even without explosive decompression, space is kind of scary

A few nights ago, I was playing around with doing a Star Trek inspired game, and I feel like sharing. At the moment, I my notes are mostly concerning personal scale combat with some vague ideas for ship to ship combat that I’m not very happy with at the moment

You know, I was going to say, "you mean you can't use a phaser close range?" until I realized that they never do in the show either.

I was thinking that in something like a hostage situation, the hit range would be bigger (you might only need a 2 or a 3). It gives bad guys something to do.

On the other hand, I was also thinking close combat would have priority over ranged combat as long as the distance between the two characters isn't too far. Plus, I think that two people wrestling over a phaser is cool.
