Sven is from Gram in the Sword Worlds. He was on a merchant trader as an engineer for several years, then went into the Imperial Navy. He was Chief of Boat before long with his extensive engineering skill.

Perhaps we've sailed together before? If so, I probably didn't like your 'reckless way of flying Navy property'.

I was probably flying extra recklessly, trying to impress you with my daring, fearlessness and charm. ;)

Does our ship have a name?

EDIT: I'm gonna call her Damascene for the moment, because it's fancy and it starts with D (and it's a type D patrol, geddit). I'll edit later if it does have a name and I missed it.

The ISS Damascene? ... or Dramascene? lol.

Works for me!

Quick question tho. Do we actually have a comms officer?

I have no idea. I think we have a (potential) fifth player, but no idea of what their role is. I also don't know if Comms would fall under some of the skills we already have, perhaps it's Helmsman?

Unrelated, @Gamemaster: how does Command work exactly? Should I roll now to see what the adequate course of action would be, or do I decide that *and then* roll Command to see how well it goes?

From the rulebook:

"successful Commander checks include bolster morale of those you lead (+20 to WIL checks), spot enemy weakness (give allies +2D damage in the following turn), etc."

Also, if anyone want to roll against a specific skill for more info, roll d100 and let me know what you are trying to determine.

Right, I did roll, and it was Not A Great Roll :<

 When there is a chance, could we have a list of what we have  in way of equipment  in the ship's locker, or otherwise.

 Also, what sort of authority  do we have?

In reply to Blent Okara (msg # 65):

Hmmm, a slow game I guess.

I was wondering (no pressure), are we supposed to do something more before the Damascene reaches the pirate ship or our lasers are in range? Or we just wait? It's OK either way, I just want to know :)

Gamergirl was here Saturday. It moves at it's leisure, I'm good as long as I know.

Sorry I haven't posted. Things were getting busy. Preparing for Spring softball. Prepping for my blackbelt test. School. Plus this weekend was the Superbowl AND I had two family birthday's to help celebrate.

Things should be back on track now.

@Blent Okara, how's your gunner skill? So we know if trying to hit their weapons system is too demanding.

@Gamemaster, can we see exactly what weapons systems does the Aslan ship have, now that we are in sensor range? And also any markings to suggest it is indeed Aslan military?

In reply to Lieutenant Daphne Arslan (msg # 70):

 Not sure, to be honest. I suppose he has basic ship's gunnery skill. In Traveller it is possible for Marines to get this skill.
