Are we going to add objective xp to rules?

[Ad Hoc]

Does the Lucky SPA apply to the to hit rolls of weapons and physical attacks, damage hit location rolls, and crit chance rolls?

Remind me what objective XP were supposed to be, please.

Lucky applies to any dice roll - during a combat encounter - on which you could use Edge.

You gave XP to those who extracted from the breakthrough 2 games ago, I was thinking just part of the primary objective, so for this next game, it would be to a) scan the corner and b) return to starting corner with information sort of thing. Any primary objective outside of kills sort of thing.

For AMS, can you have more than 1 in the same arc?  If so, what is the effect beyond running through your ammo faster?

[deadlyfire2345]

Only one AMS can engage each attack, regardless of how many
AMS cover the attack direction. If a ’Mech mounts more than one
AMS that covers the same attack direction, the defender chooses the
order in which they activate and against which (if any) missile attack
each inflicts their modifiers.

Yes.

You can engage multiple volleys that way, so if you have two AMS, you can engage two volleys with the -4 to cluster roll.

We can use TAG systems right? I was wondering since it is not on the tech table in rules.

It *should* be around at this point, if somewhat uncommon depending on the era,  (Pending GM decision) but right now we have nothing that uses it.

Huh, good catch.  It's not on the table.

As per TechManual p238, it was recovered by the Suns in 3033, and the Capellans had it by the mid-3040s so they could use it with Arrow IVs.  Based on that, I'd say it's completely available to the entire Inner Sphere by 3050, and honestly to pretty much everyone by 3052 at the latest.

Ok, probably more of a question for XOTL, but I don’t have access, why doesn’t the Black Knight have the quirk Improved Communications?  The entire first paragraph of fluff goes on and on about how good the unit’s communication equipment is including linking with satellites.  Anyone know?

Odd thing to remove, but with the new rule books, I have been finding some odd continuity between old and new, along with new and new.
Example: when I saw the Snub Nose PPC had the date changed from 3067 to 3037 between the old and new TM (in description)
Another one I recently saw was TAG ranges: in BMM p.123, it has the ranges at 5/10/15 (as opposed to the original 5/9/15), but the new TM has the ranges at the original 5/9/14.
Definitely something to look into. Definitely something going on in quality control.
With regard to quirks, we could still play like we have been with flashlight (fluff, quirk, art).

I also may just be nitpicking, but the fact that different books have different info does get confusing quick.

I remember Rob mentioning there were some Quirk corrections coming such as putting the Command Mech designation back on the PHawk.  Not sure if this is one of them. I worry a bit less about raw sources as we’re using a defined set of rules. Just something I saw that looked odd and thought I’d mention.

I'd argue it doesn't go "on and on", since the vast majority of the paragraph is talking about it's BAP system.  However, generally orbital commlinks *do* warrant Improved Comms; the primary example being the Atlas, which has the Quirk. I'll ask.

Agreed that on and on was an overstatement.  Any update?
