Triple Bascinet PdG To hit 6 Dmg 1 Max hits 3 Point defense

>What is this about?
This is a kind of strategy game where you control a space ship, battle space enemies and hopefully don't get turned into space debris. In space.

It has been thousands of years since humans discovered FTL. In that time humanity settled a corner of the Galaxy, discovered no non-human sapient species and managed to become an ancient precursor civilization to itself at least a few times. Right now humanity is pretty divided, with states ranging from 4-5 systems to a single orbital habitat, and low-level space warfare is ubiquitous. This is where you come in.

>How can I join?
It's simple:
- Choose a name for your ship
- Put it into your trip
- Read the rules: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kIfAEId3VPOG4889bMav1oLWdcYKvHNk7evqrAu6FUI/edit?usp=sharing
- Design your ship (or take a sample one provided below)
-- You can also design a squadron of smaller ships if you want
- Copy the stats of your ship into the bottom of your posts.

>Please note!
- This game uses Newtonian movement. Don't skip the movement rules section!
- Remember that projectile and seeker attacks target a specific hex.
- Also remember that multi-weapon mounts require charging each weapon independently.

Ok, here we are. And, not surprisingly at all, we're facing armed opposition. Damn those self-improving AIs with rapid manufacturing capabilities.

These ships seem like copies of popular frigate designs. I'll put up the scanner report on them shortly. The probe itself, though... All I can say it's one ugly bugger. Those improvised armor plates look horrible, just horrible. And the shield emitters just stick out with no care for aestethics.

Filled my ship up and came in at 301 cost Did I do this right?

>>971928
I make that ship cost 340.

Rook hull - 160
Priwen generator - 24
Shield emitter 2 - 12
Shield emitter 2 - 12
LPL - 27
+facing - 13
+facing - 13
+facing - 13
LPL - 27
+facing - 13

+facing - 13

It also uses 14 capacity when your chassis only has 11.

Increasing the firing arcs of weapons makes them cost more and take up more space, and giving them 360 coverage like you did is pretty costly in both categories.

>>971946
Putting them on the same mount cuts down on cost I thought? Twin linked on a mount would simply make me have to pay for facing once at the cost of a luck hit dropping my weapons all at once.

Rook hull - 160
Priwen generator - 24
Shield emitter 2 - 12
Shield emitter 2 - 12
LPL - 27

+facing - 13

>>971952

The advantage of twin mounts is they take only 1 AP to shoot. The facing cost is not reduced

>>971870

Merry Hell, what did you mean by
>Turn to facing 6
>Move 1
?
If "turn to 6 then accelerate 1 hex", that would bring you to a dangerous speed inside a rock cluster
If "turn to 6 then accelerate to 1", then that's impossible because you only can turn once

>>971967
Sorry, the rules said movement was always in the direction you were facing, so I assumed it was implicit that any move action was to add thrust forward.

>If "turn to 6 then accelerate 1 hex", that would bring you to a dangerous speed inside a rock cluster
Yep, sure will. But if I continue on my current predictable course I'm probably going to eat a railgun slug. I'll take the chance of asteroid damage to duck and weave a bit and make my hard to lead. Plus I'll be out of the field after this turn anyhow.

...would it help if I said I like to live on the edge?

>>972543
since g2 only needs 1 more hit, redirect all the other missiles and aim them at s2 since it is in range and all that

>>972516
Entering asteroids hits on 3-. S3 rolled higher.
Missiles aren't retargetable. Maybe with some additional tech...

>>972512
Hexes are really big and you have to take into account projectile time to target. In short, you can't hit anything in hexes you don't explicitly target.

>>972551
To target 2 different ships you need 2 attack actions, so it's one or the other.

>>972512
To move 6 you have to turn to 6, which brings the probe out of your forward arc

>>972520
I only now have noticed you ordered a burn last turn. Sorry. I really have not to run late at night.
Still, I won't retcon the last turn's movement, because it introduces a lot of complications and because I don't see how your next position could be adjacent at 6.

>>973420
Fair enough. My reasoning was that by burning in that direction I would cancel out the hex of thrust from turn 2, leaving me moving 6-ward at a rate of one hex, but it was late for me also, because in retrospect that's not how physics works at all, is it? If I wanted to slow down I'd first have to get on to a track where I can even orient myself along the direction I'm going (which I just did, as it happens).

>>973477
So how do you want to move this turn?
You were already turned to 5 so you can perform a more complex maneuver.

>>973478
Hm, so I was.

Turn me to 4 then, if you please. I'd like to get a start on slowing down, but I don't want to give up my firing angle just yet.

>>973478
By the way, that probe looks pretty big. Does it not have a size mod?

>>973494
Its size mod is +1
+2 is reserved for truly BIG ships
You will know when you see one.

>>973499
Foreboding...

(That being the case I would have hit it twice last turn, since the target number was 6 and I aimed, rolled 7 and it added +1 for size. Though it's shields would still be up, so if it recovered them the point is moot. By the same token I also nicked it this turn, for what that's worth).

>>973508
You're right, it should have been 8 damage. It's easy to fix though.

Jormungder, we're getting strange readings on your position here, please wait a minute...
<sounds of sensitive equipment being kicked>
...That's better, you electronic junkbox. Maybe I'll let you live. A bit more.

>>973697
This probe is an actively maneuvering combat craft, captain Harding. I don't think you'll be able to board it while its engines still work.

>>975721
I would rather say "almost at the final point". One of the probe's defenders was eliminated in a brilliant display of extreme predjudice, the other has its laser destroyed, this mission is as good as complete. It's not like the probe can assemble more drones on such a short notice.

...

I just had to say that, didn't I?

This is correct
Don't know why you'd want to do this though, PD protects against missiles, not drones. To shoot PD at drones, you need to switch it from PD mode (1AP) then shoot it like any other weapon (1AP per mount)

>>976591
>Fire 6 missiles at the drones, each missile targeting a different drone
When attacking a drone squadron, each hit automatically goes to a different drone.
You didn't specify which squadron you're attacking though, there's 4 of them there.

>>978222
wait, so PDs won't automatically shoot enemies?

>>978969
PD automatically shoots at attacking missiles. Enemies are a different matter.
PD did shoot at small craft in the original Voidstriker rules, but that didn't work well in a skirmish format.

>>978979
well okay then.
