The Flamboyant Monkey-Class Frontier Cruiser is a 50,000 dton cruiser armed with a spinal Meson Gun, particle beam bays, triple laser turrets, heavy laser turrets, and lighter point-defense triple laser turrets. It is also equipped with a small number of missiles and sandcasters which were ignored in this battle. It is capable of 2G's of acceleration.
The Cruiser also carries a number of fighters which were also ignored.
The battle starts at a range of 200 hexes (2,000,000 miles). Neither side is aware of the other. The Cruiser begins approaching the Irbaks (going after whatever they are guarding) and both sides use PESA until contact is made.
All operators are assumed to have skill 13 except the gunner for the Monkey's spinal meson gun. He has a skill 14.
I'm ignoring missiles for now since I'm interested in seeing how energy weapons work out. I'll do other examples for missiles.
The Monkey has a sensor roll of:
Skill 13 + scan 47 + size mod 8 - emissions cloaking 4 - range 64 - range
The Irbaks have a sensor roll of:
Skill 13 + scan 41 + size mod 12 - emissions cloaking 4 - range 62 - range
Until weapons range is reached, I'll list the turns in a table:
| Monkey | Irbaks | range | range | |||
| Turn | spd | det. | spd | det. | (hex) | mod. |
| 1 | 0 | 8 | 0 | 6 | 200 | -56 |
| 2 | 2 | 8* | 0 | 6 | 198 | -56 |
| 3 | 4 | 8 | 0 | 6 | 194 | -56 |
| 4 | 6 | 8 | 0 | 6 | 188 | -56 |
| 5 | 8 | 8 | 0 | 6 | 180 | -56 |
| 6 | 8 | 9 | 0 | 7 | 172 | -55 |
| 7 | 8 | 9 | 0 | 7 | 164 | -55 |
| 8 | 8 | 9 | 0 | 7* | 156 | -55 |
| 9 | 8 | 9 | 6 | 7 | 142 | -55 |
| 10 | 8 | 10 | 12 | 8 | 122 | -54 |
| 11 | 8 | 11 | 18 | 9 | 96 | -53 |
| 12 | 8 | 12 | 18 | 10 | 70 | -52 |
| 13 | 6 | 12 | 12 | 10 | 52 | -52 |
| 14 | 4 | 12 | 12 | 10 | 36 | -51 |
| 15 | 4 | 12 | 12 | 10 | 20 | -49 |
| 16 | 4 | 12 | 6 | 10 | 10 | -47 |
| 17 | 4 | 12 | 0 | 10 | 6 | -46 |
| 18 | 4 | 12 | 0 | 10 | 2 | -43 |
det. is skill roll to detect.
Gunner rolls are as follows:
Monkey Skill Acc Targ RoF Size Total Spinal 14 14 8 7 8 51 - range Lasers 13 13 8 7 8 49 - range PD Lasers 13 13 8 10 8 52 - range Irbaks 13 13 8 7 12 53 - range
On turn 14 the spinal meson gun is in range (max) but the roll to hit is -1.
On turn 15 the spinal meson gun needs a 2 to hit.
