MISSION COMPLETE!

Fate Points have been reset to full.
You will have one new Acquisition to spend for the next mission.

Marco Cordello Machado e Guerra da Rosa Bourbon I has gained the "Mind Swap" ability. He may attempt to leave his body and take over the mind of another. Strong will will prevent him from taking the target over, and there is a chance that something will take over his body while he's gone.

You have gained 3 Profit Factor! Your Profit factor is now 32.

Everyone gains...lets say 250 EXP. Unless I said something about how much EXP you're going to gain earlier in which case it is that.

Lol, sorry, I was going to write that up as a post but got busy and you ended up beating me to it.

Lenglon the player is the most interested in heading to Meleria. It has strong possibilities of eldar ship upgrades, like the Plotter I think we want that would enable the Ark Royal to enter webways, and I think the hostile environment would be fun. There's chances for diplomatic encounters due to the extremely unstable state of planetary leadership, there's chances for combat encounters for obvious reasons, there's a ton of chances for psy-based encounters because the whole place is warp-tainted and psy-sense is important to stuff, there's chances for eldar-based encounters because eldar ship, chances for chaos-based encounters because of the chaos cults, like, the whole place is a giant mess with massive variety available for all kinds of things. our characters might want to avoid it, but as a player I think it would be great. Ship-based encounters too since the nearby space has been an active conflict zone for a while now and something shot the eldar down. inquisition-based encounters too since they were a major player in retaking the planet and might still be actively there managing the reconstruction (or might be in the process of being ousted). giant melding pot of conflict and opportunity. would be great fun though hazardous.

I somehow missed the big fat update post so I was checking it now.

And I think Merilia does fit as a shorter adventure. I did wanna get secondary quests for extra exp like our adventurous weirdos but honestly we got so got tangled up we were better off jumping to the next one.

Generic reminder of our ship's specs:

Spoiler: Ark Royal (click to show/hide)

Dictator class cruiser - Ark Royal
speed 5
detection +23
armor 20
space 65
maneuverability +8
Hull integrity 70
turret rating 3
2 void shields
armament:
Sunsear Laser Battery (prow) (Strength 4, 1d10+2 damage, crit rating 4, range 9)
2x Jovian-pattern Landing Bay (1x port, 1x starboard) (Strength 2 each)
2x Lathe-pattern Landing Bay (1x port, 1x starboard) (Strength 2 each)
note: total landing bay strength is 8, permitting a maximum of 24 squadrons.

4 squadrons of Fury Interceptors (fighter craft) (CR+10, Speed 10VUs, Squadron Size 20) (Durable) (total +37 to Command+Craft tests)
4 squadrons of Starhawk Bombers (bomber craft) (CR+0, Speed 6VUs, Squadron Size 10) (Durable) (total +27 to Command+Craft tests)

special rules:
Durable attack craft: When checking for Squadron losses, a Fury or Starhawk squadron reduces its losses by one to a minimum of zero or gains a +5 bonus on the Upkeep Test

jovian pattern class 8.3 drive (Plasma Drive): Reliable Construction: If this Component becomes damaged, depressurized, or suffers a Critical Hit (including a 4 or 6 result on the chart), roll 1d10. On a 4 or higher, the effect is ignored.
Miloslav H-616.b (Warp Drive): Haste of the Damned: reduce the duration of all warp passages by half. However, roll on the Warp Travel Encounters table (page 186 of Rogue Trader) every three days rather than every five days.
Warpsbane Hull (Geller Field): Shield of Faith: Any Navigation Tests to pilot the ship through the warp gain a +10 bonus. When rolling on Table 7-4: Warp Travel Encounters (see page 186), the GM rolls twice and allows the Navigator to chose which result is applied.
Flight Command Bridge (Bridge): Flight Command: as long as the bridge remains undamaged, all Command Tests dealing with attack craft gain +5, and tests to ready new squadrons are automatically passed.
Flight Command Bridge (Bridge): Flight Control: All Trade objectives involving ground to orbit or small craft operations gain +25 Achievement Points
Clemency-pattern Life Sustainer (Life-Sustainer): Lifeline: Increase Morale permanently by +1. This starship reduces Crew Population and Morale losses due to Depressurization by 4, to a minimum of 0
Repulsor Shield Array (Shields): Charged particle repulsion effect: The ship does not suffer penalties to Maneuver Actions when travelling through nebulas, ice rings, plasma clouds, or other celestial phenomena consisting primarily of small particles.

