 October 16, 2007 - 7:04pm | I don't recall the Centispeed...looking through the module (briefly at that) all I found was the VSS Last Legs. The description about the Legs says it was an old ship that was retrofitted. Since it's a lander, and going by Knight Hawks rules, that puts it at HS:3 at a maximum with a pair of atomic drives. Now my house rules say that a starship of up to HS:5 may be streamlined to land in an atmosphere, after all KH rules say a HS:5 system ship may do so then what difference do the drives really make? Even a craft with Ion drives can have a set of additional chemical drives for such duty, and the atomics work in either environment. But going strictly by KH rules, since it is a published module, I'd say the ship would be listed as follows: VSS Last Legs civilian scout ship HS:3 HP:15 Powerplant: 2 Atomic "A" ADF:4 MR:4 DCR:29 Crew: up to 12 (pilot, astrogator, engineer, owner, + up to 8 player characters) Armament: none (LB @ -1 ADF or MR) Defenses: none (although RH is certainly feasible) Communication/Detection: Subspace Radio, Radar, Energy Sensor, Intercom Misc: streamlined hull, camera system COMPUTER Alarm (2) Analysis (4) Astrogation (4) Communication (1) Damage Control (2) Drive (4) Industry (1) Life Support cap:12 (1) Maintenance (2) + optional Laser Battery (1) Cargo Capacity: 0.5 Crew Accomodations: 4 single, double, or triple cabins Passenger Accomodations: 0 Ship's Vehicles: 0 |

Most of my campaign notes are yellowing sheets of college-ruled and graph paper in three-ring binders...most of which are sitting in a box somewhere in my mom's house 800+ miles away in Georgia.

 November 3, 2007 - 1:11am | Well, it looks like the name of the ship got changed in the Remastered version. The original name is "VSS Last Legs", but the Remastered version calls it the "VSS Centispeed". Actually the original book gives it three designations. Front cover: UPF Centispeed. Back cover: VSS centispeed. Various pages :VSS Last Legs. Just be thankful the remastered version didn't have it labeled UPF: Lastispeed Or VSS Centilegs. |
November 3, 2007 - 2:41am | Actually the original book gives it three designations. Front cover: UPF Centispeed. Back cover: VSS centispeed. Various pages :VSS Last Legs. By golly, lad --- you're right! After all these years and I never caught that between the two covers and the interior. This would make for an interesting Marvel Comics "No-Prize" explanation... |
