Beam stream-Tally
- Thread starter TGT
- Start date
I had a Tethys Laser Boat demolish a Tigara in a single burst from it's medium laser in the opening shot of the game.
Rolled a 6 to spot, then tagged and slagged with 13 beam dice before the dice ran out.
That was hilarious.
All my Thethys then died the following round. The Mimbo proceeded to hunt down and demolish every single on of the little bogarts.
Said something about "Killing Them On Principle."
The rest of the game was a Earth-Minbari War style slaughter though. Spent half the game wasting fire ineffectively against stealthed ships.

Best guess, it's not like I record all my rolls in case anyone asks :wink:
I don't love my dice as much as you do, I might get good beam hits but my fighters keep rolling 1s for dodge saves

I had a Primus score 9 hits on a Hermes on turn 1 and then score nor more than 3 hits each turn for the rest of the game...
Strangely our group has taken to recording all our rolls (or more precisely expected vs real outcomes) due to having it up to here (go find a chin high visual) with folks telling us we were misremembering our results.
Generally we've had much higher or much lower than the expected results. With only long games coming close to averaging out. Best shot I've seen so far was a 1 die Mag gun dropping 9 hits. Loves me those single die weapons I do.

Sorry for the thread necromancy.... But I just have to share this:
One of my Tinashi ships opened fire on a lightly scratched Sagittarius. I made 7 hits (Double Damage) with the Beam attack. Ok, so that isn't so amazing on 4AD, except that I made an additional double 6s on a critical. Rolling a 16 for the hull (don't forget the Double Damage...), the single volley took a minor damaged ship and made it explode instantly! Again, this is sorta expected except that nearby, there was a second Sagittarius, 2 damaged Hermes and nearly all of his fighters (oh, and 2 of my Torthas). The resulting explosion, took out both Hemes, all but 1 fighter stand, and effectively, the second Sagittarius as well.
So, a single 4 AD, Double Damage Beam essentially destroyed roughly 18 fighters, 2 Hermes and 2 Sagittarius! Perhaps this isn't what everyone was looking for, but it certainly was dramatic.
I have to say, that was the best, single beam attack I ever made.

Well, the remedy is simple:
Curse your opponent
Curse the game
Curse the dice
Curse yourself for being so careless by massing so many ships over a small area
Then ask politely your opponent to play again (of course, you should make sure he would have forgotten you cursed him).

That's because 1 die weapons for you have always done remarkable damage against my ships.
I think your single die roll phaser strikes at me in SFB have averaged 2.5 points of damage or so at range 15 for the last several years.
We have people like that round here. Now tell me it was a Ph3 and then I'll be impressed

Oh yeah, but when you throw 11 dice against hull 5, you get roughly 3-4 dodge rolls. Every time, my opponent rolled, he rolled at least 1 "1" per volley. So, he should have lost closer to 6 instead of all 18, but it was still a great 4AD shot.
It doesn't matter too much anyway, because the next time we played, I was stomped all over and I did nothing nearly as great as the last time. I never did more than 4-5 hits with any one of my beam attacks...
Good times, great game!
