So I play Against the Bot, but this isn't specific to that. My question here is how do you play out either of these scenarios?
1. Your Merc company's dropship (possibly with escorting Aerofighters) is setting up a landing.
2. The contract has gone south and it's time to get out of Dodge - lifting off the surface and leaving the system.
I've read through the rules a few times, but I don't understand how long it should take for either of these movements to occur. Also, how much velocity should a Union or Overlord have when entering a, say 100x100 space map with the intent to land on a planet? I know it would have been braking for most of the trip at that point.
I know the question of the possibility of intercept is a thorny one - seen some long threads on that - so I want to ignore that for now. We'll just assume that a fight happens. So, how do you set one up?
