    Just take your captain and play him as a librarian--give him a sword bit and a pistol bit and the cloak bit and some cool looking accessories, and who's to say he's not a librarian? If captains get...

    I really like that the game now allows premeasuring--rules against premeasuring are dumb in pretty much every way.

    "People are influenced by hormones" is news? People are basically elaborate hormone-expression systems--I thought we'd known this for a while?

    Sort of. Visibility being "down to the mkI eyeball" would leave a ship in a nebula almost entirely dysfunctional, and the odds of two ships running into each other in one would be (literally)...

    Lol. Not a fan of Babylon five? It has tons of problems, but if you can find a better example of space combat in film, I'd love to hear it (no, seriously--I would.)

    The prequels definitely had their moments--and a far better overarching plot than the originals (which didn't, really, have much of an overarching plot at all).

    Does it actually say in the rules anywhere that damage to a vehicle is like taking a wound?

    Are there any vehicles with Eternal Warrior?

    What does having a cover save or invulnerable save actually do for a vehicle?
