Coordinate???

[Fuzzywookie 2,145]

Please help me refresh what this is.

Give another ship at range 1-2 a free action.

Essentially a generic squad leader type action previously only available to huge ships.

[Vineheart01 6,403]

key difference between coordinate and squad leader is squad leader has the PS restrictions, coordinate does not.

 

Squad Leader cant, for example, do the BB8 trick where you PTL off an action before you perform a green move, because anybody you dump the action on has already moved.

Coordinate, however, can. The PS2 basic upsilon pilot can give P11 Aces a free action to PTL off of before revealing a green move to destress and do another normal action.

The big problem with Squad Leader that is solved by Coordinate is that Squad Leader is generally going to end up on one of your most expensive ships that can make better use of its action than giving it to a lower PS ship and better use of its EPT than taking Squad Leader.

Need some clarification, if I check range to see if a ship can be coordinated with do I have to take that action like target locking?

[thespaceinvader 17,568]

Yes.  If it's in range, you have to perform the action.

Yes and no. You can measure which ships are in range, and then choose one.

I mean, it's not like TL, where you have to say the ship you are trying to lock first.

I think your post would be helpful if I understood your abbreviated acronyms... haha

Not really... this date from first edition and lots is changed in second edition... so this is old information that is not worth clarifying anymore

@muribundi is correct that the specific acronyms are meaningless for 2.0, along with Squad Leader being completely revamped.

@Kaz10 are you looking for clarification on 2.0 or 1.0 use of coordinate? I think it's probably worthwhile to create a new thread for 2.0 coordinate questions.

That's not how Locking works in 2.0. When you lock you measure first and then declare your target. 

1. Measure range from the locking ship to any number of objects.

2. Choose another object at range 0–3.

3. Assign a lock token to it with the number matching the ID marker of the locking ship.

This was a thread necro and that post was from May 2017, so at the time it was accurate
