[SWd20]Off on the Rim OOC(Full)

Heh, an interesting end to a request for a flight suit, but I do get the feeling that this'll be a good game. The characters seem to possess a lot of... character.

Something that costs 4000 credits is hardly basic, and for that I'm going to withdraw my request, that in my mind is too much to give someone and not others.

A TIE fighter suit isn't an armored flight suit; it is a padded flight suit. An 800-credit item, given that you could have manufactured it for 267 credits, is not too much; it's much less than the difference between your starting cash and that of Mordane or Kitana.

Does it have to be a TIE FIGHTER flight suit? Couldn't it just be one you use from your experiences after being in the Navy? I mean, even Han Solo had some in the Millenium Falcon (I think I remember this correctly) in the Han Solo Trilogy, for repairs whilst in space.

My side of the debate was more on the idea that it would have been an Imperial Tie Fighter suit which would be much less likely for yer char tohave owned.

Either way, do it. I think if we are going to have a ship, then we need at least one person with a suit to fix the bugger in.

His backstory makes sense that he would have it from the ship, it's easy enough for someone with his skill in Craft (armor) to modify the appearance, and it's not an unbalancing factor. I say let him have the suit.

No its not, read the pages I pointed out to you and you will see that...

I'll make do with the money I got, I don't need any extra from anyone else and hopefully we will see money before combat.

Well the starting money says it’s unbalanced so it's not a big deal I do not need it, okay?

I didn't see any page numbers mentioned, but I checked the rulebook and it does say that the TIE suit is armored. Odd, that they'd spend a full 4,000 on armoring pilots who wouldn't be in land combat, especially given that any damage that would be done by either a starfighter's guns or an exploding TIE would go right through it like a LAW through butter.

ok - I think we've ripped this fighter suit debate to little ribbons. Shatterstone already said forget it, he decided not to have the flight suit so let's move on.

Sorry I've been quiet. Work has gotten pretty bad. 16 and 12 hour days been cropping up. I'm hoping to get Kai's bio finished this weekend and all ready.

As for a ship, the only kind of ship Kai would care about is one that would provide her with luxuries. Her parents though would combine it with safety. Since I don't have my starship book handy and its packed up somewhere, how about you guys throw out some ideas for ships?

I mentioned them in a previous post you seem to have "missed"

TIE fighter spacecraft entry in the Core rulebook (Revised is on pg. 228)

Armored Flight Suit, (Revised pg 138)

Educated guess: It’s cheaper than adding a life support system to a ship I would imagine. The bigger space, aka environment, would consist of more parts, more time to build, and more expensive materials.

And then some...

Mine is still in the mail... *sigh*

I imagine for a ship, assuming Kitana's criteria of safe and luxurious are accurate, we just need to find one that's safe and say the inside has been retrofitted (and I imagine 'safe' proboably means it can run away fast and take a few hits, rather than overwhelming firepower).
