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.

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.
