Gem’s combat system is based on D20 table top RPG mechanics. We’ve made some changes that we hope will provide a balanced game - given the range of player levels and additional variable ship mods added to the system. | Gem’s combat system is loosely based on D20 table top RPG mechanics.

Space is big. So in order to attack another ship, you have to first target and intercept them. A D100 roll establishes the chance the attacking ship has to intercept its target. | Space is big.

If the D100 roll is between 1-75, the attacking ship has successfully intercepted its target. The attacking ship can increase the odds of successfully intercepting a target by installing targeting mods. The defending ship, can offset the targeting mods by installing evasion mods. | If the D100 roll is between 1-75, the attacking ship has successfully intercepted its target.
