Hello all... I'm new to the boards. Tried to play SF back in middle school (when it was new) and everybody dies so we never warmed up to the game.<div><br /></div><div>I'm itching to run it now for my crew and I'm hoping our gaming will be better, I am having them all make Space Fleet officers with 15-30 XP points to spend "advancing" characters because I don't want them to be "green" starting characters. They will be the command staff on a UPF Frigate. My adventure is meant to be short involving some ship "stuff" and also some planet based "stuff". I'm planning to have them each make two character, one that will go on the "away" mission and the other to man the ship in orbit.</div><div><br /></div><div>So I have a few questions about how you handle the space stuff.</div><div><br /></div><div>During a Space battle, some of the character whom are not gunners or the pilot of the frigate will do what exactly? I'm trying to decide how to make the experience fun for all the players. I was planning on having them be the crew of just the one frigate, so I'm not thinking of giving each one thier own ship. This is my first question... what do you do with the non-pilots/gunners during the space action?</div><div><br /></div><div>During a battle, that every three round "Repair" round is not actually a seperate time segment but meant to reflect efforts during the prior three rounds... so my second question is how do the engineers not end up blood smears on the inside walls of the ship if they are crawling around fixing things while the ship is using its MR and ADF? </div><div><br /></div><div>My last question. Other than the Assault Carrier, no capital ships carry fighters. I was wondering if fighters could be attached to the exterior of a Frigate and also possibly a Frieghter in the same fashion a life boat or launch might be? Or even if the fighters had some kind of clamping machanism the fighter pilot could spacewalk to get into the cockpit.</div><div><br /></div><div>Oh.. thought of a forth question. I've seem some posts here mentioning "Laser Pods" as some kind of fighter based weapon. Is that just somebodies home brew thing or is thier an article or post about alternate armermants for fighters. I find it amusing that some of the KH's art shows what I think are fighters dogfighting using Foreward Fire laser/projectile wing mounted weapons... when the game doesn't have such a thing. As in fighters have rockets and even assault scouts have a laser turrent not something that is FF.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>
