Welcome to Gaia! ::

A T-65XJ X-Wing fighter dropped out of hyperspace and began a headlong attack run against a pair of TIE Hunters. At Long range, the X-Wing launched a single Proton Torpedo at the TIE on his right (we'll call this one Alpha) and then banked right, skating into Medium range briefly before flying straight away from the two TIE's in their Port firing arc.

Analysis:
Normally, we won't need this, but I'm going to explain what's going on because you are all learning the system and I'm having to trace it all out to make sure it works the way I want. But not right now because I'm tired and want to sleep. Be aware, though, that this will be my first time running actually numbers so it is likely that there will be some changes to the combat system. I will however, point out all of those changes and explain my reasons for making them in a separate post.

An attack has been made. The X-Wing fired a Proton Torpedo at Long range, targeting Alpha. So first we need to calculate the &#xHi;t of the torpedo. When it was launched, the two fighters were at Long range and the torpedo's effective range is Medium so:

&#xHi;t = Speed/Range = 1/2 = 50%

Speed is 1 because there is no difference in scale. Range is 2 because there is a difference between the effective range of the weapon used and the effective range of the X-Wing to its target. So now we have the minimum number needed to score a hit, 50. If the average of the first die rolled by each combatant is less than 50, the attack hit. In this case, the average is 51.5, so the attack did not hit.

Now Alpha may attack as he has the X-Wing in his Fore firing arc. However, Beta can't attack because he has Alpha in his firing arc, blocking his shot at the X-Wing.

I will take over for the ties, since it seems to be the x-wings turn.

I am sorry, but this confuses me too much. I have no idea what is going on.

The X-Wing's maneuver brought it behind the two TIE's and allowed it to prevent the TIE's from attacking again. The X-Wing also fired two proton torpedoes at the trailing TIE, Beta. Thus, the &#xHi;t for the X-Wing's attack is:

&#xHi;t = ((2 ^ 0) / 2 ^ (-1)) / 2 = (1 / (1/2)) / 2 = 2 / 2 = 100%

Each missile has a &#xHi;t of 100 and can deal damage of 39.

Next, we apply the damage value 39 to each of the three damage fields for the Proton Torpedo. This gives us (78:39:117) because we multiply the damage dealt by the factor in each field. Then we find the damage absorbed by taking the average third dice value, 58.5, and multiplying that by each of the armor factors to get (117:117:117). While this absorption is enough to prevent damage from a single torpedo, two were fired. Since the missiles were identical, we can simply double the damage dealt to get (156:78:234). Then we find out how much damage was received by subtracting the appropriate absorption from the matching damage factor. This gives us (39:0:117), which we total to get 156 damage points dealt to HP.

That means we need to subtract 156 HP from the total HP for Beta; however, since no specific Region was targeted, this gets evenly distributed over all the TIE's regions. It has three regions so each region receives 52 points of damage.

Beta's stats become:

Beta 144 hp

Regions:
Fuselage 48 hp, Titanium Hull Plating (2:2:2) - Fore 2x Proton Torpedo Launcher (2:1:3) [Medium, Long] - 6x Torpedoes per Launcher;

Port S-Foils 48 hp, Titanium Hull Plating (2:2:2) - Fore Laser Cannon (4:2:0) [Medium, Medium], Ion Cannon (1:1:4) [Medium, Medium];

Critical Locations:
Cockpit Ball [Fuselage] 100 hp, Titanium Hull Plating (2:2:2) - 1x Pilot

Hyperdrive and NavCom [Fuselage] 100 hp, Titanium Hull Plating (2:2:2) - Necessary for Hyperspace Jump

Stabilizers [Fuselage] 100 hp, Titanium Hull Plating (2:2:2)

Maybe you could make special skills completely seperate actions, roll to see if they activate, and if they don't default to the normal action.

Are there a set of Base stats to draw upon?

Eh... There's really nothing for the character's own speed, just the weapons, nevermind physical strength.

Also, a sort of "luck" system should be built in, where the more luck you have, the better chance you have at hitting, dodging, striking critical points, et cetera.
