Subject: [FT] Sa'Vasku Reabsorbtion

A quick question about reabsorbtion of drones: Where does the extra biomass
get added?

It can have very different effects on Threshold rolls depending on where they
are placed.

Take a damaged Var'Sa'Rosh: xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxx00 00000 00000 00000 00000
000xx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx
        0 = Unused biomass  x = used/damaged biomass
spaces added for grouping The following exaples show it absorbing 5 pods:

Example 1: Add absorbed biomass starting at 1st undamaged biomass. xxxxx xxxxx
xxx00 00000 00000 00000 00000 00000 000xx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx

Example 2: Add at beginning. 00000 xxxxx xxxxx xxx00 00000 00000 00000 00000
000xx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx

Example 3: Add to end. xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxx00 00000 00000 00000 00000 000xx
xxxxx xxxxx 00000

Example 4: Add after last undamaged biomass: xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxx00 00000
00000 00000 00000 00000 000xx xxxxx xxxxx

Damage to Threshold Example: 1st 2nd 3rd 4th Row (death)
 1         2    17   30    -
 2         5    17   30    -
 3         -    12   25   30
 4         -    12   27   30

My first thought was to add it as Example 1, but then realized that this
could mean re-taking a threshold check.

Most likely option 4 would be my choice.

Comments appreciated.

How about where the player prefers? Does it say 'all in one place'?

Example 5: Where the bug, er, wants it...

xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx FFF00 00000 00000 00000 00000 000FF xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx
     0 = Unused biomass  x = used/damaged biomass
spaces added for grouping F = fix

These 'fills' do the best job of forestalling threshold checks in the future.

Powerful advantage to the Sa'vasku, but you attempt damage repair where you
want in the other races.

Please note, this is definitely shooting from the hip. I've not fully
'absorbed' the Sa'vasku's new descriptions.

I think this is the correct result.

It is added in exactly the opposite way from which it was detracted. This is
implied, though not quite explicitly stated on FB2 pp 23, "Recovery is the
reverse..."

So... a Younger Broodship with "damage:"
