Starship Combat
In space battles, the crew is divided, there is one pilot, as many shooters and as many engineers.
- Each gunner may shoot once per round (the ship requires of course per gunner a rifle)
- The pilot may draw aside once in each round, the achievements are the difficulty of the opposing shooters to hit the space ship.
- The pilot may move the spaceship a hex per point of speed.
- The tech try to hold together the ship and is responsible for functionality roles.
If the ship has any glitches, a D10 musst be rolled on the glitches list of the spaceship.
For space battles, the conflict system is used. Each ship may shoot and move around in his turn. The enemy ship can draw aside.
- In the starship combat the gunner shoot with the weapons of the ship, therefore, the gunner can use the weapon stat as a bonus.
- If the target is out of weapon range, the shot fizzles out in space.
- The goal is defending itself with the pilot profile plus the agility of the ship, the throw is executed once per combat round, and compared the results with every shot on the ship.
- The damage is calculated from the difference between successes and modified with the damage modifier of the weapon. If the ship has shields, they catch the hits and the shield value is reduced by tthe calculated damage. Are the shields no longer (zero shield vlaue) or the ship has no shields, it suffers at least one damage.
Challenges
- Gunner: MERCENARY + Weapon stat - Penalty
- Pilot: PILOT + Agility
Functionality role
The functionality role is performed from the engineer of the spaceship with his engineerprofil and is always necessary if the ship was hit. As a bonus, he gets the reliability of the spaceship. Per round of combat, the engineer can only pass one functionality role. If the engineer failed a randomly determined area connected the spacecraft was damaged.
- Functionality Role: ENGINEER + Reliability ≥ damage of the Hit location
Boarding
The enemy ship can be boarded, if: a) the two spaceships are in adjacent hexes and b) the opponent's space ship has no shields active.
- Boarding: 3 successes (MERCENARY)
Damages
Pro damaged hit location a engineer have to maintain the spacecraft 1 hour. For the maintenance a ENGINEER challenge is necessary. If successful, the spacecraft suffered no permanent damage, however, the failure of the injury leaves a randomly selected Macke. Regardless of the outcome of the challenge, the spacecraft will be fully operational.
- Maintenance challenge: ENGINEER + Reliability ≥ necessary successes
Glitch challenges
The insidious of glitches is that they do not always occur, but only now and then. Each time a glitch challenge is needed, a D10 musst be roled on the glitches list of the spaceship. If at this listposition a glitched is noticed, this glitch get effective instantly, otherwise nothing occurs. If there is already another glitch active, one mor is now active.
A glitch challenge is due on the following:
- Start / Stop of an flight
- Beginning of a space battle
- Landing maneuvers on planets
Temporary fix glitches
Through normal maintenance (ENGINEER challenge with at least 2 successes, takes 2 hours), the operation of the spaceship is recovered, but the glitches are only deactivated. If no maintenance is carried out, also a simple kick at the right console and a ENGINEER challenge with 3 successes helps, but these can only be tried once per glitch and engineer.
- Maintenance role: ENGINEER ≥ 2 (takes two hours)
- Kick: ENGINEER ≥ 3
