End of Session graphic for great players

Last session try as I might, I could not get the opposing Zho forces to pick up my players in a Type-S. they got through the refuel at the gas giant and 12 hour purify (1/2 tank to refill) no events until hour 12. Mgt2E Book Encounters D66 came up 24 - Hostile Vessel, I made it a Zho Chadl Leader Scout. That Leader Scout FAILED his scan, Player gunner rolled 17 to lock, 12 to hit, and 17 AGAIN in damage. So they escaped unscathed.....darn

I made this with the 3D Model by 2nd Dynasty loaded into MS 3D Builder for the attitude position an scaling, then brought a screenshot into PaintshopPro 2023. I made a background with Universe Sandbox of the system and screen shotted that behind the Type-S. I added the laser and the fireball with the Pen and Airbrush tools.

Ad Astra!

At first glance, the picture looks kind of bland. But that's only if you didn't read what happened first.

After thinking about it for a few seconds, I realized the best thing about the picture is how the vastness of space is portrayed - the exploding ship is a very small explosion in the distance with the Scout pushing hard for the jump point.

I bet the players were sweating bullets, if they missed, the Zho ship would know it's not alone and under attack.

The best part was the gunner's response of pulling his eye away from the reticule:

*Looks up from the sighting reticle with a Shocked look on his face and says "....ahhhh yeah, Skill. Pure Skill"*
