Combat in Explosive Decompression:

Attacker's weapons use 1d10 for Hit roll, Defender uses 1d6 for Evasion roll.
If Hit > Evasion, Defender is hit and receives damage.

---

Order of Turns on Explosive Decompression:

First, before a Space Battle begins, everyone has to choose then loadout from the Equipment they have: an Armor and at least 1 Weapon system must be equipped on a ship to allow it to fight.
The rest remains in their inventory but is not accessible until the end of the current space Battle.

Everyone posts their targets, then GM resolves the duels by the order in which they were posted. If no one is killed, the fight contines on.
If someone is killed, they're removed from the Battle. Everyone gains 2 Starbux, and the person who killed the removed player gains extra 2 Starbux.

Between space Battles, every ship is repaired to full Hull Points, and can spend Grade Points to buy new items and sell the ones they don't want (receiving 1 Grade Point less than they cost (toss that Low grade crap to trash can!)).
Also, the Transmutation Randomizer will activate, and one lucky player will have a chance to get something very nice! Read below for exciting details!

This continues until the Final Duel, between the two remaining players. The player who wins gains immortal glory!

Fighters and Fighter Roles:

When you have a Fighter Bay, you can launch 1 Fighter Wing per Turn.

That Fighter Wing can be then assigned either Bombing or Interception role.

Bombing role means that the Fighter wing will approach enemy warship and, hopefully getting through Interceptors and PD weapons, attacking it with onboard beams.
Interception role means that the Fighter wing will be on watch for enemy Fighters coming at your ship and engage them.

Bombing and Interception Fighters do battle; Bombing Fighters roll for Evasion while Interceptors roll for Hit.
Any Bombing Fighters that lose the combat roll are hit and damaged (or even destroyed) and run away back to their mothership.

If a Bombing Fighter wins the combat roll, it then attacks the warship... unless it has any Lazor weapons set as Point Defense!
Bombing Fighters that get through PD weapons as well deliver their deadly payload and return to their Mothership.

Returning Fighters then need to spend 1 Turn at their mothership for refueling; if any were damaged but survived, they are also fully repaired.
Fighters lost during a space Battle will be replaced after current Battle's conclusion.

---

Point Defense Weapons:

Bombing Fighters and Missiles are in danger of being intercepted by enemy Point Defense weapons.

Most Lazors can be set as Point Defense before beginning of a Battle; you cannot switch PD setting on/off in middle of a Battle.
Point Defense setting bestows a +4 Hit roll bonus to the weapon but also lowers their maximum Damage by 4 points.
Two Kinetik weapons, Mini-Flak and Heavy Flak, can be set as Point Defense too; these do not suffer damage reduction penalty.

Weapon set as Point Defense does not target enemy Warship; instead, it automatically attacks incoming Bombing Fighters and Missiles.
PD Weapon roll for Hit chance, while Bombing Fighters and Missiles roll for Evasion.
Victorious Missiles and Fighters deal damage to the warship; defeated Missiles are exploded while Fighters are damaged (or destroyed) and run away back to their mothership.

---

Damage Types and Resistances:

Each weapon has a Damage type, expressed as three-letter combination in a square bracket. Through various means, you can obtain Resistances to these.
There are 4 damage types: Solid [SLD], Electrical [ELC], Heat [HET], and Plasma [PLS].

Resistances use + to indicate their level:
[+HET]: You receive 25% damage less (rounded down) from Heat; (the lowest possible here is 1)
[++HET]: You receive 50% damage less (rounded down) from Heat; (the lowest possible here is 1)
[+++HET]: You receive 75% damage less (rounded down) from Heat; (the lowest possible here is 1)

---

System Disabling and Prevention Thereof:

Every time damage is done to your Ship, there's a small (10%) chance that a random system on board will be Disabled.
Disabled system does not work unless it is restored by Automated Damage Control or Multibot Repair Drone; Disabled systems are also restored at end of a Battle.

Armor and Integral systems are both immune to Disabling.
You can also prevent Disabling with System Insulator Matrix, a Master Grade Integral system.

The Transmutation Randomizer!

Congratulations! You have been choosen by the Transmutation Randomizer to activate its marvelous engines!
You can back away from it, but why would you? Just bet a ship system and activate the Randomizer to obtain a higher grade system!
For example, if you bet a Low Grade System, the Randomizer will exchange it for 1 random item from Medium Grade Item category just for you! Ain't this cool, huh!?
