Has *Signals From The Core* died? I've seen no episodes arrive since number four.

Thanks, Nigel. So there are two different sorts of Agility modifiers - ones that do give Athletics (dex) and ones that don't? And then there are also tactical speed enhancements that do the same as the non-dexterity agility modifiers but are called something completely different? But it looks...

Does the intrinsic Agility +1 from grav locomotion (RH p16) grant Athletics (dexterity) 1, or does that come only from the paid-for agility enhancements (RH p22)? Assuming it does grant it, does an additional Agility +1 enhancement (for a further 100% base chassis cost) take it to Athletics...

Very pleased to see the Compendium there. Also pleased for the Fleets of the Minor Powers but sad it's not until October. Very sad that the Vehicle Handbook and Vehicle Catalogue have both been pushed out 2-3 months :(

This is a very good idea. That becomes just shining a torch on the target, though? I agree. I don't like it much. I did suggest that it lets anyone with Gun Combat 0 get up to GC 1 in everything pretty quickly, but he doesn't seem troubled. I'd be much happier if it at least had to be...

Our ref has ruled that while kicking our heels on board ship, we can practice things, and using a variant of "experience points" from the Companion. If we can successfully make a roll, we get an experience point. Up to once per shipboard day. I want to improve my Gun Combat (energy hand...

Yeah, we're at crossed purposes. I meant what the in-world effect is - what the character sees, rather than what the players and referee see in the dice.

That JTAS article seems to describe one stunner that can also function as a laser but doesn't mention variable power output.

With a stunner, how does the shooter know what ring they hit?

Thank you for taking me back down memory lane to the days when I would be directed by ATC to eg "squawk 7040 with ident"

Thanks. So, you are thinking it needs specialist equipment, rather than just hanging a rolled up tarp from a cargo strap, or whatever I can find in corners of the hold or engineering?

IYTU the stunner has power levels? Do you handle that as number of dice, or something?

What sort of "register" are you thinking of here?

Is that how the stunner works? For some reason I assumed it's yobba rays.

That's what I'm thinking. Maybe some aluminium foil over the front of a white flat surface, and on a successful hit the white shows a scorch mark? So a 30x30cm square of wood or thermo-sensitive plastic, swinging from a cargo strap?
