*'''Technology:''' A handy skill used to operate key systems like shields, targeting computers, and jammers. Technology is most commonly used to Create Advantages such as "Shields", "Jammed". Your fighter must have an aspect granting permission to create such aspects. It can also be used to '''Overcome''' damage aspects (eliminating the free invoke if a consequence) or to remove advantages such as "Ionized" or "Power Loss." It is also used to operate the targeting computer to make missile or torpedo '''Attacks.''' | *'''Technology:''' A handy skill used to operate key systems like shields, targeting computers, and jammers.

Each round of combat starts by rolling a Notice '''Overcome''' roll to establish the initiative order. Players may post in any order they choose, but actions will be resolved in initiative order. Since combat senses play the biggest part in not letting another pilot get on your tail, Notice is used to '''Defend''' against Piloting advantage rolls related to establishing a superior position, and against "Hidden" type aspects. Notice may also be used to '''Overcome''', and possible '''Create Advantages''' when it comes to understanding the big picture of the battle and identifying targets or weaknesses. |
USC also uses the Aerial Dogfighting mechanic from Kriegszeppelin Valkyrie. Fighters are constantly maneuvering to get a good firing position on the other. To represent this (without the Maneuver Chart from Tachyon Squadron) attacking without first having some sort of advantage over their target will do no more than ONE stress of damage, no matter the bonuses, equipment or stunts that come into play. In order to do full damage, the player must first have some sort of advantage over the target... such as the type created through the '''Create an Advantage''' action. | USC also uses the Aerial Dogfighting mechanic from Kriegszeppelin Valkyrie.
