Should I start a thread labeled Barbarians of the Void Play Reports?

I think a seperate thread for BotV Play Reports would be a good idea; that way we can keep this thread for discussing rules etc and have the play reports all together in one thread.

BTW - has anyone heard from nerosfiddle lately? I know he was expecting to have some PC issues but I hope he can join us again soon.

Another Starship Boon I'm using in my game.

ION Cannons: One or more of this ship's weapons are ION Cannons. These cannons damage all systems except Hull and Boons. Law enforcement and interdiction military ships use them to capture vessels. Pirates pay good money to get their hands on these weapons. Systems disabled by this type of weapon recover one point per hour after taking damage.

A ship will have a supply of satellites and probes (enough for one planet) equal to its size rating.

Not sure about this statement. I understand the supply being equal to the size rating but how does that equate to being enough for one planet? One ship of size 4 compared to a ship of size 2 obviously have a different number of satellites and probes; how is it determined how many are needed for one planet? Using Mongoose Traveller, Earth would be a size 8 planet - perhaps a similar scale can be used to determine the minimum number of satellites etc that are required?

Also, what about ships that have the Capital Ship boon?

For my game I'm not worrying about how many satilites per planet. It is enough for me to know if you have enough or not. If the planet is larger I will add some time to the survey, or work off of the difficulty chart. I'm not sizing planets or anything like that. Capital Ships always have enough.

OK - so are you saying that the supply equaling the size rating is an idicator of how many planets can be surveryed before the need to re-stock? I can certainly see that making sense, although I do like the idea of the planet size also coming in to play.

I can't stop myself!
New Starship Boon
Tractor Beam: The starship can “capture” and tow other starships at Short range. Use Career + TACOM + Size and subtract target ship Size, Speed and ECM. Tractor Beams do not get the +1 bonus that weapons do at Short range.
