Spaceship Random Encounter

1.a, Determine Ships
(roll each part and calculate total traffic)

20/10/6 High/Med/Low Traffic
4/6/8 best/good/poor sensors (ghosts)
2/4/6  hostiles (high/med/low) sec
2/4/6 law (low/med/high) sec
2/4/6 (low/med/high) salvage

1.b, Player is allowed to activate EMC at this time. While EMC is active there is a -20 to all sensor rolls)

2, Roll Sensor skill

After you have figured out how many signals are within the play area, you need to assign them a designation. Write out a numbered list of ships, this will represent the ship pool. When you succeed a sensor check you will randomly assign the ship based off the random roll from your ship pool. Assign a ship a designation going clockwise from your vessel. On a failed roll, you are unable to identify the ships during this round. On a critical fail roll more ghosts onto the board in accordance with your sensor rating. (If you are EMC you are only allowed passive sensor range, and enemies have a -30 modifier to detect you.)

*On fail you may want to add more Ghosts or hostiles to the scene. determine a proper value and roll for those values to add to the map.

3. Determine action then apply actions for all ships this turn. Including initiating combat. (Roll D10, enemy ship attack closest ship on even numbers, players on 1 or 0)

Ships have different hit points and stats. 

Easy ships have a 40/40 combat/evasive skill

medium ships have a 50/50 combat/evasive skill with 150hp and 150dmg torp, 75dmg pdc.Sensor to detect 50. 8 missiles

Hard ships have a 60/60 combat/evasive skills with 250hp and 200dmg torp, 100dmg pdc.Sensor to detect 60. 16+

Provisions represent the Reaction Mass, the food and bio-gel used by Fabricants and the general need for survival in the ship. A crew member uses a single unit of provision a day. A larger crew requires more provisions. 

1 unit of provision is used a day for the crew, each provisions cost 1k credits.
