If you want your ship to turn or accelerate, you have to go to the helm, spend helm power and attempt a piloting check based on the size and speed of your ship. If you don’t have power, you have to get to an engine and make an engineering check to pump for more power. When you fire the ship’s cannons at a target the difficulty is determined by the distance to the target in hexes and their speed. If you hit, you randomly determine where the shot falls. Ship’s shields mitigate the damage but those in the line of fire suffer damage. Strong enough hits will break modules. It feels like you are on a starship. Every action you take has consequences. Do you teleport to the enemy ship or blast them from a distance? What if there is no enemy ship? Perhaps there is a space monster or diabolical trap to extricate yourself from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCreate and rank up a unique character\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYou don’t just quit after one mission.
