fallen & LordofSyn Definitely pumped up by your thoughts on this team build. Thanks for the +1 K too. John Robinson - all of the +1s are yours! So glad that the Spy really shone for you once you invested in them, and you see why we are set on Electronics as a key skill. Very exciting build and really cool, I love that you made it all the way to 32 in a small ship built to avoid combat, that's fascinating play. To answer your question -- if a Skill Save (like Intimidate) fails, then no other Skill is tested to reduce the negative results. I left out a very important piece of information. What about my Spy card deck? (I'll edit and add this to first post) My Team is at level(32) and can add no further talents. Just noticed this morning a really cool card has been added that I will using in my next build. This should add 5 more cards to my deck using the same build. | Cloak and Dagger | Spy(11) | Replace risk card with mission success card |
Here is my Current SIGINT Spy card deck | Cards | Talent | Description | Crew/rank | | 6 | Espionage Sweep | When Spying remove a risk card | Spy(1) | | 5 | Wide Sweep | When Spying reroll a card | Etech(5) | | 4 | Clink of Credits | Replace a risk with credit skim or score reward | Etech(11) | | 4 | Swift Sweep | Remove a risk card | Pilot(8) | | 6 | Scouring Search | Replace risk with Intel records reward | Spy(5) | | 25 |

I would rather not hire a Pirate because the only talent of value to me is icy stare? I can see that you don't see a great need for Barrel Roll as you want no ship combat at all, but should you ever get attacked by something that manages to close on you, you will be glad to have it. I think that Menacing Demeanor is something you want as well. And Faked Signature is like Skip off the Void for Bounty hunters, which also doesn't damage your ship. All great choices. The Spy(5) also has Faked Signature to throw off Bounty hunters. Barrel Roll only works at a range less than 5, so I opted for Spy(1) Bolt +30 escape. The Juror already has +25 speed/agility. At worst I take 1 round of damage and escape. I did take Menacing Demeanor because I had more points than I need, until more talents become implemented. By the time I took Menacing Demeanor it had almost no effect on the way I was playing. The toughest challenge of this build is staying alive early in the game waiting for the characters to level a few times. Thanks to a posting of yours I learned the wisdom of, Skip off the Void. Thanks again for your invaluable advice.  John Robinson i think you defined the model for sharing strategy/build paths amongst players. Thank you for sharing your insight and knack for logically breaking down approaches to strategy games. Thanks coming from you that is high praise. I've become better acquainted with you through the forum, and twitch sessions. I am very impressed, and have allot of fun exchanging ideas, and sharing a warped sense of humor.

Okay, that begs the question (on my behalf at least) as to who Itami13 and Mint Dragon from the Twitch streams are.
Is Craig one of them? If so, which one? And who is the other one?
Edit: Answered part of that question by logging into the desktop version (tapatalk is okay, but leaves much to be desired)

LordofSyn - hmmmm, interesting Did you already do a lot of modding on the graphics? Or is that the video encoding being strange?

I believe it is due to the .flv format as I did not convert the raw flv files to mp4 prior to uploading them. Should I convert one to see if there is a difference in quality (and to remove the odd artifacts? ) |

Not really a good idea, but since everything looked so different, I thought you might have. |

Yah, Tapatalk displays the username, not the displayname that the forum proper does. Confused me at first as well :-) |

Confused me at first as well :-) It also doesn't show the tables that John has in his posts. I wasn't aware they were tables until I logged in via my laptop to post the videos. |

There are a number of them for HoS that you might find useful as well. |

As much as I appreciate that, I will just log in on my laptop to view the pages if I see something that looks like it could be potentially from a table. I do appreciate the offer though. |

John Robinson I think what would help is if you mentioned there was a table in the post, so tapatalk users can know to get out a browser, rather than need to guess.

I tend to use my other devices so as to free resources I would otherwise use on my laptop. It isn't the most powerful nor newest by any stretch.
Plus, it.isn't meant for gaming, but that's what I use it for most of the time, so it needs all the free resources possible. Lol
