Emergency Evasive Thrusters

Emergency Evasive Thrusters is an Advanced Function for Helm Officers. To learn about other functions, go to the Space Ship Functions section of the Space Ships page.

Description

The Helm Officer executes a sudden maneuver using emergency auxiliary thrusters to evade an immediate threat.

Opposing Pilot check, but to succeed, the Pilot must beat the Opposing check by more than 4. Success forces the next enemy attack to require 3 additional success dice to deal Battle Damage, and a Tracking DC of 1 +1 for every point beaten. A normal success just treats this like a Pilot Defensively Function. For that round, the Weapon's Officer must cancel 1 successful d10 from the Battle Pool before re-rolling. Afterward, the Engines must cool down, and this cannot be attempted again for at least 3 turns.
