Sensor Spoofing / Decoy Projection

Sensor Spoofing / Decoy Projection is an Advanced Function for Communications and Sensor Officers. To learn about other functions go the Space Ship Functions section of the Space Ships page.

Description

The Communications and Sensor Officer uses the ship's sensor and transmission arrays to project false signatures or deploy physical chaff decoys, making the ship harder to track and target. They can benefit from both the Ship's Sensors and the Ship's Electronics. They can also choose to benefit from either their Intelligence or Charisma Modifier.

The Officer makes a Sensors/Electronics check, rolling (2d10 + Sensors Mod + Electronics Mod + Misc Mod + Officer's choice of either Intelligence or Charisma) against a DC equal to 10 + Target Sensors Mod. On a success, the ship projects phantom signatures or deploys decoys. This forces all scanning and targeting checks against your ship to take a disadvantage for 1 round. Alternatively, if targeted by guided missiles, the decoys can be active, providing a 50% chance (a 1-5 on a d10) that any incoming guided missile attacks are drawn away and miss the hull entirely.
