Regarding Hacking in the Ghost Ops (Savage Worlds). There were several incidents of hacking, with the first an attempt to hack into the ship’s system communication’s system (a simple difficult TN) from the mainland. This was somewhat successful but resulted in being identified and counter-hacked (opposed rolls). The second hacking took place once on board, when the team found an open laptop from a dead tango and used that as an in to the system. While the team go into the firefight, the hacker hunkered down in the stateroom of the dead tango (shooting through the door when necessary).

I was able to add some detail to the interior of the ship, but the board warped a bit when painted, so it was difficult to show figures in the halls because the bases wouldn’t fit. I’m going to redo the interiors of the superstructure so there’s more room for the figures as well as more detail. I’m a little disappointed that the group didn’t make it to the bridge or engage the enemy on the forward half of the ship as they had planned, but that’s what happens when Stealth rolls go bad.
