[SWd20]Off on the Rim OOC(Full)

[Paxus Asclepius]

Well, why not go one more step... and just put the serial number on the pilot? I mean, if he blows up, you can't get the suit back... we should just go one more step and say HE'S property of the Empire.

If he blows up while in the fighter, the fighter may not be salvageable, depending on the hit. If it was a lucky shot with a small-bore weapon, the bulk of the ship and indeed the suit may be salvageable. If he's taken out off-duty, everything's salvageable including the boots. Besides, he can't be property. Any non-human can, but the Empire only has human slaves in mines.

Might I ask, just for my own curiosity, how you guys know all this stuff about Star Wars? I just wonder -- is there a book I should be reading about the Empire to get some background that I'm missing?

FLight suit? TIE pilots were expendable, otherwise they'd have bothered with such handy things as shields or endurance drives. I've always been given to understand that the flight gear was an integral part of the ship, so you came back with your fighter r not at all.

Well if you took the time to watch a "New Hope" you would have seen at least 2 Tie fighter pilots wearing them, and I'm pretty much guaranteed to have one:

a) The empire likes everything uniformed.
b) There isn't an atmosphere in a tie fighter and I seem to still be alive...

Nor did I say I wouldn't be wearing it unmodified.

For myself, I played the original rules (Pre-D20 rules) and got into the whole empire side of things quite a bit. I also read about 90-gadgillion novels, movie source books and other stuff that was put out.

It'd still be rather unlikely that you'd own one, unless you were a deserter you would have been made to turn it in when you left the Imperial Navy. Not trying to steal yer thunder, just trying to keep this as "realistic" as possible.

But I guess it'd be down to the GM in the end.

Years of reading the books and watching the movies. I can spout off so much stuff off the top of my head it just isn't funny. Do not dispute my knowledge of Star Wars, for I am allknowing!

As for your credits...
Mordane, you have 2,400cr.
Kitana, you have 2,700cr.


On the note of Flightsuits...it wouldn't be much use to you, and yes, UNLESS you were a deserter and got away with the TIE too, then you wouldn't have the suit. Its Imperial Property.

I seem to recall Talon got plucked out of a TIE fighter spinning through space, so he proboably has it (and it's proboably intact). On the other hand, it IS rather identifiable, and being seen wearing it by a) the Imperials, b) the Rebels, or c) anyone willing to sell you to either side for a few credits (which includes most of our group ) is inadvisable.

What do you mean, most? Who's the ethical one, and how much are his kidneys worth?

 

[Thomas Hobbes]

I got a couple of odd looks, I was laughing so hard at that one.

To answer the question, Kluurz freed a bunch of Wookiees from slavery, in defiance of law, family, and species. Seems like a pretty stand-up guy, morality wise- and I'm sure as hell not going to try and take his kidneys. The guy can bend forcepikes into pretty bows.

Awww, is Daos afwaid of the widdle Twandoshan? That's so cute. Sure, he's great in a fistfight, but I'm not stepping into the ring with him. Three blaster bolts in the back put paid to just about anyone.

Comments like that IC are likely to meet with a friendly laugh. And, some time later, a vibroknife in the kidneys in a dark alley.

Ho boy. It's starting to look more and more likely that we'll disintegrate before any adventures actually start- good luck, Ankh-Morpork guard, and better you than me....
