You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Hey, -t, you should ask bt for behind the scenes emails too, and then the three of us can backchannel while we watch!

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Aw, a 3 way back channel? So jealous. I love back channeling with BT. Never had a 3 way.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG (peanut gallery)

That does sound like a good time, but I am not doing well keeping up with e-mail as it is. I'd better stick to in-thread kibitzing.

Been a while since I've been a pilot. Looks like I should launch out there and take care of some raiders. Seem good to everyone?

Yes please! We need some defense out there!

Oh, and does this mean we get to see the first NPC in action?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Oh, crap, right, Starbuck is going to have to have a little chat with Kat before taking off. I...I hope Kat is feeling good today.

Okay, since I'm the first one up on this and it's the first time with the whole NPC thing, and I've been sitting out a few rounds and have very rarely played pilots, let's walk through this.

I'm planning to launch in a Viper, I think I can launch into Sector 4, is that correct, and do folks think that is a prudent plan. How does the NPC play into this? If I'm out in a Viper does Kat come into play, or is it only if I'm still in the Hangar at the end of this turn?

You encounter an NPC if you're in the same location at the end of your Movement Phase. Launching occurs as your Action; so if you want to launch, you need to be on the Hangar Deck at the end of your Movement, and will therefore encounter Kat.

When you launch, you can launch into either Sector 5 or Sector 6. You get a bonus action too, which you can use to move from Sector 5 to Sector 4 (or instead to scout, XO someone, make piu piu noises at the RSV, as your fancy moves you.
