Looks like I got it. Will write in IC later. I'll be claiming Spade 2, then.

Also, is the spolier code on this board <spoiler><\spoiler> but with brackets?

Replace the backward slash with a forward one and you got it.

And just realized we have two Spade 2s...I'll switch over to Spade 6.

Sorry, I guess my mind was fragmented multitasking when writing it on my phone. It's a typo, I'll switch it back Spade 4 to avoid any further confusion.

Alright, switching back.

I'll get the IC post up tonight.

Since I failed can I attempt to open a private channel with Spade 2 to gain the coordinates? A computer check?

When it says wing pairs, does that mean the PC's split into 2 and 1 person does the scan?

One of the two characters the PC roleplays does the check and the other can assist (boost dice).

Cool, am I ok to go spade 5 and pair with @Vergence then?

I believe nobody has selected Spade 5 and the scan check is between the humanoid & droid within your Y-wing. Vulc doesn’t mind being your wingman if we do any flight qualifications requiring one.

There's 6 PCs and 6 NPCs in Ywings. Each NPC Ywing is paired with one of you, gives you an extra blue die, and dramatically dies first if you get shot at.

Okay, so we have a NPC wingman. Cool.

Hmm, now I wonder if I should have let my droid do the scanning, then. It's better than my character at Computers. What do you think, @Rakaydos ?

Can I use my boost to see if there's anything else of interest out in space?

For the purposes of this training mission, there is nothing interesting here, but good thought.

Could have. Something to remember next time.

This first mission is going to be rather guided, because it's a vehical tuturial not actual RP.

We have 5 players posted IC in 3 days. Should we wait for Sterf, or chalk him up to standard PBP losses?

Alright, thanks for the response. Don't mind the first mission. And as for @Sterf , I'd be fine waiting for an additional day.

Sorry for the delay, I'm still visiting my family after christmas. I will be more active again after 07.01.

Can I use the 4 advantage to give a boost die each to my pilot and my Astromech?

For your next roll, yes. This stacks with the wingman bonus.

Currently working on my character. Is there a specialization that would be a better fit than others? Do we have a squad leader already?

Squadron's full up at the moment, but if someone drops you might be able to jump in.

Are we using Norton's rules @Rakaydos

@Rakaydos When changing your position how does it factor in with your speed.

Speed 4 is 1 "band" per action.

Speed 2 takes a double move to cover one band. Speed 6 covers 2 bands with 1 acton.
