Hi all,
When you stand in any wilds and use a sextant, over and over, the coordinates change - therefore sextants are useless! Odd one that.

Depends on what v0 is set to, which is the %chance that it will work. 8)

Hmmm… I wasn't aware that there was a chance factor in using a sextant. It's simple geometry. Surely that defeats the purpose of actually using a sextant.
Might as well delete the item type completely, because certainly from my own point of view as a mort, I wouldn't bother using it if there was a chance it would give me completely useless coordinates. =p
If you absolutely *HAVE* to add an unreliability factor to this, why not go with reality and base it on how much visibility/cloud cover there is.

Or base it upon the condition of the object. A worn/loose sextant isn't likely to work as well as a prestine sextant. Through age (if degradation is added) and repeated use, it will eventually become damaged.
