Sounds good. Once you're ready I'll fly the Wildcard to you. Try not to track mud into my cargo hold.

"Mud, (Laugh)." Just worry that I don't bring a whole village with me.

MalcolmShaw, I am not sure if you missed this. But AericSteele already has Silver meeting the locals: Source 9t.

I missed that post. Not sure how but I did.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention though.

The Referee relays...

I apologize for the delay in posting; I will hopefully have something up either today or tomorrow. As it stands right now I have the party and the enemy squad in very similar circumstances where recon rolls are required to spot each other and then with both sides having cover this will modify the hit chances so we may be in for a fairly lengthy combat encounter. Any suggestions on how to speed it up a bit? Maybe having everyone roll several recon checks to pinpoint when in the encounter they are able to spot the enemy?

Right now the party has spotted two of the opposing soldiers but you don't know whether any of you guys have been spotted yet.

Hmm, I think rolling multiple recon checks with each attack isn't a bad idea. Maybe 4 at a time.

Ajit, a recon check would be considered a major action. So it would replace the attack. Not a bad idea to have one person doing recon every other round though.

I would like to add my money, I have the same amount as Maiokus has on his profile (212,055Cr. Or 57,500Cr.)? To answer Njal's zodiac style boat… I looked at the Supplement 6: Military Vehicles. It has an extensive list of making custom vehicles and I write here everything and we can buy the boat in our next major port. Everything is calculated in M3

Buggy: 8 M3 (To count as small inflatable boat)
Gunskiff: 20 M3, open

Construction:
Light Alloys (TL6): hull multiplier *1.1, mass/M3 80, cost 250Cr./M3, armour 2
Advanced Composites (TL7): hull multiplier *1.25, mass/M3 90, cost 500Cr./M3, armour 4

Configuration:
Open (TL1): mass multiplier *0.9, hull cost *1, 1M3 per crew 0.5M3 per passenger
Streamlined (Tl1): mass multiplier *1, hull cost *1.3

Qualities:
Lightweight construction (TL1): mass multiplier *0.8, hull cost *1.5,hull and structure *0.7, vehicle cannot have extra armour
Sealing waterproof (TL1): mass multiplier *1, hull cost *1.2
Sealing extreme enviroment/advanced (TL7): mass *1.1, hull cost *3
So for a zodiac-like gunskiff the calculations should be:

Advanced composites: 500*20=10,000Cr. Open: 1*10,000=10,000Cr. Streamlined: 1.3*10,000=13,000Cr. Sealing TL7: 3*13,000=39,000Cr.

Total: 39,000Cr.

Total M3: 20*1.25=25 M3

Base hull: 20/4=5 advanced composites: 5*1.25=6.25 lightweight: 6.25*0.8=5 round up: 5

Base structure: 20/4=5 advanced composites: 5*1.25=6.25 lightweight: 6.25*0.8=5 round up: 5

Also, we have to add an engine and powerplant: waterdriven TL4 engine is 10% *M3=2.5 M3 cost: 5,000Cr*M3= 12,500Cr.

Hydrogen Fuel Cell-7 TL7 powerplant is 1,500Cr.

So for a total of a Spec-Ops Zodiac that takes 7 people (The whole crew basically) we will need 53,000Cr. Without any weapon mounts and other equipment. On the plus side, it is an one time buy. The fuel is 1M3 per 1000 liters and for the Hydrogen the efficiency is *1.5 .
Also, I saw that we bought a cutter, can we suppose that we taken it with us and not left in the Wildcard?
