played regular pick-up through to Easter and a few less regular since.

fixed up the Gozanti to a Civi transport, had to sell off most of the intact weaponry to get engine parts and properly patch the Hull, running only with Screens and no Shields, got two staterooms that are liveable. got it stashed at the farm and I've built a Barn over it as work goes on.

Most adventurers have bean parts scavenger hunts or Escort jobs for folks with Rebel ties, an other was delivering secret messages for Vader, yet an other was laying the ground walk for a Tie Courier ship. I also infiltrated a Imperial Fighter Training School to find out who was graduating sub-par pilots, ISB almost derailed the job when their screening found that I was not "Politically Reliable".

last session I was scouting Clone Wars battle fields for salvage to sell for cash to make expenses and buy parts and I have found something.... have to find a time to finish the adventure and find out what it is.

Found out the GM is formatting the game like a MMO and has kept the inventories of my "Starter House" that I kind of abandoned, I've got two other "Houses" the warehouse that I don't use unless I'm in that "Zone" and need a Fighter workshop, and the Farm that I've just bean using as a large items stash since I am having trouble building Workshops there and lack the funds to transfer the Workshops from the Warehouse, If I could get the Cargo space working on the Gozanti up I could transfer it for basically "Free" but to fix it up further I need something more than a "Workbench" and a Freighters Toolkit that is all I have at the Farm.

Character update

Age 19 (cica 4BBY)

Still working on the Gozanti, built my first couple of prototype TIE-Droids out of converted OOM pilot droids, very disappointing, though proficient pilots they are dumb as a box of rocks and generally oblivious to their surroundings, after three low speed crashes because they didn't see there surroundings I started to kluge together more advanced OMM Droid Brains by adding Sensory co-processors from Security OMMs and Intelligence modules from Command OOMs, I'm working with the most basic droid workshop possible (since that's the best I can afford), no working upgraded Droid Brains, all I'm doing is letting the magic blue smoke escape.

the Gozanti is still waiting for me to reinstall Shields and at least the Quad Canons before I transfer the workshop from the warehouse to the farm. I need the Fighter Workshop to repair the TIE's the Droids crashed.

I'm keeping my discovery under wraps for the time being.

Got Four Major Quest Lines open ATM and a bunch of minor ones.

1) consolidate my Workshops to a central "House"
2) Restore the Gozanti
3) <Classified> (it's the major Story Quest ATM)
4) Destroy the Pirate Asteroid

I need the Payday from 4 to pay for 2 so I can do 1. I could grind cash from minor Quests to pay for 2, do 1 then solo quest 4 (if I can build some working improved TIE Droids, one of my minor quests). the GM wants to run quest 4 as a party adventure along side some regular companions, The "Not a Jedi" the "Not a Rebel" the Bounty Hunter and the Smuggler.

the Pirate Asteroid is giving lots of people problems, the Imperials want it gone, but don't want to pay for it, the Rebels also want it gone, but the local cells are short on Cash, the Merchants have pooled there Cash to post a mission fee for any Mercs that want the Job, even the Crime families are willing to turn a blind eye if someone takes them out.

Had some pickup games since mid year but getting in a few extra sessions since the main games are off for the silly season thought I'd post an update

Character update

Astra Wolfe, Mercenary TIE Pilot
Age 19 (cica 4BBY)

Dex: 3D, Blaster 4D, Brawling Parry 4D, Dodge 4D, Melee Combat 3D+2, Melee Parry 3D+2
Know: 3D, Bureaucracy 3D+2, Business 3D+2 Languages 4D, streetwise 4D, Tactics 4D, Value 4D
Mech: 4D, Astrogation 5D, Sensors 5D, Star Fighter Pilot 7D, Starship Gunnery 6D+2, Spaceship Shields 5D, Space Transports 4D+2
Per: 3D, Bargain 4D+2, Command 4D, Con 4D, Hide 4D, Persuasion 4D, Sneak 4D
Str: 2D, Brawling 4D, Climbing/Jumping 3D+1, Stamina 2D+2
Tech: 3D, Starfighter Repair 5D+1, Starship Weaponry Repair 5D, Droid Programing 4D, Droid Repair 5D, First-aid 3D+2, Security 5D, Starfighter Engineering 2D, Space Transports Repair 3D+2, Droid Engineering 1D.

Astra has spent a bunch of time spelunking around some Clone Wars Hulks including around a not quite Gladiator Class Carrier that had grounded it's self on a planetoid, I've set it up as a seckret base, I've got partial power and Atmo restored to the Hanger and adjoining compartments and a Droid Workshop. got the Gozanti working and restored most of the quarters and common areas and am using it for Escort missions and supply runs to the Carrier, have consolidated most of my stuff to the Farm.

Converted my two TIE Couriers to Troop Transports and loaded them up with concerted B-1's mockingly called "Droid Troopers" and used them to run rampant in a Pirate asteroid base wile the PT's shot up the outside of the base and the moored ships, this ended up crippling a small pirate squadron.

Currently Cash Poor and trying to fill in some money pits with salvage.

Cool! Sounds like Astra might become a droid engineer on the side!

Are these games all in-person or are some play by mail?

Anywho, i'm still having fun w/TIE/pt variants! My Inquisitor is selling them to other imperials...

The Droid Engineering is a means to an end, so she can get TIE pilots that can fly her way.

Most games are one on one but other players drop in and out.

I'm sorry i failed to be clear; are players & GM gathering in the same physical location or using the internet to play?
