Example text
The pilot can choose to change the ship’s spike frequency after the enemy has declared what phase they’re shooting into. Float Like A Leaf: The pilot kills the ship’s internal gravity for one round, briefly and drastically altering its handling profile. For one round, the ship gains a -2 bonus to its Armor Class while the enemy targeting computers compensate. This command is not effective two rounds in a row, though it can be used interspersed with other choices. Between The Rain: This command works only when two or more enemies are firing on the ship.
If running a naval campaign, it’s best to automatically assume that the ship’s engineer passes the Tech/Astronautics check to prevent the ship’s explosion when it reaches 0 hit points; if you don’t, the entire campaign’s progression then hinges on a single die roll, and that’s rarely a useful place for a GM to put a game. Even if not reduced to a rapidly-expanding cloud of metal gas, PCs are likely to be in trouble if their ship is disabled. Power and pressure will almost certainly be lost by then, and PCs not safely in vacc suits or ship suits will face a short and unpleasant future.
Vulnerable for only one round, with AC 4, no effective armor, and 5 hit points. Both lifters and drop pods can be launched safely so long as their parent ship evades the station’s sensors. Returning from the surface, however, gives the station a second chance to detect them and engage them from orbit, as standard lifters and drop pods lack the stealth circuitry available to actual starships. A single military orbital can effectively protect one hemisphere of a world. With 24 hours of careful maneuvering, the station can switch hemispheres, but the maneuver jets on a space station are too weak to give it effective tactical movement options.
