Further congratulations, as you passed a Contribution rank. Duty has been redistributed accordingly, and you can claim a free item of Rarity 4 or less.

That Contribution rank.

Col, I will roll for the mods assuming the Rifle sale is okayed.

Ah, I see. Thanks. Clearly I'm going for the Rarity 4 Defenstar LTD. Nyasalan II Planetary Shield Generator. I'll probably never get the full 460.000 credits on the used planetary shield generator market but that will keep me in parts for mods for a while

Just to make sure, the above was a joke... I'll find something Rax needs.

No. No. I don't allow it. No. Not since the time I had a friend who was normally a PC covering for me on the week I couldn't make the session have I given free reign on issuing Contribution gear. They picked up five (FIVE!!!!!) biome generators, then immediately sold them. They had 45,000 credits squared away just like that. So no. Pick something else. Rant over.

UNFAIR!!!

I think Rax is a bit concerned for his personal safety. Would he be able to get his hands on either a Riot Armor from Keeping the Peace [Def 0, Soak 2, Price 950, Enc 3, HP 2, Rarity 4] or, failing that, a Padded Armor [Def 0, Soak 2, Price 500, Enc 3, HP 0, Rarity 2]?

Here is a roll to mod Rax's pistol, I'll try the first +1 damage mod from the Blaster Actuating module. Note that the difficulty is reduced by one for the Quicktrigger pistol.

......... How? Just how? Thanks for nothing dice roller

Waiting on the GM regarding armor...

Yeah the mod didn't work there then. You can try again with a Boost dice after a reasonable time period has passed, or you find someone else to try it.

For the armour, you can have it. You'll all get your gear once you reach a suitable point where you can get at some supplies.

Excellent. Rax will normally wear his heavy clothes, but will armor up while on missions when combat is likely.

As for the mod, I can't attempt to install that particular mod again, and the parts are used up since I failed that roll. There is a second damage mod I can try in the future, and a couple of pierce mods as well, so it doesn't matter that much. Just annoying how much online dice rollers hate me!

Waiting on other players to weigh in on the whole Zavvel-issue...

Oro has no problem ending Zavvel. In his opinion, at best, he was an incompetent buffoon who got good med killed by his shortsightedness and poor decisions. At worst, he was an outright traitor.

Since that seems like a pretty dramatic scene to have happen "off camera," maybe we just leave it at we left him in the custody with the other soldiers and trusted them to decide his fate.

I'll post some time today with Geoff's action. Thing is, as much as part of me wouldn't mind letting the Captain be taken into custody, I really don't want him to escape and cause trouble for us later on.

Before we get onto that, how are Oro and Geoff using the XP and Contribution?

Toco is kind of enamored with the LT. Once he started talking about not summarily executing the Captain, he backed down from that idea.

Much like Oro, he trusts his fellow soldiers to handle Zavvel.

Before we get onto that, how are Oro and Geoff using the XP and Contribution?

Not too sure what to do with the XP and Contribution. I am tracking 40 XP to use for skills, talents, and possibly a new spec. In addition, we each get a piece of gear of Rarity 4 or less. Is there a credit limit on that?

I'll probably use Golden for my color, unless people are having trouble seeing it.

No trouble, and no credit limit. It does have to come within the bounds of reason though, so don't look for the most exploitable piece of gear. You can also go for a vehicle if you want to.

Just a reminder that we can get back underway once I hear from Jaspor and Sarone how they're spending the XP and Contribution.

How would you like to spend the advantage? Do you want a boost the next time you use your rifle?

How about a reduction in material cost? It would be nice to return the Quartermaster some useful materials. She is still of interest to Toco.

I spent my XP taking two new talents, Point Blank and Strong Arm. Updated character sheet here: http://swsheets.com/c/dznp9xoak-oro-logray

As far as the Contribution, hrmmmmm... Let me think about that a little more.

You said vehicle, which has me thinking about that as a possibility.

Weidaminutenow. Could we choose a Rarity 4 or less vehicle? That includes a loooot of stuff. Up to a patrol boat or a YT-1300! Not saying we should go there, but that certainly seems ... generous?

The rules do state you can request any vehicle of Rarity 3 + Contribution ranks, though only one as a party-wide report (so no other gear). You can also ask for a strategic asset, by the by.

Wow. What are your feelings as a GM about that? Certainly Rax would love something that goes fast and makes other things which also go fast explode with an explosion so loud it carries even in the vacuum of space, but that's not the direction the campaign is going, and it seems a bit strange to request something like that from the small rebel cell here...

Perhaps that's something to consider once we feel we are "done" on the planet and feel it's time to move on?

Well by then I imagine your Duty will be on the up-and-up and you can. It's a decision to make in consultation with me if you want to go there; at least personal gear isn't quite as difficult to access.

I was thinking maybe a Trast A-A5 Heavy Speeder Truck. It doesn't come with any weapons, but we can add some. We'd get our very own "Brick" type vehicle.

What do people think on the truck? The others would have to return their gear.

I would prefer to pick up a vehicle when we have finished what we want to do on the planet and can pick up something more interesting to pilot than a glorified truck. That said, the armor Rax requested is not at all important to me so I'll follow the group's decision on the matter.

That's fine with me too. (Assuming we do get finished with this planet at some point, lol.)

There's nothing that's really striking me as something I'd want or need at rarity 4, can I just bank it for later or something?
