Info

Then she records the number of decoys the Dolphin has (1), plus the success spread of its damage control system (1–6) and point defenses (1–4), as well as the number of point defense attacks the Dolphin can make (2). And although it’s not shown on the display on the next page, she removes the pilot killed result on the ship’s critical hit table. The Damage Track Now all Ann has to do is fill in the Dolphin’s damage track. First, she marks off all but the ship’s 30 hit boxes on the damage track. The Dolphin has a Drive of 16, so Ann needs to try to put (16 ÷ 2 =) 8 Drive boxes on its damage track. She adds 1 to that number and divides the number of boxes on her damage track by it to get (30 ÷ [8 + 1] =) 3.3, which rounds up to 4. She puts a Drive box in the fourth box on her track and then puts in another box every four boxes. Using this spacing, the eighth box won’t fit on the track. Ann realizes that’s okay and just leaves it off. After that, she fills in the boxes. She writes 16 in the first Drive box, 14 in the second, and so on, until she gets to the end and writes 4 in the last box. The Dolphin has a Damage Reduction of 2. Ann adds one to that number and divides the number of boxes on her damage track by it to get (30 ÷ [2 + 1] =) 10. She puts a diamond in the tenth box on her track. The other diamond should be in the twentieth box, but that’s box already has a Drive symbol in it, so she puts it in the twenty-first box. Then she fills in the diamonds with the values 2 and 1. The Dolphin has a quad Splattergun mount and a missile launcher, giving it two weapon mounts. Ann adds 1 to that number and divides the number of boxes on her damage track by it to get (30 ÷ [2 + 1] =) 10. She goes to put a w in the damage track’s tenth box, but it’s got a Damage Reduction symbol in it, so the w goes in the eleventh box. She tries to put the other w in the damage track’s twentieth box , but it has a Drive symbol in it. The twenty-first box has a Damage Reduction symbol in it, so the w goes into the twenty-second box. Ann then changes the second w to a W. BPV: I.D. The Dolphin masses 300 tons, giving it 2 crits. Ann adds 1 to that number and divides the number of boxes on her damage track by it to get (30 ÷ [2 + 1] =) 10. She goes to place an asterisk in the tenth box, but it’s filled, as are the eleventh and twelfth, so it goes in the thirteenth. She moves to place the next symbol in the twentieth box, but it’s occupied, as are the next two, so the symbol goes into the twentythird box. Her damage track is complete.

Mei looked up at Lao quizzically. Lao threw up his hands. “I have no idea what he means,” he said. “Crier’s been referring to this imminent danger all night. He claims that it’s the reason the moldates have been doing their best to help break down the communication barriers between our species.” Mei turned back to the station. “Who are these people, Crier? Who is it that’s coming?” “Not…Terrans,” came the reply. “Much different. We call them the Hive. We are minds that think as many. They are many minds thinking as one.” Oh no! thought Mei. Her voice shaking, she asked, “What do they look like? Can you describe them?” She had done a short xenological tour of the Tau Albriton center a few years back on the Emperor’s behalf. There she had seen things that had struck a new kind of fear in her heart. These were things she had hoped she would never be so unfortunate as to see 96 Light Single-Person Fighter Template Drive Tons 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 50 x x x x x 1–0 1–1 1–1 1–1 2–1 2–1 2–1 2–1 2–1 3–3 100 x x x x x 2–0 2–1 3–1 3–2 3–2 3–2 3–2 4–3 6–5 6–6 Defensive Value Tons 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 50 x x x x x x 0–0 1–0 1–1 1–1 2–1 2–1 3–3 100 x x x x x 0–0 2–0 2–1 3–1 3–2 3–2 5–5 6–5 Damage Reduction Slots Per Ship Tons 0 1 2 3 4 5 Tons Crew Slots Hit Boxes 50 0 0–1 1–1 1–2 1–3 2–3 50 1 4 5 100 0 1–1 1–2 2–3 2–4 3–5 100 1 9 10 Medium Single-Person Fighter Template Drive Tons 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 200 x x x x 4–2 4–2 5–2 5–3 6–3 6–4 6–4 7–5 11–8 12–9 12–10 300 x x x x 6–2 7–3 7–3 8–4 8–5 9–5 10–6 15–11 17–12 17–14 18–15 Defensive Value Tons 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 200 x 2–1 3–1 3–1 4–1 4–2 4–2 5–2 5–3 6–3 9–6 10–7 11–8 300 x 4–1 4–1 5–2 5–2 6–2 7–3 7–3 8–4 12–8 14–8 15–9 15–11 Damage Reduction Slots Per Ship Tons 0 1 2 3 4 5 Tons Crew Slots Hit Boxes 200 0 1–2 2–4 3–6 4–8 5–10 200 1 18 20 300 0 2–3 3–6 5–9 6–12 8–15 300 1 28 30
