Medium Combat Update

I've taken a few opening moves, placing the ships and getting them moving. They closed to range on an initial roll of 3 and 5. Then, at a range of two, they each rolled a 5. Shields went down quickly (5 roll points times the magnifier for range 2, which is 4=20 points for shields). Another solid roll did 10 points damage to "Y"'s impulse drive while "X"'s (USS Exeter, commanded by Captain Reggie Farrell) transporter took 4 points damage. It could stll be anyone's game, but the AI ship needs to move and protect that downed shield facing or it'll be in big trouble..... here is the dazzling format drunk screenie

Capt Farrell: 7
Science Cmdr Wells: 3
Engineer Cmdr Radou: 5
