The thing is, I made this plan, counting on my superior skill and maneuverability.  He was 8 back and moving 8 faster than me.  To be behind me, he would have to slow down faster... and I rolled 7 successes.<br/><br/>So either his ship and his skill are better than mine, or I don't understand how something works.<br/><br/>... Damn it!<br/><br/>Without proper information I can't make a plan, and a plan based off incomplete or misleading information is doomed to failure!<br/><br/>I'm very frustrated right now.<br/><br/><br/>This situation is now impossible to resolve like I planned.  With better rolls and a faster ship, I manage to place him in a perfect situation to kill me... all because the rules don't work logically.<br/><br/>Dang it all to heck!
