Objections to the time skip?  Nope.<br/><br/>Things to do first?  Sure... I want to make some acquisitions for Jason, (including buying food for Ares), and work with Sarah and Thraxius to speed up the Everest refit.  (even if it doesn't matter in game, getting that done quicker is a character thing to do, as Captain Harlock is worried that the pirates will attack before they're ready...)<br/><br/>So... I'm afraid I do need to make some rolls... I'll try and make them efficiently.<br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Couldn't it have possibly been a little more efficient to just combine acquisitions somehow?</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>If I knew a way to cut all the stuff dealing with acquisitions down to a single roll, I'd do that.  Have a suggestion?  I'll try and roll things together as much as possible though.<br/><br/>OK, Jason wants to get some personal arms and armor... so we'll roll all that into one test.  Let's see... An Inferno Pistol is very rare (-20), so is light power armor (for Sarah), so I'll just get one of each (+30), combine them for a -5 on the test...  and to save dice rolls, ignore all the extra rolls but the actual acquisition test itself.  Add +5 to the group's profit factor of +40 gives a chance of 45/100.<br/><br/>Arms and armor 99/45 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=27836)  Failed<br/>Arms and Armor 72/45 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=27837) Fate point reroll, also failed.<br/><br/>Jason has a better chance on getting a personal vehicle (thanks to his Voidwalker ability) so he'll go for a Best Quality Autocannon Sentinel for his second acquisition.  (totals to a -10... or a 30 with profit factor not much chance, but what the heck)<br/><br/>Sentinel 26/30 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=27838) Success!  Good for me!  He'll store it on board his Aquila Lander... leaving room for 6 people plus pilot (him) and copilot (another bridge crew) to escape the bridge if needed.  Plenty.<br/><br/>Jason will use his third acquisition to get some food... (did he need a roll?) cross his fingers that the Kobras Aquairre will make the trip to get it without trouble, take the 75 achievement points for feeding hungry people, and quit while he's ahead.  (sorry Sarah, no armor for you today!  I even used a fate point!)
