Starship combat questions
Hey,
i am wrapping my head around starship combat and i can't figure out, how to handle it properly.
Every ship is placed on the map and in the starship combat tracker. Crew is assigned to the PC ship, directional arrows are shown. As soon as i want to star the battle, these questions occur:
1) Engineering phase - if i choose the divert action and it is successful: if i chose to restore the shields, how can i add the points to the arc? There is no button to do it automatically and if i use it manually, the shield points are restored to the amount they were before the action (if for example damage was already taken).
2) Helm phase - how do i role initiative for the enemy ships? If i use the pilot action for the pc pilot during the helm phase, initiative is added to the combat tracker, yet that doesn't happen if i make a pilot check for the enemy ship that has to take its action. Am i overlooking something here?
3) Gunnery phase - Hitting the enemies after targeting them is no problem, but how do i apply damage? Is dragging the damage dice into the combat tracker to only way to apply damage to the target? I had hoped that, after i hit the targeted enemy a simple double click on the weapon's damage dice would automatically apply the damage to the target. Am i doing something wrong here?
That's it for now. Once i get these things going i am probably coming up with other stuff.
Thanks for helping out! :D
