There is Droid shenanigans in your future! ( now to talk P-47 into allowing droids giving Boosts/Advantages when used to help craft things!)

I'm going to regret telling you this, but there is the Unskilled Assist Maneuver which adds a Boost, and the Improved Speaks Binary talent adds an additional Boost.

What do you want to spend the 4 Advantage on?

Had to give that some thought.. I think I'll go with Armor Plating and Reinforced Chassis. (3A/1A) 

[P-47 Thunderbolt 4,177]

Okay. That'll stat him at 3 Soak and a WT of 6. Sil 0. Which Characteristic do you want to reduce? He's got flat 2s except in Br/Ag.

What Directive do you want to try to use?

[ShockHelix 323]

I believe that’s technically possible by the way, per RAW. 

Yeah. Repair Directives with a specialist chassis gives it a mechanics skill of two, which I believe qualifies it as capable of assisting with crafting checks (assuming you build it for the correct mechanics skill.)

Repair Directives: : 3eP+3eD 4 successes, 1 Triumph

huh.. 

[RuusMarev 2,697]

I think I'll use the Triumph on putting Computers to rank 2. 

[RuusMarev 2,697]

I'm going to name the Minion model a "VT-0" and the Specialist model "VT-1" (Vutyc Tomad / Special Ally) 

[P-47 Thunderbolt 4,177]

You used the base WT/Soak stats for VT-1, his Soak should be 3 and his WT should be 6. You also need to pick a Characteristic to reduce.

Fixed

How many Mono's are needed to be a Minion Group?

[P-47 Thunderbolt 4,177]

Any number over one. If you get 3 total, they'd have a dice pool of 1P+1eA, so you probably would want to go for 4 total.

I'll let you program/build them as a group, so you just need to have the additional expenditure of credits and then make a check to program them.

[RuusMarev 2,697]

So, build three other mono's and one program check? 

[P-47 Thunderbolt 4,177]

Actually, yes. My original intention was for you to gloss over the building since any improvements on the droids would be hard to handle, but as long as you only spend the Advantage/Triumph on bonuses for future checks (schematic, Lessons Learned, etc) it should be fine. Then one programming check.

[RuusMarev 2,697]

ok! 

Buliding VT-0/2: : 3eP+2eD 1 success

VT-0/3: : 3eP+2eD 3 successes, 2 advantage

(Lessons Learned) VT-0/4 : : 3eP+1eD 0 successes, 1 advantage
 

 

sigh...

2nd Attempt on VT-0/4 (Practice Makes Perfect) : : 3eP+1eB+2eD 3 successes, 1 threat

And Tam gets 3 strain before the game begins...

[P-47 Thunderbolt 4,177]

You can go ahead and call the Strain a wash.

What do program do you want to use?

[RuusMarev 2,697]

I'm kinda thinking Labor Directives.. that'll give them 2 ranks in mechanics.. which will help with the assembly of the new ship/repair vehicles/help other PC crafting.. correct?

(Would Repair Directive be too much?)

[P-47 Thunderbolt 4,177]

Yes, but it gives it to them as a group skill, not a ranked skill.

Either Labor Directives or Repair Directives would be fine. If you go for Labor Directives, you have more Advantage potential.

[RuusMarev 2,697]

alright... Labor Directive programming: : 3eP+1eD 1 success, 4 advantage

[P-47 Thunderbolt 4,177]

That's a really good roll for crafting!

[RuusMarev 2,697]

shame Adaptive Programming doesn't apply...

[P-47 Thunderbolt 4,177]

Well, Broad Utility does. You could pick up Computers.

[RuusMarev 2,697]

2 Mechanics & 2 Computers?

That works, it'll help everyone's crafting/programming.

[P-47 Thunderbolt 4,177]

It would actually be 3 with all 4 working as a group.

3 mechanics/3 computers? niiice... (you'll have to tell me the pool when we start, so I can learn about minion group interaction  )

[P-47 Thunderbolt 4,177]

Minions gain ranks in their skills equal to the number of minions past the first. If you've got 4 minions, they get 3 ranks, 2 get 1 rank, etc. They use the characteristic linked to the skill as usual.
