Whitestars & flight computers

[Target]

Just wondering when a Whitestar goes skeleton crewed, they lose the +1 ISA bonus for CQ cause they are using the flight computer?

 

[Commador Q]

as far as i know the Flight computer always counts as a CQ of 4

so if you are skeletin crewed you can choose to take the skeletin crew restrictions and keep your CQ 5 (for things like the opposed CQ check when an opponent attempts Manuver to shield them) or act as if you weren't skeletin crewed and take the CQ 4

except all CQ checks when skeletoned are at -2.
yes any ship with a flight comp counts as crew 4 when skeletoned.

No. They aren't. Damage control checks are at -2.

lol ok yep you right, -2 dam con and no SAs. altho for dam con with a flight comp and self repair you get the equivalent of CQ5 anyway

So ISA don't get +1 to their CQ when using the flight computer.

Hey, hang on a second.....

I thought the point of a flight computer, was to do the flying while the crew concentrated on doing the SA's. Therefore the flying would be done at CQ 4, but the SA's would still be done by the remaining crew, hence CQ 5.

uh oh, I sense a chance for some clarification in second ed

Hrmm....

thats funny. I always thought the "flight computer" just gives you a minimum CQ of 4, whatever you want to use it for. Thats from my 40k background, names dont have to make sense there, and from the rise of A-F beams on aft arcs ^^.

Now might want to be clarified it it truly is a FLIGHT computer or rather some fancy flight computer
