I considered submitting something like this myself but figured a multiplier would be too complicated. The ADDITION of the canon value makes this much more intuitive.

We may need to clarify “week” as meaning either “the last 7 days”, “Su-Sa”, or some other time span.

Ye be in luck. Check the Glossary; Week is clearly defined within.

Ah, ok, I missed that. Thanks for the heads-up.

id like to see some consequence for losing (maybe pay to fight?)

“If the first roll is now higher than the second, they Win the Fight; if not, they Lose.”

What if the resulting values are equal?

Could use some tweaking, but I really love the idea.

Not a fan of dice.

[Matt] If they’re equal then the first is “not” higher than the second.

No PVP. Seems a little too random, even for a dice based system, since Cannons currently max out at all of five?

I think, for inter-player conflict, it should be more strategic, not just having a bigger number and hoping to get lucky;

Although a numbers-heavier thing can work fine for NPC combatants.

Raichu:
Regarding the simplicity of it, I was trying to make something easy to handle. It could just be rolled, resolved and be over with; that way, you didn’t need to wait for the other player to get online to resolve the fight. I do have ideas for ship upgrades that would complicate matters though.

I also considered using DICE6 instead of DICE 10, but thought chance didn’t do enough there.

Clucky:
I actually had a sentence typed where losing when robbing forced you to give 2 pieces to the Victim. I then deleted it, thinking it made robbing too risky.

(I wasn’t done typing that, but my computer seems to think I was.)

Clucky:
Potential concerns over Robbing is why I stuck a EVC clause on it.

Matt:
Just to confirm, Kevan’s reading is the intended one; ties go to the other player.

The defender winning in ties seems fine.

No PvP

For some reason though the evc needed to pass for pvp to happen not the other way around

Revoting with the words “No PvP”.

  no PVP

Maybe someone could factor speed into the battle as well?

It’s funny to me that this is so similar to Raichu’s space dynasty’s mechanic for combat. Remembering what ol’ Purplebeard did to me back then makes me think that this isn’t the best mechanic. (Ignore that I went on to win that one) 

Cmon, this would ruin the other preposal!

Which can just be reproposed, with a different, better, combat system.

And if they’re getting in the way there’s always the “Veto the Proposal that does nothing for expediency” option, though it can probably just pass ad do nothing.

And, yeah, it did make me think of that mechanic, which was… Yeah I don’t really like dice, either, and that was a good example why.

No PVP

Actually, looking at the rule, if someone was to paste it in after a new combat mechanic, it would work just fine, probably without any alterations! (As long as the word “fight” stays the same.) yeah, no PVP no dice.

Whoops.
