Essentially. In Star Warriors, each pilot descides what actions he/she
wishes to perform in a round of combat. Each action has a difficulty
number. All the action's values are added together giving a difficulty
number. The pilot then rolls a Piloting Skill Roll. If he beats the
target, he pulls off all his maneuvers as planned, in any order he
wishes as long as all actions are performed. Basically like writing
dowen ship movement orders in FT. If the pilot FAILS this test, the
plotted actions are STILL performed, but for every 5 points (or portions
thereof), the pilot must roll once on the HAZARDS table to simulate loss
of controll, excessive torque on the fighter, systems over taxation,
etc. Then both sides alternate moving and firing, one ship at a time.
