Starship House Rules

This is a revision to the starship rules for the Star Wars RPG. Much of the system is left intact, asthe rules are fairly good, but this revision makes them just right.

Starship Systems

Sensors:

Sensors can be used in one of four modes, each with its own bonuses and limitations. Sensorrolls are made using the Computer Use skill.

Starship Combat

Starship Combat Actions:Each crewman on a starship has 1 move action, 1 attack action, and at least 1 free action (if not

more). What can be done with each action depends on what job a character has.

Commander:

Commanders direct action on-board their ship.

Pilot:The pilot determines where the ship moves. Before taking any action, they must declare what

speed the ship is operating at: Stationary, Docking, Cruising, Attack, or Ramming. Pilots who

execute Full-Round Actions (because they are operating another ship system which requires afull-round action) place a -4 penalty on their ship's Defense until their next action, but may still

move the ship as normal. Pilots who make attacks using non-front facing weapons suffer a -4

penalty to their attack rolls. Finally, a pilot may give up their next attack action to make a pilotroll at any time one is required.

Crew Quality:

Crews have the following statistics for starship combat based on their quality:

Ace 11+ +7 +4 +20

Making Attack Rolls:Attacks with starship weapons are calculated differently than normal attacks. First determine the

character's normal ranged attack modifier without any modifiers specific to starship combat, suchas starship Familiarity or Fire Control Systems. Divide this number in half, rounded down, and

then apply any applicable starship bonuses or penalties.

The penalty for not being proficient with starship weaponry is only -2 instead of the typical -4.

Piloting rolls still have a -4 penalty, however. Feats such as Rapid Shot and Far Shot may not beused to enhance starship combat.

Example: Chon Gui Muy has a base attack bonus of +8 and a Dexterity of 20, giving her another

+5 to ranged attacks for a total of +13. By dividing this in half, rounded down, you have anattack bonus of +6. Since Chon Gui Muy has Starship Operations: Starfighter, she does not take

the -2 penalty for using starfighter weapons. Additionally, since Chon Gui Muy has starship

Familiarity of +1, she gains an additional +1 to attack when behind the guns of a ship she is used


6/24

to using, for a total ranged attack modifier of +7. Were she to use the weaponry on a space

transport (which she is not proficient in and not used to using), her attack bonus would only be

+4 (+6 bonus, with a -2 for non-proficiency, equals +4 total bonus).

Range Modifiers:

All starship attacks must factor in the range to the target when making attacks.

Range Distance in Hexes Attack Modifier

Point-Blank 0-1 -0

Short 2-5 -2

Medium 6-10 -4

Long 11-20 -6

Point Blank Range:

At point-blank range capital ships may not bring more than one-quarter of their weapons to bareon a space transport, and not more than one-tenth of their weapons on a starfighter. Round down,

with a minimum of 1. Additionally, at these ranges, capital ships suffer an additional penalty on

their attacks based on their size:

SizePenalty to

Point-Blank Attacks

Large -2

Huge -4

Gargantuan -8

Colossal -16

Point-Defense Systems:To defend against point-blank range attacks, capital ships mount point-defense systems. When

active, all ships (friend or foe) within point-blank range takes damage from a barrage of blaster

batteries. They may take evasive maneuvers to reduce the damage, but may not ignore itcompletely.

The DC to reduce the damage from a point-defense system is the same as the DC for a character

to take vitality damage instead of wound damage from a starship weapon (see below). If

successful, reduce the damage by half, rounded down.

Weapon Batteries:

Capital ships and space transports may be place their weapons in weapon batteries. This gives

the weapon a +4 bonus to attack, and adds an extra die to the damage for every 5 points by whichthe attack roll exceeds the target's defense. Multiply the emplacement point requirement and

credit cost by 5 for the weapon battery.


7/24

Fire-Linked Weapons:

Starfighters and space transports may link groups of identical weapons, setting them to fire at the

same time at a single target. This allows them to either deal increased damage or have a betterchance to hit (attacker's choice). Fire-linked weapons are added in doubles (2, 4, 8, etc). Batteries

may not be fire-linked, but missile systems can.

Fire-Control:

Computer systems can enhance a gunner's ability to hit targets greatly. This increased accuracycomes at a cost of additional control systems, making the weapon more expensive and take upmore space. Fire-control systems are applied to individual weapons, modifying each accordingly.

Missile Weapons:Missiles are somewhat unique in the way they work in starship combat. First, to accurately fire amissile outside of point-blank range requires the gunner to take a full-round action (missiles may

be fired as a standard attack at point-blank range only). If the attack roll is successful, missiles

home in on their target, closing the distance until a collision occurs. The time it takes a missile to

hit its target depends on what range it was launched at. Missiles hit their target at the end of theround in which they have 0 rounds left until they strike.

