Some questions regarding the Tantive and one of the missions.

- Firstly does it start the game with any energy or start from 0 and start accumulating?

- In the second mission where its refueling, does it gain any energy while still or does it only start once it undocks? Also while docked it can basically do anything other than something that costs energy? (though depends on previous answer)

Thanks!

In a regular game no, it doesn't start with any energy. The rules would need an extra step in setup for adding energy countersthe same as they do for shields and they don't.

As for the scenario question, I don't know. Haven't had a chance to read the scenarios yet.

For the second question: At the start of the activation phase, while it is docked, remove a tracking token from the Aft section. Then, choose to either keep it docked or to detach. If it remains docked, then the CR90 activates normally during the activation phase, but does not execute a maneuver.

So the only differences are the removing the tracking token, choosing to detach or remain docked, and you do not execute a maneuver. It never states you don't set or reveal a maneuver dial, so you should still gain energy based on the maneuver revealed (minus the number of tracking tokens still on the Aft section ship card).

I see, thanks for clearing that up!

I stayed docked for four rounds to get my full energy generation. I made it about three rounds after that before having my fore crippled. I'd barely moved. Next time I may just make a run for it.
