled. If battle happens unexpectedly, the watchkeeping officer will likely command the ship and the auxillery command center will not be manned (at least, not until someone can get there).

Also, FWIW, Rosa was in on the briefings where senior command gave Commander Cyn the details of the mission; I just couldn't figure out how to write things so they wouldn't be posted twice.

FYI - I've put preliminary stats for the Nebulon C frigate and Sacheen B frigate up in the characters thread.

I haven't decided their tactical fire options yet.

I'm not sure what else is left to say or do in the breifing room...are we ready to move on?

I'm kinda hoping for a space battle to whet our whistle and get into some action.

Pretty much.

That's not impossible.

I need to get off my butt and finish the non-canon starships, though. I took a stab at the capital ships tonight (both were just built by hand-tweaking Nebulon B frigate stats).

Edit: Also, the P-wing (hand-tweaked the K-wing)

How should we handle our Astromech droids? During a fight they'd normally be the ones making mechanics checks, rerouting power to shields, etc. When not needed for that would they also act as sensor operators to give us bonuses on our attacks?

I don't see why not, though you'll need to tell me what you want your astromechs to do.

FYI - I generally like actions from everyone before I resolve things in a combat scene, even if ENWorld's been slow lately.

I'll try to get to it today.

Sorry, I hadn't even read the thread over the weekend the access rate was so bad. I started trying to update my games but literally ran out of time.

I didn't even know there was a combat scene, as a consequence. Thanks for the headsup. I'll do that game at the first opportunity.

... and now that I have posts from everyone and ENWorld is mostly working, I got sucked into a novel last night, and have my tabletop game tonight, so I can't roll any dice until tomorrow.
