Fixed/added to ability of USS Mercury (RotF 093): “This ship ignores terrain when she is given a move action (islands are not terrain).”

It’s not part of the keyword I realized, but part of the ability text on some of the Limit/Ransom crew. The +5 crew specifically were what I was looking at.

That last line would prevent that crew from being transferred/unloaded in any way, correct?

Ah, yes in that case.

The 0LR Rerollers don’t have that line, so they could be transferred b…[Read more]

Transferring crew/cargo/etc. between ships counts as unloading from one and loading onto the other, so the Ransom crew has to stay where they are.

With no island involved in the transfer I think it would work. I don’t see anything in the Ransom keyword or its Code entry that prohibits transferring a Ransom crew between friendly ships.

Each would have to be targeted separately/independently. Changing or removing targets later would be done individually too.

Interesting… sounds like CDJ can declare a ship a target of one kraken on one turn, and then declare a different ship a target of a different kraken on another turn….

Could be an interesting use of a Copier too, to get…[Read more]

So thank you to Ben for putting everything together and providing so much information so it is easy and accessible to get in the know, jump on board and become a sailing man. You really did a great job here and I really appreciate your efforts.

Welcome aboard matey, and thank you!

Welcome to the crew new friends!

Does every OTHER ship in your fleet also consider the island as being previously explored, or just “Ship A” that actually explored it?

Explored island tokens/rule applies to all ships in your fleet.
