Subject: SDN Bash '99
On Sunday we had our first SDN bash. The only limitation was that the ship had to way in at 250 mass. 11 SDNs made the table but there were 2 late scratchings as their commanders went off to play DSII. Here are some of the designs. There may be a few inaccuracies The Yamato, player Alistair wave gun plus beams "Watch out for that planet" after losing his drives to needle missiles The Privateer, player Derek wave gun, heavy beam projectors, pulse torpedos, and beams "Big and red, I looked at the model and built it from there" The Basher, player me(Nik) 50 class 2 beams "I'll just roll these 85 dices first" A Centari SDN, player Daniel Beams only "I'll just have a smoke whilst you roll those 85 dice, call me for the next 85" Something by Beth Reflex field and all scatter packs "I couldn't decide which ship to take so I brought ten" "Come on shoot at me, I dare you shoot at me, please won't some one shoot at me" A Kra'vak SDN, Player Brian "How many class four railguns?" "It goes how fast?" "How many hull boxes" Pussy Galore, Player Michael Needle Missiles and beams "If I sit here in the corner no-one will shoot me" A NAC carrier, player Steve no weapons but torp fighters "How can I reload my torp fighters now" he lost his ship quickly A Free Arctic States SDN, player Nathan Beams Only he didn't say very much We dropped "strike the colours" didn't help me when my bridge went then rolled a six for damage Started a zero velocity "now who wants more than thrust one engines" Played vector movement with a planet in the middle with 12" gravity well Of course no one lost and every one won, mainly because we ran out of time and had to do our campaign movement.
