Starship Maneuvers

This page lists all the possible hex-grid movement actions that a starship can perform. Below each maneuver diagram, the table gives:

The name of the maneuver
The Difficulty Class (DC) of the Pilot check needed to perform the maneuver
The replacement maneuver that is performed instead if the Pilot check fails

If no DC is listed for a maneuver, then that maneuver can always be performed with no need for making a check. Maneuver checks take the usual Pilot check modifiers due to a ship's DEX score and size, with an additional cumulative –10 penalty for each size class above Colossal. A character trained in the Pilot skill can always choose to take 10 on maneuver checks. If a maneuver check fails by 5 or more points, the starship moves -1 step on the condition track.

A starship is normally restricted to moving no faster than the maximum rating of its sublight engines (i.e. its maximum speed), and can only change its speed by one step in either direction each round. To increase a starship's speed beyond its engine rating or to change speed by more than one step requires using the Increase Vehicle Speed or Change Vehicle Speed actions (see Vehicle Combat Actions)

Calculate Maneuver Check Modifiers and Probability of Success

The Pilot check modifier for performing maneuvers with a specific ship and crewmember will be calculated, along with the probability of success for each maneuver given the pilot's skill level. Green text means that the pilot can succeed by taking 10 on the check, while maneuver checks with red text must be rolled. Miscellaneous modifiers such as condition track penalties or a copilot's Aid Another bonus should be included in the "Pilot's Net Skill" amount.
