Though we try to do a lot of ship combat, I really appreciate this example and I'm sending it to my players. Thanks!

since there is no response I guess just keep trying.

I know this is a really old thread but it is still applicable.

So i am Slightly confused on initiative then. It would seem that there are only two ships. So why are there 8 initiative slots? Are there 3 crew in each freighter and then one in each snub fighter?

Strylith, An initiative slot is given to each actor in the scene not to each ship.

Agreed. The rules are clear about limits for maneuvers per turn, they don't say anything about who performs them. If a ship lists a co-pilot or pilots, let er rip. As long as that PC states they are sitting shotgun and performing actions appropriate to that station, it's all good.

I agree, too. Don't forget, that Han handed over the whel to Chewie on more than one occasion. Sometimes the pilot is better used at a different station inside the ship, where the Co-pilot wouldn't be as competent.

Ah okay. Sounds good thanks.

I was about to post a question about this (yeah, a year after the original post), and I wasn't able to find anything through the search method of the Forum. In this situation, Google was my friend (and it pointed right back to here!

I wanted to say THANKS! I will be reading it carefully (and re-reading it) to see how you've done it.
