StarSector Challange Idea!
« on: September 08, 2015, 02:22:42 AM »

This is somewhat inspired by the Pirate King Challange. but is me trying to be somewhat... more active you could say.

Regardless, here it is!

and this is very loose, it's an idea that's all.

THE CONDEMNED GRUNT CHALLANGE!
============================

In this challange you are a grunt in someone ELSE'S fleet. You have to pilot a weak ship and let someone ELSE, fly the flag ship.
However to keep the order system alive, you can also pilot larger ships and issue commands! :D ... if you level up from a grunt of course.
The goal of this challange is to become the fleet leader. You start as a grunt and climb your way up.

The ranks are as follows.
----------------
Spoiler
Grunt- A worthless meat-body in a meger ship... They generally start in a hound at best, at worst, a shuttle and can't issue orders, but can run-away themselves. They can not issue any points into skills related to such items, but can fully add to combat, and minor technology trees.

Major Grunt (lvl 5 Req. and 2 successful die rolls at or above 10) -
A grunt that has shown a worthless pile of meat can be made into a decent pile of food with the right heat.
can apply one point to a leadership skill. Can transfer to a better ship of the same teir/type if they choose to.

SUPER grunt (lvl 10 Req and 3 Successful die rolls of 10 or above)-
The meal has proven to be good! and can now issue ONE order to ONE ship that is LOWER teir than itself. ( a hound can order a Hermes to run away a lasher can order a hound, a tempest can order the wolf) and can transfer to a better ship if they choose to. (MUST NOT BE A DESTORYER OR MORE THAN 1 TEIR HIGHER THAN CURRENT SHIP)

Private Major (lvl 15 and 3 successful die rolls of 10 or above)-


Sargent Minor


Sargent Major-


Minor Petty Officer-


Petty Officer-


Master Petty Officer-


Officer-


Leadership Canidate-


Leader- All skills avaible, normal play attainted save for changlle rules still in effect.

Da' Rules?
======================
Spoiler

Simple.

1. You will do as you are ordered, the orders you are given REGARDLESS OF RANK UP TILL CAPTIAN are:
   
  • Defend- This is an order to defend a ship of your choosing and ONLY that ship. The Fleet leader will get ONE of the best ships following him at least at all times.
  • Capture/Defend- you are tasked with capturing a random point on the map. if there is only one, cap and defend!
  • Attack- you will attack a designated ship as best you can and stay alive. This is a chance of any ship of your size or smaller. so frigates will attack frigates or Fighters, Destoryers will attack frigates and below. etc etc. Retreat when you are near death or likely going to die!
  • free-will - You are given no orders, PANIC! :D YAY! :3


2. If the grunt loses his ship, he has the potential to die IF:
He can not get to a life-pod in time. (1 dice roll of 10 or higher)
He is caught in the ship's explosion and the pod fails (1 dice role 5 or higher)
He get's into a bad pod an simply dies (req. Crap teired/D or "old" ships 1 die roll 7 or higher)
         
3. if the fleet starts to lose ships IN COMBAT orders may change based on dice roll once again but you CAN NOT do the same role.
The FL can also issue the FULL RETREAT order IF a major ship is lost- a carrier or Key destroyer -with a dice-roll of YOUR ship being told to keep the enemy at bay, defend a running ship, or simply book it!
all dice roles for retreat are as follows:
  • Defend- Much the same as the inital role assigned to you. Defend the parent ship till it is dead and ONLY that ship.
    1 die roll of 16-20 or above
  • Keep away- Similar to Attack, the goal for you is to simply keep the enemy distracted as best you can- if your fleet gets away you get a new ship with stnadard load out of the same teir or type depending on rank.
    1 die of 1 - 9
  • GET. THE +^@& OUT! you heard him, GIT! 1 die roll of 10-15
