Lokh is a professional liar. Everyone knows he isn't being honest but he can still outmaneuver people into believing the things he wants them to believe.

That being said he is not charming so his form of persuasion mostly involves the barrel of a gun pressed against some place sensitive.

I kinda wish that Perception was based on Willpower instead of Cunning. I understand the difference with Vigilance why it is WP for that, just wishful thinking.

I hope to get the 'character' posted up tonight, but no garuntees, I was up way way late last night and feeling like conking out right now.

I completely understand. Was up til 6AM and then had to be at work at 10AM. Just now getting off. Its night night time. lol

OK, its IN. Some of it is not pretty.

Looking forward to letting Matilda say hello to somebody.

Haha

I'ms sure she'll get to do some greeting in the near future.

Also, dont forget to discuss the group resource. I'm assuming it will be a ship? But dont want to assume if you guys still want to talk about it.

I doubt all of us would agree on talents for a holocron and a mentor a group like this would be a stretch, but possible I guess.

You also have the option of a base of operations.

Apologies.  It's been a busy few days but I should be able to fill everything out tomorrow.

A ship is kinda a mobile base of operations, but what is involved in a HQ type base of operations? Does it come with ground transportation ;-)

No biggie Vabrok. Real life always comes first :)

And ground transport can be negotiated. Probably for some group obligation. Honestly a ship would probably work better. Just wanted to put the options out there

My character should be updated correctly.

A ship is my choice for party asset.

Let's just go with a ship. It's the default and for a game like this I don't think any of the other options will fit.

That is three for ship so that is unanimus.

Does the GM provide the ship or do the players pick within a $$$ range?

Its within a range. Feel free to kick around ideas anywhere under 150K credits

Everyone seems to end up with a YT-1300.  How about a KST-100 Kestrel class for a change??

That is a very generous range, IMO.


YKL-37R Nova Courier looks VERY nice.

I only really have access to the F&D book and this website for options:
https://star-wars-rpg-ffg.fand...reighters_%26_Liners

The KTS-100 is not listed on that site so I can't take a look. Compare it to the Nova Courier and see which is better. I especially like the cannons can be fired in any direction and there are concussion missiles that can fire fore and aft, no handling penalty, speed 3 and up to 8 total people on board (2+6).

I figured I would rather have you guys pick out a ship that you like but have it...flawed. Gives you something to work towards. After all, a used vehicle always has some areas that need a little TLC ;)

"Love is what keeps a ship flying??"

poor quote (likely misquote) from some guy in that Firefly show.

OK, I got a look at the KST-100 and would still rather have the Nova Courier for the following Reasons:

Faster Hyperdrive
Better Armor (This more than offsets the slightly more Trauma of the KTS-100)
More Passenger Space
Less Rare and thus parts mods will be more likely.
1 more Hard Point
Higher Damage main weapon
-Secondary Weapon - Missiles

The KST-100 can still not outrun a Tie Fighter with it's better speed. The 2 extra strain is not a lot. If it was the KTS-100 or the YT, I would take the KTS-100.

Just my opinion on it. Not heard specifics from anybody else yet.

Alright here are my thoughts on KST-100 vs. YKL-37R Nova

Both have the same speed and size and armor (both are armor 3, size 3, speed 4)
KST is +1 handling, Nova is neutral.
KST has +1 hull and +2 SS
Nova has +30 cargo and +2 passengers
Nova has 2 medium laser cannon turrets and 2 concussion missile launchers

That being said from personal experience I know just how baller concussion missile launchers can be. While the +1 Handling on the KST is AMAZING...like seriously you use pilot checks for everything so a free bump is godly however the extra cargo and passenger space plus the missile launcher seals the deal for me to vote for the YKL-37R Nova.

Let me propose a name for the ship: Aquila Rift after one of the more memorable bits of short fiction/episodes of Love, Death, and Robots.

Seriously though every episode would make a great spaceship name:
Sonnie's Edge
The Witness
The Dump
Good Hunting
Lucky 13
Zima Blue
Blindspot


Okay not every episode. I doubt "When the Yoghurt Took Over" will make anyone's top vote :P

I suggested the KST because the Ghost from Rebels.  Hardly a proverbial hill I'm going to die on.

OTOH, The Lucky 13 sounds kinda neat.

I guess I am just looking at the wrong ship for the KTS-100 then. It only had 2 armor and had 3/4 vs the Nova's 3 armor and 4/3 size/speed.

Course, I am only looking at online stuff, vs in the books, since I have no idea where either ship is in the books. I have very little experience outside of F&D.

It's in the Dawn of the Rebellion book which isn't really disseminated online very well so my guess is you found someone's fan stats instead of official ones.

So I take it we're going with the Nova?

It seems that way based on Lokh's analysis. The Nova is not quiet as superior as I thought, but still the better of the two ships all around.