Distance When Launched Number of Hexes Rounds to Strike

Point-Blank 0-1 0

Short 2-5 0

Medium 6-10 1

Long 11-20 2


8/24

Unlike standard attacks, there is a chance to avoid missile strikes. Targets of successful missile

attacks may choose to either take evasive maneuvers to avoid the missile, or attempt to shoot it

down. The DCs for either action depend on the type of missile fired and the number of roundsuntil it strikes. Shooting down a missile is usually easiest when it has 0 rounds left until it strikes,

while dodging a missile is easiest when it still has 1 round left until it strikes. Missiles continue

to their target until they are either dodged, shot down, or impact with something.

Starship Damage

Pilot Vitality:

The pilot of a starship has a lot of control over its fate. Whenever a starship takes damage, a pilot

may reduce the damage dealt to the ship by taking 10 points of vitality damage. Only the pilot of

starfighter or space transport may spend their vitality in this way.

Battle Damage:When a ship has taken half its hull points in damage, it begins taking battle damage. Each time ittakes a hit, roll 1d20, add it to the damage dealt by the attack, and consult the table below,

applying the result to the ship. If a system doesn't exist or is already effected b battle damage,

use the next higher damage result. Attackers may opt for a lesser result on this tabel, if desired.Battle damage remains until it is repaired.

Larger ships are more resilient to battle damage. When a ship of huge, gargantuan, or colossalsize takes battle damage, instead of immediately applying the damage, instead record that the

system was hit. When a system has taken a number of hits (2 for huge, 3 for gargantual, or 4 forcolossal), then apply the result of the battle damage.

Called Shots:

Attackers may attempt to knock out a starship's systems instead of merely blasting it to pieces. Inthis case, the attacker takes a -4 penalty to their attack roll. If their attack is successful, they roll

battle damage on the battle damage table instead of dealing damage.

Repairing Damage:

Repairing hull damage takes one full hour to do. Divide the result of the repair check by 5

(rounded down) to determine how much damage is restored.

Shield damage automatically returns at the rate of 1 point per minute. A character may spend a

full round action to restore shield points to a starship, as listed below. Each additional roll madeto restore shields during a scene has a cumilative +5 penalty.

Ion Weapons:

Ion weapons function much as normal weapons, but do not deal hull damage. Instead, in anysituation where an ion weapon would deal hull damage, instead apply battle damage using the

standard rules for battle damage.


10/24

Tractor Beams:

Tractor beams are concentrated energy beams capable of moving objects at a distance. Catching

a target in a tractor beam requires an attack roll. If successful, the target is caught and may notmove. Make a "damage" roll for the tractor beam to determine how effectively its victim is

caught. This total is the DC for a Pilot check to resist its grasp (i.e. the beam's operator may not

move the ship). If the resist roll succeeds by 10 or more, the ship may escape the tractor beamcompletely. As an attack action, the tractor beam operator may move a captured target a numberof hexes equal to its "damage" roll divided by 5, rounded down.

Starship Maneuvers

Speed Categories:

A starship announces its speed at the start of a scene, and may change it at the start of theiraction, if desired. They may move up to a number of hexes equal to their speed (they may

effectively stand still, if desired). A ship's defense modifier increases as it travels faster, but italso becomes harder to control and harder for its occupants to shoot at targets.

Speed Category Max Movement (in hexes) Defense Modifier Attack/Piloting Modifier

Stationary 0 -4 +0

Docking 1 -2 +0

Cruising 2-4 +0 -1

Attack 5-8 +2 -2

Ramming 9+ +4 -4

Pursuit:One of the most dangerous positions a starship can be in is that of pursuit by another starship.

When pursuing a target, a starship moves in the exact smae manner as the ship it pursues. It may

ignore its target's speed modifiers to defense. The pursued ship may only attack the ship pursuing

it with rear and turrent mounted weaponry. If during its turn the pursued ship does not attempt toescape, the pursuing ship is allowed to make an additional attack with one of its weapons.

To pursue a ship, the pursuing ship must be capable of moving at equal or greater speeds.

Establishing pursuit requires an opposed Pilot roll, costing both pilots an attack action. If the

pursued pilot beats the Pilot roll of their attacker, they avoid pursuit. If they beat it by 10 or more

they may turn the tables and may pursue their would-be attacker instead.

Strafing Runs:

To avoid the main weapons of a capital ship, starfighers and space transports may make strafingruns. Doing so requires a Pilot roll with a DC of 17 against Colossal ships, DC 21 against

Gargantuan, DC 23 verses Huge, and DC 25 verses Large ships. If successful, the target ship

may not attack with any of its weapons except for point-defense systems. If the roll fails, thepilot must make a roll to avoid a collision.


