If you can roll '13' w/ 2d6 & no mods then you are definitely in a class by yourself!   ;-P

 Hello
 Phil Pugliese,

 The problem is not the reliability of the system, the
 problem is that in
 majority of situations that I am resolving the actions
 of my character

 the dice roll seems to go south resulting in a failure
 that has amazed
 more than one Referee and the other people in the game.
 On the up
 side the failure usually kills only my
 character.

  Perhaps, but IMO that's a card that
 should
  be played sparingly - I mean,
  that's
  what the system
 is FOR.  If it's not reliable, then you
  get the
  players rolling
 their eyes
  ("oh look, the
 transporter/holodeck/ whatever
  is broken
 again because lazy writing I mean
  REASONS") and the characters
  wondering
  why they spent
 the credits and volume on something that
  never
  works.
  
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 My experience has always been
 that skimming/refueling/refining is, just like a simple
 basic jump, pretty much a 2-12 on 2d6 for success.
 The only time a failure happens is for the same
 reason a jump failure happens & we all know how that
 comes to be...
