BEAMING/AWAY TEAMS

Q: AWAY TEAMS
Q: BEAMING
Q: OUTPOSTS
Q: SPECIAL BEAMING CARDS



Q: AWAY TEAMS --

  1. When is my Away Team "stopped"?
  2. When my Away Team is stopped, can a new away team be formed and beamed down to continue?
  3. If you beam an away team to a mission from two separate ships, do they come together as one away team?
  4. I go for a mission with different ships. I beam down personnel from the different ships to form an away team. I encounter a dilemma that does something to my "ship". Which ship is affected? All?
  5. Can an Away Team beam down to a planet if their Affiliation cannot complete the mission there? (To attack another Away Team, for example.)

A:

  1. See the definition of "Stopped," above and "Dilemmas," below.
  2. Yes, as long as it is made up of Personnel who aren't already "stopped" for that turn. For example, if your initial Away Team hits a Sarjenka dilemma and is stopped, you might bring up another ship, beam down another Away Team, and try the mission with them.
  3. Yes. If you beam them both down it is assumed they are intended to be there together. If you want to operate them separately, first beam down one, try the mission (or battle, etc.), and if they get stopped then beam down another team, etc. The only exception is the case when one player beams down Away Teams from different affiliations and no treaty is in effect that allows them to be intermixed. In that case they are separate Away Teams in the same place.
  4. If personnel were beamed down from multiple ships, then any dilemmas they encounter that affect the ship would affect all ships they beamed from.
  5. Yes. You only need the proper affiliation to attempt the mission. Anyone can beam down to a planet, even if their affiliation doesn't match that of the mission.



Q: BEAMING --
  1. You have non-aligned personnel aboard a Federation ship. Can you beam these personnel aboard your Klingon ship,without a treaty?
  2. If my ship is about to be destroyed, can I save the crew, such as by beaming them down to a planet?
  3. Is it possible to beam down your entire ship's crew to attempt a planet mission, or does someone need to remain aboard to beam the away team back?
  4. The mission "Quash Conspiracy" says "No ship-to-ship bemaing here." What does this mean?
  5. Can I beam using special cards such as Emergency Transporter Armbands or Near-Warp Transport even if beaming would not normally be allowed (ie, the "beamees" are "stopped", a Distortion Field is in effect, or someone is affected by Barclay's Transporter Phobia)?

A:

  1. Yes. The rules say, (page 21) "The ships must share the same mission location and be owned by the same player." No distinction was made for non-aligneds between ships of different affiliations.
  2. Yes, if your ship is going to be destroyed, you can try to save the crew by beaming them down to a planet first, where they will be stranded but can be picked up later. (They would be vulnerable to attack there from enemy Away Teams). Note that you can't do this is in the middle of a ship-to-ship battle because that is an action (see Definitions, above). Emergency Transporter Armbands would allow such a means of escape even during a battle, because the card specifies that it may do so. Note that a crew can also escape by using an Escape Pod card.
  3. You can beam down the entire crew. It is assumed that there are certain "invisible crew" who perform mundane functions like beaming. After all, you don't really think that three people can fly the Enterprise, do you?
  4. See "Missons," below.
  5. No. These cards are a form of beaming and do not allow you to overcome any normal obstacles to beaming.



Q: OUTPOSTS -- Is moving between an outpost and a ship considered "beaming"?

A: No. See "Outposts," below.


Q: SPECIAL BEAMING CARDS -- Are cards like Emergency Transporter Armbands and Near-Warp Transport considered "beaming"?

A: Yes. So, for instance, if you had personnel who were "stopped," you could not beam them up with E.T. Armbands, because that is a form of beaming, and stopped personnel may not beam.