11/24

Ramming and Collisions:

The damage from a starship collision is dependant on the size of the ship and the speed at which

it was moving. Use the smallest ship size and the fastest ship speed for determining collisiondamage. Ramming attempts require an opposed Pilot roll between the ramming pilot and the

defending pilot to be successful.

and radiation. In these cases, engine wash damage applies. The damage is based on the size of

the ship dealing the engine wash damage.

Starfighter Wing:Starfighters may travel in wing formation to increase their firepower at the cost of versitility.

When in a wing, use the worst characteristics of any ship in the wing, from attack and damagerolls to pilot checks, for determining the performance of the wing. When making attacks, each

additional ship in the wing increases the main ship's attack roll by +1, up to +4, and allows the

attack to function as a weapon battery, dealing additional damage with higher attack rolls. For

simplicity sake, treat all damage dealt to the wing as dealt to a single ship until it is destroyed.

Quick Turn, Tight Loops:These stunts were not well-thought out, and are no longer in the game.

Starships Against Characters:Occassionally characters will come in direct conflict with starships, often with deadly results.

Against starships, personal weapons have little effect, and against characters, starship weapons

can obliterate with a single hit.

Because of their size, characters receive a bonus to attack starships, and starships receive a

penalty to attack characters based on their size. This modifier applies directly to the ship's attacks

and defense. Double bonuses to starship defense based on its speed when going againstcharacters.

When a personal scale weapon deals damage to a starship, divide the damage dealt by 10,rounded down, and apply the result. This may result in no damage at all to a starship. When

Weapon Formulas:Starship weapons can be created using a few simple formulas. The first step is to determine the

class of the weapon, which determines all of the base characteristics of the weapon. From there

the weapon's characteristics may be increased or decreased, altering the weapon's cost andemplacement cost. The worst possible weapon would have 1d4 damage with point-blank range,and the best possible weapon would have 5d12 damage with long range.

Placing Weapon Systems:

You may not mount a weapon outside of your class. Medium-size and greater ships cannot have

more than half of their weapon emplacement points (and hence their weapon systems) in the

same firing arc, with turreted weapons counting as their own arc.

A launcher may only have one type of missile loaded in it at a time.

Additional Systems List:There are several other systems which a starship may have. They are summarized below.

Communications:

Cost: varies, Requirements: negligible

Effect: Allows the ship to communicate with others.

Effect: +2/+4 bonus to sensor rolls

Enhanced Nav Computer:

Cost: 5000/10000, Requirements: negligibleEffect: +2/+4 bonus to astrogate rolls

Armor Plates:Cost: 10/20/30 Construction Points

Effect: Gain a permanent DR of 2/4/6 at the cost of a -4/-6/-8 penalty on Pilot checks.

Maneuvering Systems:

Cost: +5 Construction Points

Effect: Adds an equipment bonus to pilot checks, from +1 to +3. Doesn't stack with ion engine orother equipment bonuses. Gargantuan and larger ships may not have a +3 system, and Colossal

ships may not have anything beyond a +1 system. The cost is 5 for starfighters and transports,

but for capital ships the construction point cost is multiplied by an amount equal to the ship's size

modifier.

Personal Scale Weapon:Cost: As weapon, Requirements: 1 emplacement point

Effect: The ship has a personal scale weapon for use against targets within range (treat as if fired

from a medium-size individual). This weapon is completely ineffective in starship combat.

Backup Shield Generators:

Cost: see table, Requirements: see tableEffect: Double shield point regeneration

Gravity Well Projector:

Cost: 50000, Requirements: 100 emplacement points

Effect: Interfers with hyperspace travel for 5 minutes once activated. Takes 1 minute to activate.Has a range of point-blank, with each additional projector increasing the range by one category.

Stygium Crystal Cloak:Cost: 150,000,000, Requirements: 1 metric ton

Effect: Renders the ship undetectable both visually and to sensors. Completely undetectable by

any means when stationary, not communicating, and not attacking. Can be detected at shortrange if it moves or communicates, but with a +10 to the DC. Location is given away if it

attacks. Attacks against it have a 50% chance of missing, and the attacker must guess at its

location.

Hibridum Cloaking Device:

Cost: 250,000, Requirements: 250 metric tons

Effect: As Stygium Crystal Cloak, except that when active the ship cannot make scans.

Sensor Masks:

Cost: see table, Requirements: see tableEffect: Increases the DC to detect a ship using scanners

Converting Old Starships:Converting a starship to this system is fairly simple. First, divide its shield and hull points by 5,keeping in mind any applicable maximums (see construction tables above). Divide any fire-

control modifiers by 2. Treat its weapon systems as dealing damage as listed above. Finally,

subtract 5 points from its defense, and ignore any damage reduction it may have.
