Away from my books at the moment & prepping a chase scene on speeder bikes!

I remember the EotE core rules state that the Aratech 74-Z Speeder Bikes used by the Imperials have a forward blaster that uses personal scale damage (please correct me there if I'm wrong). So my question is if the Imperials are firing at another speeder bike do they need to do 10 points of damage for each point of Hull Trauma inflicted?

Cheers

That is correct. But they could also try to hit the pilot directly. I'm not sure about the rules for that though. I think the AoR beginner game increases the difficulty by one in order to hit the pilot. Per Core Rulebook you could probably aim with two black dice.

May your speeder bike evade the trees

Thanks for that Fred I was thinking of adding a setback dice myself to hit the players!

Technically you can do it by aiming. You expend a maneuver and apply two setbacks to the attack. Applying a second aim removes one of those setbacks.

It's probably more appropriate to require 2 Triumphs per the vehicle comabt tables though. Shooting someone off a moving motorcycle using the machine gun bolted to the fork of your motorcycle is definitely more super triumphant than careful aiming.

Honestly a 74-z is so flimsy it's kinda overkill to try shooting the rider...

Edit: Also the vehicle encounter in the AoR beginner game pretty much makes up a lot of rules that don't match the core book, so best not to reference it too closely.

Fortunately I haven't got the AoR beginner game so I won't be able to reference that at all

The chase will be happening thru the winding back streets of a city as they try & escape after throwing a massive spanner in the Imperials plans there!

It's the last session of a campaign that's been going on for the last 18 months so hopefully it's going to be EPIC
