To be honest, I'd guess that banking between systems would probably work much as it did between nations back in the age of sail: you carry proof of your banking details (likely in the form of an encrypted data-card or some such), and the bank within that system will arrange credit for you. They...

You could always say that a punch from someone untrained that misses by 3 or less simply didn't connect with enough force/accuracy to cause actual damage. No change in rules, but the description actually makes sense.

Good old zombie ants. All you need to do is find somewhere for the zombies to need to go, and maybe give the fungus some kind of intelligence (it can't make the zombies run because it doesn't have *that* good control over its hosts), so that it can work out when it needs to attack stuff. At...

Oh why did I not finish reading the post before voting? Ah well; after voting for all but Harn, I then finished reading and realised that I can't actually take part because that would be from midnight to 5am my time. Damn.

Yep, as opposed to RAI (Rules As Intended), since all it takes is a misplaced comma to completely change a rule ;).

I'd probably rule it as roll 1d6, and that's the maximum per location.

Thing is, the Yamato needs to get up close to the other ship that's capable of hurting her; otherwise she only has a particle beam bay and a couple of beam lasers versus the very high yield particle beams (which begs the question why the Yamato is flying away from the Black Swan - she's safer...

Also playing in that game, and thus far it has been pretty decent.

I'd be willing to run Secrets of the Ancients as a pbem if I had other players interested.

My phone ate my original post, but here it is in a mangled form: It depends entirely on the game and the campaign in question. For example, Pavis Rises is a perfectly good introductory campaign - for beginning PCs with an experienced GM. If the GM doesn't understand the setting particularly...

Does it have a spinal weapon capable of destroying planets, by any chance?

I'm pretty sure I did put Reflec on the Yamato. *checks loadout* Yep, thought so.

The Amethyst took two singles to the Fuel Tank from the particle beam, followed by one from a torpedo.

Interesting theory. If I had to point out just one flaw in your reasoning, it would probably be the idea of indoctrinating people into communism using the most expensive phone on the market. Yes, I know it's a joke. The game itself looks relatively cool, but I'm not rich enough to afford an...

1200 ton works fine, and I'll get a character ready soon.
