PBP Alt Univ: Clone Wars: OOC

By EliasWindrider, in Star Wars: Force and Destiny Beginner Game

IIRC, Anakin crash landed half a ship, using the repulsors to slow it down (since that half was missing the main engines). I think that the other half was left in pieces in orbit around Coruscant. :D

By the way, do we still have @AnomalousAuthor , @vandarl , or any of the others still with us?

It would be nice to "gather the party" again.

A ship-to-ship crash would take out another CIS ship in the blockade, but might possibly put any escape pods at risk.

A deliberate "crash" landing could take out some CIS forces on the surface. Do we have any idea of where there might be some large concentations?

@MrTInce

you could crash the ship into the main separatists base on the ground, roll a piloting check base is 10% add 10% per success add 5% per advantage add 20% per triumph, if you wipe them all out there will be one third less CIS troops in next session....

I'm unsure about that, particularly @AnomalousAuthor but I think the others are out.

That sounds pretty appealing, but what are we facing if we don’t take out another ship? I’d rather not get caught out in a CIS orbital bombardment if we can avoid it lol

That'll happen offscreen like it did in the original clone wars episode.... the republic fleet will drive off the cis fleet. When you're all down on the ground the cis fleet will come back with reinforcements and drive off the republic fleet then you'll have to fight against general loathsome and asaj ventress, while possibly dealing with a clone traitor.

I just bumped the original idea thread in the main FaD forum saying we could add 2 players now.

Oh well in that case if there’s no complaints I would absolutely love to have Condor crash the ship into the CIS ground base. Will that be the end of this session once we screen wipe?

I’d like to stay, but it’s probably better if I drop out. It’s been fun, but my real life obligations have been keeping me pretty busy of late.

Can always join back at a later mission if you get free time again!

What would the difficulty be?

I'd like to do three things I think. First is I'd like to order Balyeg to 'secure' the Harch however possible and remove anything he has on him - Weapons, tech, whatever.

Second, I'd like to order Elsee to see if we can get access to the controls of the ship here on the Bridge.

Third, I'd like to see if I can get a hold of Captain Wraith on the comms.

Ker'see would move over to any monitors and see the status of anything else happening on ship.

Any chance of getting a couple of IC posts for these, please?

That would allow me to make one too for Mireska this week. (Ideally there would be one or more posts with Condor/Balyeg and/or Ker'see before Mireska comes out of her Harm-induced fugue state [or whatever the technical term might be].) :)

We can only hope that RL gives you a break so that we can see you here again! :)

Same goes for @vandarl - I was hoping that we could get some investigation done for the side stories.

Simple (no dice). Crashing a ship isn't hard.

Yes

@Bellona @MrTInce @ShockHelix what are your earn (non species non morality/duty) xp totals currently? New players will come in below the lowest of you but I thought I would start them closer to current than the original 900 earned xp.

Mireska currently has 900 + 135 earned XP.

Uhhh, are you missing your normal starting XP in that?

Yes, the starting XP (race + morality/whatever) are not included in that.

Oh, whew, okay. Thought I’d messed up for a second there.

I’m at 75 xp earned currently

That's 900 + 75 right? (+species)

There's no word from Captain wraith.... that's going to play out off screen, he's going to be recovered alive but injured and unconscious after the crash, and you will have no evidence that anything trench told you was untrue (everything will be uncontested if not confirmed) wraith will be medivac'ed off world.

@AnomalousAuthor @Bellona @MrTInce @ShockHelix

I'm going to let you guys back and forth narrate the rest up until the screen wipe... don't go crazy (e.g. no finding rare gear hidden on the bridge), I've gotta get ready for a birthday party (mine) later today, I don't want to hold up the story and games are built on trust at the proverbial table.
