So the object lesson is if we try to bring back as much loot as possible .. to spread out among our friends ... you are going to hammer us down with random events ...  ;D

LOL

The object lesson was being greedy doesn't get you ahead.

There was a partially loaded truck waiting and ready to go. But you guys decided to take everything, including the plumbing, pillows and bed sheets. :)

See how protective of our gear you've made us :P

And yeah, the truck from the pirate base got all blowed up.  Trax shed a few tears for that after blasting the hell out of the pirates.

You can't blame us for trying to take the plumbing, pillows and sheets, it would have bought us some major points with all the women on the base :)

Well, we were stripping the base bare so we could take everything and donate it to the needy Kothe and KDF!  Hah!

. . . And Niil doesn't remember being blown up.  Everything about four days before and after that supposed event is sort of a gray haze . . . *TWITCH, TWITCH*

Niil blinks, looks around and says in a confused tone, "Where's Padme?"

Why?  It doesn't remember so I think that means it's working just fine :)

so Craig,
That whole jamming thing they were talking about......
how long would it take Mariah to make something like that happen? Could she do it on the trip to their destination?

And anything to take care of targetting computers on those guns?

They were talking about the fire control computer on the weapon emplacement itself. It basically works the same way as a starship gunnery computer, or a scope on a rifle: it gives the operator a bonus on their attack rolls. Without knowing exactly what type of targeting system is in use, Mariah can't really do much from here.

If it is typical Imperial kit, it will have a visual processor combined with an or Laser rangefinder. To disrupt that, you'd been some sort of chaff cloud or smoke screen to break line of sight and disrupt the EM pulses. That's a tall order.

Your best bet at this point is to hope Trax takes out the uplink and gun quickly. And, since he's going to be firing an E-Web at them, it's likely they'll be distracted and may not notice the shuttle approaching until it is too late.

Ok. What about jamming for any tracking device this guy has on him?

Craig, if you're hand waiving securing the industrial complex I'd like everyone to keep a close eye out for sensors/scanners.  Just because it's out of most weapons ranges doesn't mean it wouldn't make for an ideal location to launch an attack from so I'm thinking the area could be monitored.

No hand waving planned, but if rolls go well, it may be straight forward.

The plan is to treat is as a hostile insertion, with you guys sweeping the facility before setting up the E-web. You'll have about an hour to secure the facility before optimal patrol timings on the outpost.
