@Sirus

Are you going to want to do anything with the Governor too?

[Caellath]

I was reading SoI's treasure generator again and I'd forgotten one of the archeotech bonuses can be a problem rather than a boon in case of lighter critical hits. Getting unpowered is a worse than getting depressurized or (in some cases) catching on fire, but it can also be worse than being damaged or unpowered by a critical depending on whether you can use Emergency Repairs to get it back online sooner, like you can with hit components.

This Component is shielded by a vast and powerful field that crackles to life whenever it would be damaged. Unfortunately, this field draws a great deal of power away from the Component itself. Whenever this Component would suffer the effects of a Critical Hit, it ignores those effects, but becomes unpowered or otherwise non-functional for 1d5 Strategic Rounds as the field overdraws the energy that it normally uses (or the Power that it generates).

[Caellath]

PS: Does anyone have a preference for the Ark Royal's color scheme? I was thinking about going similar to the Battlefleet Calixis since they're supposed to have been part of it, but maybe a lighter gray and a splash of blue and white to mix with the crimson prow (to be a reference to GB's flag, what with the name's origin).

The question is because I might or might not have found an artist I've commissioned to draw the ship.

[Sirus]

It might have been part of Battlefleet Calixis once, but I imagine that it received at least a partial paint job after retiring partly out of Rogue Trader sensibilities and partly so it isn't visibly part of the Battlefleet anymore. Imagine the damage a Chaos Warlord could inflict if they managed to sneak a carrier within easy striking range of an Imperial fleet!

Your idea sounds pretty good. I just haven't really put a lot of thought into what colors the ship might be painted in.

[Caellath]

To be fair, in RT comms contact is established even before visual contact is made.

And it could have been from another Battlefleet, now that I think about it. At least the prow's gold trim and torpedo ports should probably be kept as sign of the Ark's previous military service.

Edit: then again there seems to be slight confusion about whether the color of the trim for Battlefleet Calixis is silver or gold.

[Caellath]

Stirk, I forgot to ask but do the instructions given to us allow for the excuse of mining or should we just go for the half-truth of an archeological dig?

And now we're having trouble with payment, but I hope that doesn't kill the commission. _{I do have a second artist available though.}

Instructions assume a more or less straight dig into an underground cavern. Mining excuse would seem plausible, but tell him whatever you want. I'd personally go with "I just really like digging holes man. Its my thing." You won't need to excavate the entire area, just a big enough hole to get a guy down there.

[Caellath]

We do have like, one cat and one cat-fanatic. Maybe swapping Kedia's cat ears for dog ears will switch her gears.

Sidequest Gene Trader

Reward: High-Quality "Cybernetic" upgrade to one individual or animal. Rarity ceiling based off of how quest was completed.

[Caellath]

Since crew is tied to SP, we can count them as starship components with Near Unique (Crack) or Unique (Veteran) following BFK guidelines for components rather than troops. This could be used to either represent upgraded equipment and training or crew depending on context.

Does the discount in Naval installations apply? Using those numbers, a Light⁽⁺⁰⁾, Modern^(-10), Infantry⁽⁺⁰⁾, Elite^(-30), Army^{(Vast, -30)} is the same rarity as Veteran crew.

Sure. Of course if you arn't at a Naval Installation it'll be different :V

@Sirus Do you want a Spy mission? Kinda seems like you're falling behind in screen time when you're with the RT.

[Caellath]

I guess the question is very likely academical since it'll be hard to find Navy installations in this situation, and even if we do then when it comes to acquisitions at -50 or -70 a whole-ass voidship will be favored if any's available.

Also IronyOwl wants to know if the Genetor is single.

She is. She's secretly wanted to find a partner to undergo the Rite of Duplessence with but has yet to find the right person.

...At least he didn't ask about the gun hand guy.

[Lenglon]

well I see the dice are behaving as usual.

Sure, I wouldn't mind trying something a bit more active. I'm just really busy with work and school prep, and since Caellath's been handling the talky bits pretty solidly on his own there isn't much for Symonne to add.

I was trying to think of a way to get that gene sample last night, but fell asleep before that happened.
