Most of the time, though, your shots simply amount to ticking off armor boxes or crossing off systems on your ship diagram. But there's more to a starship than gun emplacements, engines, and electronics. When I run my convention scenarios, I like to describe to the players what happens with the non-critical hits, or when someone takes out a cargo space on a transport. However, it's tough coming up with something on the fly, so I whipped up this table for future reference.

ReplyDeleteOne hit on the septic tank on starship that size and I would abandon ship!
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit late to this party, but I've added my own version of the non-critical hits table here: http://colgar6.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/damage-control-to-disco-lounge.html . It's not quite the same as the original; I've added a number of items of my own.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for the original idea!
