Lol. I ran one a while back that was centered on a squadron of TIE pilots, and it completely fell apart. Making the maps was so difficult for me at the time.

It had seemed to do well, but yeah, it required several people to be pretty consistent, and other than me being a crap DM, the players weren't really up for the basically one round of combat a week in a 5v5 starfighter battle. And that was just TIE/ln's vs X-wings.

I actually got to meet Stackpole at a con a few years ago. Super chill at the con and just a cool dude.

I'll be straight with you I would *kill* for a Starfighter type of game with an Ace Combat inspired plot - not specifically driven by it, but with that level of like... machismo and hero worship and shit, with awesome setpiece battles and probably a superweapon or two involved.

Which really isn't all that unlike the X-Wing novels, or most of Rogue Squadron's career honestly.

@Tervax:

I remember a good game that I took over that involved squadrons and the imperial remnant. Unfortunately I lost the entire thing with one of RPOL's famous bulk deletions and me not being around to notice in time to fetch it back from the Deleted pile..!

I could, in theory, add more such combat to this game if we wanted to revisit. It was rather busy with screenshots though!!

PS: None of the above -- we want space battles -- is also fine.

POST 4100 ! MINE! :D

*Cackle*

Alright well, I might as well let you folks work on character concepts now for the Mando game:

As it’s been a while I figure I should check - did Double Agent not work for some reason?

Ahhh... must have missed it, but... can you remind where the double agent talent is?

Found it:

Double Agent

When you roll Initiative at the beginning of combat, also roll a Deception check, comparing the result to the Will Defense of all enemies in line of sight. If your Deception check is successful, that target cannot attack you and does not believe you to be an enemy (Though they do not consider you an ally) while this effect is active.

If you attack or otherwise obviously harm or hinder a target under the effect of this Talent, or one of that target's allies, this effect ends. This is a Mind-Affecting effect.

1) The Rakghouls don't consider you an enemy, but you're not one of them either, so you look like lunch!

2) They're immune to mind affects.

Walk the Line

Prerequisite: Disruptive

As a Standard Action, you can do or say something that catches your enemies off guard. All opponents within 6 squares of you, and within your line of sight take a -2 penalty to their Defenses until the start of your next turn. The penalty is negated if line of sight is broken. This Talent has a range of 6 squares at Starship Scale.


I believe this is active though. You can baffle them, and I did consider the -2 on defenses.

Adding this to the resources section.

Incidentally, Destiny Points can be used for a whole lot of things..! Same with Force Points, you've kept them this long. We're officially at the boss fights.

Cheese?

No...

CRITICAL HITS FOR EVERYONE /Sheogorath Voice

TBH, I prefer Smokey Bold BBQ Doritos rather than the Nacho cheese.. but hey!

so the cheesy ones are nacho thing?

I'm sorry, it's early and I haven't had enough coffee.

LOL -- After the gorgeous long weekend, I can't blame you.

Darkside, you don't have any issue with us using artistic license to embellish our posts do you?

Oh, can I spend a Force Point to push him further down the condition track? I forgot that was an option!

it says so in the rules. :)

The 'fun' thing about Force Points is, if I remember right, they kept adding more and more uses for them (DPs too) with each supplement.  Barring power-specific uses it can be easy to forget them all!

So where are Eso and Chemosh relative to us?

Still in  Dr. Nill's office, and not within reach I'm afraid.

Is there a Reader's Digest version of plot/status somewhere? If not, can you give a very high-level refresher?

Edit: Wow, I just realized it's been over 10 years since I built this character.
