The gunner and the tank commander are in enclosed vehicles, but parts of them are sticking out. Sailors on the deck: people manning deck guns or in the rigging of a sailing vessel, Anti-aircraft guns on a TL 4-6 frigate/destroyer/cruiser, etc. People wholly inside an enclosed vehicle are not...

Control Tab: You have to add a new line above the "last" entry. Once it sees "last" it stops looking. The name has to match the tab name, do not put spaces in the Tab name. Green fields for crew/passengers Mine are all green. Edit for clarification: Column H, starting at Row 11 Use Spaces...

There is nothing to suggest that a critical failure on a first aid Medical check does damage. The minimum of 1 means there cannot be negatives IF a failed check does anything. But you do you. I doubt that clarification will be forthcoming.

People don't seem to be coming down on people who say, "I am not backing this." I am not backing, because my players enjoy MgT2, but do not like 5E... and an expensive buy in exceeding the scope of prepaid gift cards that may or may not be accepted. (A growing issues of late. I couldn't buy...

Or some wildly elliptical orbits.

To be fair, with almost every standard warship and player ship, they are doing a lot less running away and a lot more going in the opposite direction relatively slowly with respect to the Naval vessel in the hopes of spinning up the jump drive before they are overtaken... or better still, within...

1. A failed First Aid check does nothing, beyond wasting time. If less than a minute has elapsed, another First Aid check is allowed. Once a roll succeeds, you cannot use first aid again (unless you have another injury - and then you are limited to the amount of recent damage). Certain medical...

I'd prefer to play in my own setting, but my players keep insisting on the Spinward Marches

The Ship's Computer thing is unchanged.

As previously mentioned, if you are within firing range of a ship that is on the other side of an object with enough gravity to significantly lens your beam, you have much bigger problems than an enemy ship.
