Even if the point reducer is moved to another ship? For example, lets say I have Stump on ship A, and then decide that I might want him on ship B. If I transfer him to ship B will he reduce the point costs of any crew on ship B?
Just to confirm, if I had a point reducer in my fleet, but didn’t have them assigned to a ship at the start of the game (placed on home island) would I be able to assign them to a ship later in the game via a transfer to gain the point reduction?
The effect is always active on whatever ship the reducer is on. If they transfer to another it’ll reduce the crew there instead, and crew on the previous ship will revert back to normal. (Note that if this would make the original ship’s crew total illegal, you’ll have to unload enough other crew to get below the un-altered limit before you can transfer the reducer.)
