Test Drive the SS4 Sensor Rules

[Supplement Four]

If anyone would like to test drive the sensor rules I just completed, I'll present you with a situation. You make the choices. I'll roll the dice and tell you the results.

This will be a quickie thing, accomplished in a couple of posts--just to see how the system works.

Anyone interested in giving them a spin?

Sure, I'm game. May I suggest a possible scenario? A Gazelle-Class Close Escort (TL-14, specs per Traders & Gunboats) precipitates out of jump and the astrogator wants to run a cursory scan of the local system. Ship's computer is running Navigation program (per LBB2) and the astrogator has Navigation-4 skill.

Excellent. Play testing always points out rough edges. And, I've been considering adding a "Sensor Phase" to the Book 2 combat instead of using sensors in the Movement Phase. I don't want to handicap a vessel with it's programs because the Navigation program is needed for using the ship's sensors.

Time is expensive for me today. I let things slide working on the sensor rules all weekend.

I'll try to get the short test scenario started tonight, but I may not be able to get to it.

I'll post soon.