Runecaster: Eye of the Warp: Navigators using this Component to pilot a ship through the empyrean gain a +20 bonus to all Navigation Tests. Additionally, any journeys made using this Component take half their normal time.
Runecaster: Fueled by Fate: This Component never becomes unpowered for any reason.
Pilot Chambers: Combat Ready: Pilot Chambers grant a +2 bonus to the Attack Craft Rating of all squadrons aboard a starship.
Small Craft Repair Dock: Spare Parts: After any starship combat in which fighters, assault boats, or bombers are lost, a character may immediately make a Difficult (-10) Tech Use Test. For every degree of success on the test, two of these craft are recovered.
Auto Temple: Tend the Flock: The constant support of the Temple's Priests increases Morale by 2.
Auto Temple: Convert the Heretic: When working towards a Creed objective, the players earn an additional 150 Achievement Points towards completeing that objective.
Melodium: Songs in the Void: Increase Morale permanently by +1 and gain +10 to all social Skill Tests.

Ship of the Fleet: Steadfast Ally: All crew-members gain Good Reputation (Imperial Navy)
Ship of the Fleet: His Word Obeyed: Any crew-member who makes Command Tests aboard this ship gains a +10 bonus
Ship of the Fleet: Duty Unto Death: When this ship is crippled, the ship's Captain may make a Challenging (+0) Command Test. If the Test is successful, the ship does not suffer the effects of being crippled during its subsequent turn.

Lathe-pattern Landing Bay: Energy Field: The security hatches on this bay must be open during the Strategic Turn when small craft are landing or taking off. If this component ever loses power when the hatches are open, this Component becomes Depressurized.

48 / 74 power used
59 / 65 space used

also Indaria has a briefing on Merilia available if desired.
also finding the ship's specs and re-reading them reminded me of why I like this ship design.

[Caellath]

Oh, are we waiting for me. I suppose we could try kidnapping Icewhite for the tech-priestess some other time, so let's get going. Should we drop off the statues with the Eldar before we head to our next destination though?

[Maximum Spin]

That seems like a good idea, yes.

[Lenglon]

I fully agree, we don't want to keep those onboard while heading to a warp-tainted area.

[Stirk]

I never updated Rouri's sheet since it is an excel file and that is a pain :V. He needs a ship role too, you can give him one in-character since he just showed up. He's actually a Void Master as far as mechanics go, not a Rogue Trader.

What do you think, Spin? Master Helmsman has a pretty nice bonus but seems it might be the most appropriate choice.

Also where's this mysterious Discord server? :p

I literally just DM him. I could've done it on the forum too, but we played a couple games together on Discord before so it seemed natural, I guess.

Master Helmsman seems like the logical pick and is what I figured you'd go with when I built the character. I never selected my Mastery option, either; I'll probably go for Small Craft since this is a carrier and it seems like it'll come up a lot, unless you'd rather focus on the main ship, which is also fine with me.

[Caellath]

I meant niche bonus, not nice bonus. Oh well. And it depends on whether you want to lead strike squads during combat actions. If you do, then small craft specialization is worth it because it's basically our way of causing damage, plus it means better piloting of personal shuttles. Otherwise, big ship spec.

How far away is the nearest Eldar post? It's probably worth it making it back to it to deliver the statues, since even if they're dormant I don't want to risk anything happening.
