It's been ruled on, but the supporting documentation hasn't been done yet. I think we've seen a definitive response from the Rules Gang that this is going to be prohibited. There is not yet text in the PG to prevent it, so you can either play it as it reads or as we've been told it's intended to work. Locally we instituted a house rule to require the pilot to have started friendly to your force.

I got you, I must have accidentally skipped page 24 when reading through. Thank you for the help. We will be doing that at our venue also.

What's to prohibit you waste the free action to make someone a pilot ACTION OVER and control of that figure reverts back to the owner because ALL game effects end when a charactor leaves the map.

Does the mind controlled charactor leave the map? You bet he does.

I'm sorry, I don't know what you're trying to ask or what point you're trying to make here.

Let me jump in here:
In this case eventually means 'next available Player's Guide.' I am personally aiming for the May PG for this fix. We hope to be able to meet that mark but the backup will be the June PG.

It actually has been ruled on. The ruling, however, spawned another related discussion. I would like to have those discussions nailed down prior to releasing our wording. Parapharsing here: our fix is to say that a Pilot must begin the game on the same force as the vehicle he intends to pilot. To answer the next inevitable question: yes, we took sideline into consideration. :-)

Any action you give a character via Mind Control will end After Action. This includes Free actions such as Perplex, Outwit, or even becoming the Pilot as a Free Action.

Now, we have been told that Becoming a Pilot will be changed to state that the character must begin on your your team.

Rpgambit is correct. However, the basic idea we are going with is that if a character who is assigned a resource takes an action that would normally require a resource roll ,that roll MUST be made. EX: Batman wearing the UB is on UB click 4 and bases Catwoman. He concludes his action and must roll for the resource dial because he took an action that requires a roll. Same dynamic for becoming a pilot after taking an action but before the end of the turn.

Did that help?

...Why did you reply to this 16 months later just for that?

Theres powerful threadomancy at work here....
