Wanted: Ship To Plunder

I think it is fancy suit girl's move next.

So it’s my post now right?

Working on a post tomorrow, sorry about the delay.

Ok, from the inside out.

There are (at the moment, as I haven't posted IC yet today, so that might change), 23 of the little drones running around. They are underarmed & fragile, but they have numbers, free range of the ship, fair cover, & ambush tactics installed. You can (if you figure out a way) remove the cover & free range bonuses, making them much less of a threat. The numbers will continue to go down as the fight progresses, it is a hopeless fight for them, but they don't think so they don't care (hurrah swarms!).

The cargo pod itself is mostly still pressurized. Only the central access areas have vented. Think of it as a loading dock & the cargo bay. The dock might be open to space, but the cargo bays still have their own doors keeping everything normal. The icy haze is mostly from the cargo pod's backup life support unit as it tries in vain to pressurize the blow open section. Once it is empty, the rest of the haze will either freeze onto surfaces or finish venting, leaving it clear again. Until then, think of the inside as the foggy film around Han's feet when he was inside the space worm, but hip/chest high & flowing out slowly into space. A suit would be nice, but a person could probably survive a few minutes in there without one. You would be hurting pretty bad the entire while, but it could be done.

The hull itself is still intact. You could (fairly easily) grapple onto it. But it would take a while to cut through it (probably days with ship board equipment). Or you could either swing around to the nose (which doesn't have a hull cover if you will notice in the picture, just the front of the cargo pod), & either float there as stuff it pushed out of the cargo pod, or hook onto the cargo pod itself (if y'all can eject it completely). As for the transmitting, it wouldn't get through the hull (except maybe some choppy static that shows someone is trying to communicate anyway), but if you where out front you could still pick it up (re: no hull on the nose).

So... the GR-75 just just a 90 degree turn forward?

That’s ok, this is why this thread exists. To gain clarification. And the hallway Emma was in, that was part of the main ship right?

Ok, so I’m currently spinning relatively safely through space in the cargo pod away from the approaching warships. So Luxeria needs to edit her post then.

Yup, perfectly fine for Lux to go casing after the empty hull. Especially as Emma is likely going to be too distracted by the sudden acrobatics around her to send a message. & yes, now that the pod is out in the open, there isn't a barrier to communications.

As for Jack, If his ship is needed, my suggestion would be to NPC it. As remotely as possible of course. Keep it to narration from the point of view of Lux's ship. The pod is big enough you might need two ships to get it, but it could be done with one. As the group is a good way from anywhere they can jump to hyperspace, y'all might need a distraction ship in order to buy enough time for the other one to escape with the pod. As for Lux herself, she could always jump in a spacesuit to go help Emma (I can always bump up the difficulty of the drones). That would free up the ship to get fried in order for the rest to escape.

Also, this might be helpful (though a little late, the thread is very much a work in progress as I try to collect all the random info in my head): boards.jedivsith.com/post/115606 Specifically the General Cargo Pod.

Best bet would be have it coming in from the other side, as there isn't anywhere in the near region to jump to or from hyperspace (re: opening posts).
