===== "PHASER-G": "Full shields" on the Andro means "PA panels at standard level." The Kzinti ship lost one crew unit in segment one, due to internal hits. Some very interesting battle action this segment! Some very close calls and a couple missed opportunities. Going 8 impulses at a time brings these in more than if we sat around face-to-face playing an impulse at a time. I bet we're more efficient this way, too. I've never tried a live scenario with 13 players, but I can (barely) imagine it. If you are not hearing back from another captain, you can try contacting him via the moderator. There may be a couple weird situations where that approach would work. Consider the moderator to be a deep space beacon used to synchronize clocks, confirm position, and test low-level communications routines. At the end of each turn, Twirling Aces Battle Points may be awarded, based on participation (1 point for actually playing in a game) and damage inflicted (by numbers of internals inflicted). Special achievements (capturing an enemy ship, defeating monsters, winning a scenario, etc.) can earn bonus points. Twirling Aces Battle Points are valid for your career, and will sometimes be used to seed players and for some scenarios to determine order of side/ship selection. Tip of the week: Erratic Maneuvering increases Turn Mode by one. ================================================= SPEED CHART: [For simplicity's sake, all speed change announcements are listed here.
