"While attacking a ship from your font hull zone, your icons count as 2 damage instead of 1."

Does the crit get "replaced" by 2 hits or is it Crit and Hit?

It doesn't change the dice, it just count as two damage.

So if you roll 4 reds, get two hits and one crit, it's four total damage (and a crit effect) rather than the usual 3.

If i roll 3 crits does that mean 6 damage?

If i roll 3 crits does that mean 6 damage?

Yes, each crit icon counts as 2 damage

If i roll 3 crits does that mean 6 damage?

Yes. 6 damage and one crit effect.

Being 2nd player on Opening Salvo with Salvation.

3 red + up to 3 black and a re-roll. Maybe XI7s.

Watch that VSD take some serious hull damage

...rarely happens, but when it does, it can be great fun to watch :-D

Agreed. But then again it costs as much as one AF2b, so it better be good

I've been running mine as Escort, and found the extra anti-squadron dice come in useful enough for it to be worthwhile, but aside from that this matches how I've been running the Salvation and it's a great way to land a world of pain on someone's ships.

I love the Salvation... But because I am a gambler. It is the diciest ship in the game. I once rolled 8 damage on a concentrate fire, and I've rolled 0 damage... More than once.

I run 2 nebs in my lists Salvation on Refit and Yavaris on Escort and add an AF for fun

That would do the trick nicely! If you're running both Salvation and Yavaris then the Yavaris is definitely the better candidate for being the Escort.

Should it be Escort or Support?

Answer these questions:

Q: Do I have points to spare?

A: No. You never have points to spare. Go with Support.

Q: Will it be commanding squadrons?

A: Maybe, but not very likely - since you SHOULD be using gunnery dials and tokens. Go with Support.

Q: Do you really need that extra blue anti-ftr dice?

A: Maybe - IF you think your opponent will send fighters into your side arcs. Then you MIGHT consider going Escort.

In conclusion: you should probably pick Support for Salvation and save yourself the points
