DITL Battles: Rules (Second Edition)

[Lt. Staplic]

mine keeps bogging down b/c Reliant wont send his orders!

[Teaos]

My Battle royal has already passed the other two battles in rounds and blood spilt

[Nickswitz]

Yeah, it has Teaos, and I'm gonna get really hurt this round

[Sionnach Glic]

Hell, I'm still waiting on a certain someone to send me their orders for the one I'm modding.

[Lt. Staplic]

sorry, Rochey, no one posted in the comments thread, I didn't know the new phase was up.

[Mark]

We are ALWAYS waiting on SOMEBODY

[Sionnach Glic]

I added the new fire and compartment venting rules into the main rules. They're now official.

Also, while looking over the rules I realised I never specified just what decides whether or not a ship takes a crit. That's now been rectified.

[sunnyside]

Actually it seems you have two ways to score a crit now. Either by hitting a section and rolling a 12 or 11 depending on weapon power. Or you can throw doubles.
(Well, three ways if you count specifically targeting something)

[Sionnach Glic]

Uh, fixed. Dunno how or why I put that there.

So after about 15 months of you guys running these things I decided to peak my head into here and read the rules and I read some of the battles. If you guys do another team battle I'd be interested. Though I'm not sure which side I'd be on. I know the most about Federation ships naturally. Though that planned Borg vs Federation looked fun too.

[Tsukiyumi]

...Though that planned Borg vs Federation looked fun too.

Agreed.

[Nickswitz]

Yeah, we still have a couple games to finish before that. Glad to have you join us Monroe

[Lt. Staplic]

Monroe, if you want to get into a battle, post in the Battle Sign-Ups thread.

I had a thought about damage.

When a enemy ship suffers damage, the science/ops officer usually scans the ship to determine the extent of the damage inflicted. We could open up a new realm of tactics this way.

If the science officer must make a roll to determine the damage done to a ship, it would allow for a more realistic effect, plus enemies could "jam" your scan to hide damage and maybe "play possum".

[Lt. Staplic]

I found a 'sparknotes' version of the rules this game was originally based on a few months ago and have been kind of sifting through them. I thought the Tractor Beam/ Bording party rules were pretty interesting and I know that you used to have rules for that kind of thing so I've been working on outfitting a set of rules for these to go along with my shuttle rules as an addition to the game. If a couple people want to do a small little battle to test these rules out that would be great.

I'll get them posted when I get home so you guys can critique them before they go into service.
