    Shoot B4, use focus if possible.
    Otherwise, use focus defensively for when B4 shoots at me.

    Ok, so you can immediately attempt the mission again, or the other option

    NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK - Netural Territory 12 Rounds

    Primary: Recover the Escape Pod:
    1) Scan the tracking tokens to reveal the Escape Pod token (#12).
    2) The Recovery ship loads the Escape Pod by docking with it.
    3) The Recovery ship escapes from edge A.
    Bonus: If the Container token is recovered, All players gain one free secondary weapon upgrade of their choice.
    Bonus: The pilot who performs the most protect actions on the Recovery Ship gains 2XP. If tied, all tied players gain 1XP.

    Success: Continue Mission Line
    Failure: Continue Mission Line

    well, nobody got blown up at least!

    ok I had 11 banked before this mission, so...20 exp to spend

    I'm going to spend 6 to go from pilot skill 2->3, and another 6 to pick up Predator, to start with

    I'm kind of feeling like I should swap to either the Autoblaster or Dorsal turret, any thoughts?

    How many points would I have left if I upgraded my pilot skill?

  • Options
    DaMoonRulzDaMoonRulz Mare ImbriumRegistered User regular
    @Farangu Not sure how much you have (if the amount in the roster is before or after the mission) but costs 6 to go to PS3 and 8 to go to PS4

    Well the sheet says I have 9 banked, in addition to the 7 I just got, so I'll go to PS4 and start saving for a new ship.

    Do our expended munitions get refilled for free, or do we have to rebuy them?
    Spending 3 XP to get my hot shot blaster back, banking the remaining 2, (unless I need to spend one to get my tracers reloaded).

    Another question, the z-95 gets an EPT at pilot skill 3, if I take the EPT Adaptability, which costs 0 points and use it to boost my pilot skill to 4, would I be able to take the additional modification that the z-95 gets a PS4?
    I'm guessing no, but I figure it doesn't hurt to ask.

    Munitions are automatically replenished. You only have to make the initial purchase for items like hot shot blaster, mines, missiles, etc

    @see317 no to adaptability

    maybe? I do like Y-wings a lot

    dorsal and autoblaster turrets are pretty cheap so I'm not worried about the expense too much, and it's not as if I could take anything much to the Starviper or Mist Hunter regardless

    Oh well, it was worth a shot.

    Then, spend the 3 to get my hot shot blaster back (lost it by playing dodge mine, then losing a game of chicken with a flight of TIEs on the previous mission) and bank the other 2 xp.

    I'm going to raise my PS to 3 (6), purchase Concussion Missiles (4), and purchase Deadeye (2) for a total of 12xp with 2 banked.

    For this next mission, I'll be running with Conc Missiles instead of the Ion turret. Also going to switch out Stealth Device for Guidance Chips. Everything else remains equipped.

    Edit: sheet is updated for myself.

    We could all pick up Attani Mindlink on the cheap. Food for thought.

    Request access again and I'll give you edit permissions
    Whoops! Apparently you didn't have edit permissions, just view. My b.

    I updated the thing, so make sure I did it correctly.

    Looks like 3 votes for the new mission, no votes for returning to harass the shuttle.

    SETUP

    Place yourselves and the YT1300 in the range 1 band on the southern portion of the map.

    12919683_10208015460237201_7211732018358425354_n.jpg?oh=3d3ed5711260135c673bdfaee071db56&oe=577CA622

    The tracking tokens in the middle of the clouds need to be scanned. To scan get within range 1 and use your action to scan. Scanning is worth 1XP. The YT1300 can also scan and fire at enemies but does not gain XP for doing so. One you find what you're looking for, the YT1300 can overlap the item to DOCK. Takes 1 turn to dock.

    Ion Clouds obstruct and prevent range 3 shots through them. If you pass through one or overlap, roll a die and on a Crit you get ioned and take 1 damage.


    Also, figure out who's flying. @Brody Sorry, I forgot to cycle you back in last time, so you have first dibs on flying

    Put me towards the right side, just to the left of the ion cloud there. As far forward as I can be.

    Would it be possible to put the movement templates/range ruler on the map picture, like off to one side? Would make it easier to estimate movement to have them on screen for scale.

    Thanks, but I think I've over booked myself for the next couple of weeks. Unless y'all need another pilot. Then I'll find a way to make it work.
