I mean those names could be Imperial identification for the vessels not their actual names. If human and working alone sweet we get ships, if chaos, send them into the sun, if eldar, loot and weapons, maybe send some captured eldar to the =][= for brownie points.

The ships are human designed. They appear to be repaired and jury rigged, Suggesting that they are, ahem, privately owned.

The mine is scavenged xenos tech. It does weird stuff.

The irony being for all her resentment towards having her freedom taken away... Aline is still faithful to the Creed. She can turn some blind eyes but it also means she won't personally interact with all that wonderful psy-tech the Eldar have. >.<

That said not quite sure what to post beyond just bracing. Need most of the enemy to be within a couple of VU to be able to do anything nasty (God-Emperor permitting).

Pretty much same here.  I've got one option while in the navigator's throne and it's one that Captain's don't order lightly...using an emergency warp jump to slip into the warp and back out to avoid being hit from a shot while praying that no other ships continued into the same space we just vacated cause when we re-appear if there is something there it will meld together like all the corny movies about the Manhattan Experiment with people fused into walls...except it'll be the other ship fused with ours...

And then it goes boom and ends up with chunks of ship going in random directions.

In reply to Ramirez (msg # 750):

Dunno about the Manhattan Experiment, I was thinking more Event Horizon.

Well Event Horizon will happen if our geller field fails while doing the hop...

Sorry guys, not had time to post properly. I'm diy-ing the new house before a mini me puts in an appearance.

In short, I was gonna bark orders & give the gunner a bonus to their roll. I'll try to get something done later tonight.

Hey all, I'll be on vacation starting this Saturday and go all the way to Monday 7/5.  I will have internet access and can possibly make a post or two.  I'll make sure I've posted up before I leave.

Just piping up to say still around, just as noted, nothing to do so holding steady rather than putting out a filler post.

Also still here, I did put in a filler now just waiting to see if the mine is gone and how bad the punch in the arse is going to be.

Likewise, still here. Without stealing anyone's thunder I think limited to either keep barking orders or joining Searlait's thugs in repelling any boarders we might get.

I'm back.  Before I fire anything, do we want to do any maneuvers first?

Perhaps keep ourselves between the salvation beacon and the raiders? Otherwise, some shooting and then boarding?

In reply to Verity Sondar-Torre (msg # 759):

Sounds good. Failing that, could we get one of the ships between us and its mate? At least temporarily, since our weapons are both forward facing.

Suspect it would be a tougher move, with the geometry, but it would limit our damage

These are raider ships, pretty fragile.  We probably can't board both.  Optimistically we board one and crush the other?

Our guns are 270 degree firing arch and depending on raider type they may have 1 270 and 1 90 angle guns. But keep one of them between us and try to zap their engines and get them to surrender or die.

Got a crit result of 1, we can hit a Component we know of.  Any ideas?

The Drives?

The void shields so they can't stop the next hit...

Nice shootin' Tex. I was thinking void shields or weapons, since we have to know the component is there.

Void shields...was my hit negated by them?!

If not, I say Void Shields.

Void Shields negate the first hit if you made multiple ones.

So in this case normally you would have only rolled 3d10+9 (simply subtract one hit worth of damage) and that would have been applied against their Armour and then Hull.  Generally speaking you'd remove that last dice from the totals and you'd have what you actually hit the ship with after the void shields went down.  That would mean 20 damage or about...mmm 6 points of actual damage to their hull.  If the Boss is nice they will let you remove the first die rolled (as if the first hitting the shields) and you'd do 23 or about 9 damage to their hull.  Otherwise they may simply say re-roll all the damage and just do it with thhe accurate 3d10+9.

Would Verity's playing the music over the vox be an Intimidate action?

I’m hoping it unnerves then at the least
