Pilots! #15

Closed SomeNumbers closed 9 years ago

SomeNumbers commented 9 years ago

Pilots don't show up on the DRADIS as far as I can tell.

tmesser commented 9 years ago

They don't, I need to add a dummy component for this.

Reminder that pilots launch into vipers, so if there are no vipers in reserves they can't launch themselves in one

SomeNumbers commented 9 years ago

Pilots are allowed to dock an unmanned Viper and launch themselves in it.

clanpotshake commented 9 years ago

What are the rules for this? Does it have to be in Echo or Foxtrot?

MaxPeck commented 9 years ago

No, it can be anywhere. "If all vipers are already in play and a player wishes to activate the “Hangar Deck” location, he may choose to move a viper from any space area to the “Reserves” so that he may pilot it." (Base game rulebook p28)

MaxPeck commented 9 years ago

Thinking about this more, I think I'd rather just toss up an error reminding the user to manually land a viper if there are none in the reserves, since there's no way to predict which one they'll take and there's no point in coming up with a new form for it when there's a perfectly usable DRADIS already.

MaxPeck commented 9 years ago

There's actually existing code for the idea of vipers having pilots; MaxPeck/DeckManager@aac5cc6520 is most of the work to integrate it with player movement, but I need #42 fixed before I can be sure everything's working properly.
