Pilots! #15

Closed SomeNumbers closed 10 years ago

SomeNumbers commented 10 years ago

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

tmesser commented 10 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 10 years ago

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

clanpotshake commented 10 years ago

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

MaxPeck commented 10 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 10 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 10 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.
