this is the right attitude

if those fucking death star gunners had a poster in their workstation that said this

they wouldn't have lost the goddamn death star would they



duhr there's no life forms hold your fire

i hope vader choked this guy to death after he found out who gave the order not to fire on the escape pod with the plans it it

jimninja

I'm pretty sure that to date I have never once managed, online or in a real game, to land a 'just pray for a 20' roll

Maybe I'll learn to tip dice like those guys in Las Vegas, except instead of cheating casinos to win thousands at craps, I'll just be shooting pretend robots

Horseshoe

i probably shouldn't link "jigaboo jones" again

but i can't help it

settin' dice

INeedNoSalt

solid minute of just names

jimninja

that video was exactly what was in my mind

Horseshoe

shit i just linked the one with the file i thought was correct

sorry about that salt

anyway the long and the shor to fit is that the dude can pretty much roll any combination he wants on a pair of six sided dice

it's impressive to watch

INeedNoSalt

oh i'm just commenting

it's not a problem since it comes at the end of the video

just, like, why does this guy feel it's necessary to include like 80 seconds of scrolling names?

Super Namicchi

it's so quiet

i just imagine our ships slowly and silently floating through space

occasionally shooting silent laser bolts

Hermenegilde

nope. the bolts in star wars make noise.

Just_Bri_Thanks

Unrelated directly to the ongoing game, and because this is a SW OOc thread, if someone gets a kick out of making Starship floor plans could you give me a PM? I have a really strange design in mind and I need someone pretty creative to pull it off.

jimninja

If everybody's done, I'll post up the next round soon.

e: oh and by the way Salt you missed that ship by one so if you wanted to use a FP whatev and if you didn't that's cool too

The dogfight rules are on page 171 of the Star Wars Saga Edition rulebook.

SWSE wrote:

Dogfight (pilot only)

As a standard action, the pilot of an airspeeder or starfighter can initiate a dogfight against an enemy airspeeder or starfighter in an adjacent square (starship scale). Make a Pilot check at a -5 penalty, opposed by the enemy's Pilot check. If you succeed, you and the target vehicle are engaged in a dogfight.

Consequences of Dogfighting: A vehicle engaged in a dogfight must select the dogfight action on every turn, and it cannot move out of its current square until it disengages (see below). While engaged in a dogfight, you cannot attack any target outside the dogfight.

Firing into a Dogfight: If another vehicle fires into a dogfight, it takes a -5 penalty on its attack roll unless the gunner has the Precise Shot feat.

Attacking in a Dogfight: Make an opposed Pilot check as a standard action. If you win the opposed checked, you may make a single attack with a vehicle weapon as a swift action. If you fail, you cannot attack the target, and any gunners on your vehicle take a -5 penalty on any attack rolls they make until your next turn.

Disengaging from a Dogfight: Make an opposed Pilot check as a move action. If you win the opposed check, you successfully disengage from the dogfight and may move a number of squares equal to your speed. If you fail, you remain in the dogfight, and any gunners on your vehicle take a penalty on any attack rolls they make until your next turn.

Attack of Opportunity: If an enemy starfighter tries to move through your square or an adjacent square, you may attempt to initiate a dogfight as an attack of opportunity. If successful, the enemy starfight must stop moving.

well see i didnt have no idea what their Reflex was

but also i didn't account for not being proficient

so it should've been like 6 down, so im not gonna risk the FP

jimninja

Oh okay yeah, I hadn't posted that shit

and I've got the defense stuck in the statblock now too for easy reference

INeedNoSalt

is it possible that if we're using loose ship-by-ship initiative that my gunner can take a shot before i move?

he's not gonna have a clearer shot than he does right now.

jimninja

absolutely, that's part of the reason I wanted to do it like that

Super Namicchi

still rolled a 14, which is only a 9 with the -5 proficiency penalty

last round, mm. after ship 2 does its stuff, you've got a clear shot before i zoom through the asteroids.

Hermenegilde

My engineer died. And my gunner has gone into the silent lands.

I'm waiting for thanatos to come back and shoot at that thing...

Hermenegilde

Can a freighter be invloved in dogfighting ?

Hermenegilde

cause it says starfighters and landspeeders....

And I wouldn't think it has the manoeuverabilty fot it.

All right, if I can. lets roll.

jimninja

My intention was more that it was a 'freighter' in name only... think of it more as a big Y-wing . It's a relatively cheap design, made to drop down on top of a cargo container and pick that up with clamps, so it actually doesn't have much in the way of cargo space.

so yeah, it's nimble enough (after a fashion) to be in a dogfight. Out here on the Outer Rim, what with the wars and pirates that come with that, ships had to be pretty capable. It may be slow, but it can still do some fun stuff. It's been souped up just a touch with those fun guns and shields--the Bandomeer Run is a dangerous place.

Also, the Jedi should probably shoot something.

mightyspacepope

Just to add to the freighter dogfight discussion, freighters can engage in dogfights if they have Combat Thrusters (p. 40, Starships of the Galaxy). It also treats you as a size category smaller in terms of being targeted by capital ship weaponry.

He should but he's goooooone.
(bumped his head on the overhead I guess, or he's stuck in the loo with diarrhea)

If it has combat thrusters.

Edit, wow I am slow.
