Other (Done) Starship Battles Tournament - JJayFeather wins by default

Approved by Da Letter El

Tournament format: 8 or 16 players, single elimination

Starship design rules are here, starship combat rules are here

Overview: Build starships according to some restrictions, then fight an enemy from 20 hexes away (facing each other).

Rules:
  • Starships must be Starfinder RPG ships, built according to host specification (Tier, Frames, available Crew)
  • With each battle, the tier and available frames will increase.
  • Don't watch other players' battles, though logs will be made available after the tournament (those eliminated entirely may ask the host for access).
  • Battles must be completed within one week of the matches being posted (I will randomly choose who faces who within each bracket and not post the brackets themselves). I will understand if there are some scheduling conflicts, but this must be reported to the host (Aura Guardian) as quickly as possible. I will adjudicate who wins in that case, based on who tried the most to arrange the battle.
  • Ships must be sent to the host (with build points and power core usage accounting) for approval
  • These battles do not permit any ship with Expansion Bays to have any fighters or shuttles or the like docked in them. Frankly, I advise for min-max purposes just selecting all cargo holds or the like.
  • Players may select any of the crew from the listing below. They can change their role, but have a bonus 6 less than someone chosen for the role. LIMITS: Max one gunner per weapon, max one Engineer plus one per four Tiers (1 in tier 1/2 and 1, but you really want pilot or pilot/gunner; 2 in tier 4; 3 in tier 8; 4 in tier 12; 5 in tier 16). There will also be nameless crew assigned to the various roles, but this is for flavor only.
  • Maps will be on Google Drawings; I'll be the only one to edit, with players telling me what they attempt and where to move to.
Tier 1/2 crew have +6 to Piloting/Gunnery
Tier 1 crew have +9 to Piloting/Gunnery
Tier 4 crew are categorized as:
--> Pilot (+14 Piloting/Gunnery)
--> Engineer (+14 Engineering)
--> Gunners (+14 Piloting/Gunnery)
--> Science Officer (+14 Computers)
--> Captain (+13 Diplomacy/Intimidate/Piloting/Gunnery)
At Tier 8, crew get +18 to their checks, including the captain
At Tier 12, this increases to +23, except the Captain who only has +22

Round 1: Tier 1/2 Tiny Frames only (40 build points)
Round 2: Tier 1, Small Frames only (55 build points)
Round 3: Tier 4, Small or Medium Frames only (115 build points)
Round 4 (16 players only): Tier 8, Medium or Large Frames only (205 build points)
