Remeber that hazards are like plot complications in GCW... if your groups MD is over 10, you need to take hazards to reduce it down. Also, a ref can always...
So I was flipping through the missions in Pax just to get an idea of what kind of things the crew might need to do and I was looking over the Fungatator Famine...
Hmmm... I'm still confused after all. For the Hazards with an Indicator Threshold, it says that if you roll it you should just skip it if Fate hasn't breached...
Good Find. The ref should reduce the MD with plot twists or hazards to 7 or lower. This kind of error tends to happen on the extremes. It is usually a good...
If your MD is higher than 10, you select hazards and apply the MD modifier to lower the MD to 10. If your MD is 13, you find hazards with MD modifier adding...
Umm... yes, it does. You use a hazard under any of 4 conditions. 1. The Fate threshold for a given campaign indicator has reached 3 or higher. In this...
... I appreciate your attempts to help me explain this, and it is most likely my own foolishness which makes this difficult, but the points you make above...
Ok, I see where your confusion on situation 2 arises... I will wait for M. Siadek to weigh in on this issue for a definative answer, but I would imagine that...
... I got'cha, and it makes sense... sort of. But at the same time, in GCW letting an enemy campaign indicator hit level 3 carried a penalty. If the only...
You guys have been working this out quite well, and I'm sorry if there's been confusion. The Hazard Chart has two functions: 1) The Hazard Chart provides an MD...
Greetings all, A friend of mine highly recommended Battlestations to me and from what he's told me it's a very good game - complex enough to make things...

Just getting started with Battlestations. Long time DM - this looks to be the perfect combination of role playing & action. What drew me to the game is that my...
Yes, "Boot Camp" is an extremely bad choice... It's the Kobyashi Maru of Battlestations. I always like the "Assault X" series, as they're very simple and have...
Ok, who's written up a Kobyashi Maru mission? :) The heroes receive a distress call from a disabled freighter. They warp in to investigate, only to find that...
I just cheat at that mission here is how. Flip the GM the bird take your books and go home since you bought them anyway and run the next game yourself. That is...
Below is a quote from the rulings posted in the files section. Does that mean that bots have hit-points to take the damage? Or is that a typo? Thanks. ...

Well there is also that GCW mission Escape. That one is pretty nasty and just comes down to trying to survive. ... take your books and go home since you...
I couldn't find the reference in the official FAQ. I seem to recall something about this but August of '05 was a long time ago. Here's the official ruling as...
Well, the thing with "boot camp" is that you get to do a lil' bit of everything. It's not an impossible mission, but a very difficult scenario. My first (and...
