I'm waiting for sonovabith to use the 2nd PC slot in the boarding party initiative, then I'll use the 3 enemy NPC slots and we'll get started on the pilot encounter(s) at the top of the following round

I suggest extreme caution and extreme impetuousness. Be a contradiction.

At what point can we just autopilot sonovabith, for the sake of moving things forward? His last post was on Sunday, suggesting that it might be easier to GM him for now and catch up with everyone else.

I'm...not sure. What would be a polite time period?

Since at the moment the two groups have no effect on each othet, why not take the pilot group now? That would give him more time to post while still progressing the game.

Okay then...I need you to make a Computers check, Kymrel

Difficulty?

Oh. I'm sorry. A little out of it. Hard. But you can have an upgrade to your check for your snarky astromech being more on point than you

Clearly that bucket of bolts is useless!

Computers in fighter : 4eA+1eB+3eD 4 successes, 2 threat

upgrade, not boost, but since you succeeded, I'll allow it XD

Ah. Sorry. Misread you.

No worries. Would you like to re-roll?

Not at all!

Gotcha. IC post incoming

Initiative list for pilots updated to include Enemy pilots

I would like to ask a couple of questions regarding the setup of the encounter.

What range are the Sith currently at?

Are there any hazards in the area, terrain that add setback etc?

Are all the Sith coming from the same direction?

Extreme and closing. Only hazards are the debris fields, which will add a Setback to all Gunnery checks and two setback to Piloting checks that involve evasive maneuvers. Yes.

Ok, is the Debris Field filling the entire area? I just don't want to give the Sith a chance to avoid it!

Once the Sith starfighters close to Medium range, they'll enter the debris field. Of you decide to take maneuvers to go to long range before that, you'll exit the field

Whoever wants to go first can. There are 2 PC slots before the NPCs get to go

I will

Accelerate to increase speed for a Maneuver. Then Rin "plot a course" this is going to effect his Gain the Advantage roll next round, I see it as him looking for a way to use the Debris to flank his chosen target. 2 Difficulty Astrogation is normal, anything extra?

Nothing else.

Flanks are for fighting on : 2eA+2eP+1eB+2eD 0 successes, 3 advantage

Failure

But 3 Advantage. I'm thinking on this but looking to upgrade my next check, I think I may find myself accidentally with a Sith in the crosshairs, they may not be outmanoeuvred but my shot will be better placed.
