The term "relocate" suggests to me it is not to be considered executing a maneuver nor another form of moving such as a boost or barrel roll. Ships "move" while remotes "relocate."

This so much. Relocate is the non-maneuver, non-move way to change the position of things on the mat.

You guys are certainly overthinking things... You've registered your guesses. No sense arguing over the this because, right or wrong, FFG will release the information within the next couple of weeks.

this is a graph of sadness, do not look upon it

It gets slightly better if you assume you still have defensive calculate via Networked Calculations - only a 15.6% chance to take 2 damage, or 17.4% chance to eat a single crit (about 25% of which either instantly kill you or neuter your attack so much that they may as well have killed you). So something like a 20% chance for a single 3 die focus attack to initiative kill a Vulture at range 2.

no, no

this is to kill the buzz droids

on a 2-dice primary, it's like 50/50

I assumed you were talking about the shot on the Vulture that just burned its calculate to launch the Buzz Droid. If a Buzz Droid eats a 3 dice+focus attack that seems like a good use of the points for the CIS player considering how fragile Vulture Droids are.

That is still a **** of allot better than the "kan't B kylld" crap I've seen floating around.

Yes, please shoot the buzz droids instead of my ships

Also it seems funny to see an opposing ship try to shoot at it, get 1 hit and Dookrew the evade if the buzz droid is gonna hurt a ship.

Yeah, it's actually terrifying. You blow a shot just for a 30% chance to whiff.

I'm an idiot - I was thinking Vultures were 3 AGI / 2 Hull - ignore my math

What are you people doing? Stop it.

Clearly the buzz droids fall off if they're not latched to the front guides.

Also apparently you can shake them off with a barrel roll.

Not only do they fall off the ship, they must then fall off the table, until they latch onto the floor. They must remain stuck to the floor until removed with aggressive cleaners and a small chisel.

That's a reference too far for me I'm afraid!

DC Comics used to have a multiverse, with Earth 1, Earth 2, Earth Prime, Planet Formerly Known as Earth, etc.; each with their own versions of the superheroes and supervillains. In the '80s, they realized that this was needlessly confusing, and had a story with a multiverse-spanning threat that ended up destroying all but one universe. The story was called "Crisis on Infinite Earths".

I'm sure there was a lot more to it than that, but that should be enough to understand what I was going for.

Lol. I was just thinking of the parallel universe with the evil federation.

Is that not basically the episode " Parallels "?

The problem is Networked Calculations; unless you have some nasty trick in mind, you kind of have to assume that any Vulture has access to at least 2-3 defensive calculate tokens if it really needs them. You can't spend a buddy's calculate to fire discord missiles, but you can spend them on your defence after you've used your own.

You beat me to it. One of my favorite TNG episodes. Everything that can happen does happen is a terrifying and comforting theory all at once.

Everything except orienting your ship differently, according to that picture...

Yeah, Black Shirt Dude missed Old Spock's entire conversation in that movie pointing out that they were existing in a new, alternate time line from the one he came from, not that they eliminated his original timeline or any of the events of it.
