For the combat event; in terms of committed force powers:

We can't stand with a committed force power unless we take the -2 strain per the houserules? I figured maybe since we're obviously going into combat it might be possible to activate it just prior to combat as a reaction to what's happening, but it's good either way just wanting to be sure.

I forget how we ruled combat events can we aim to gain benefits that require such a thing?

In past games we've not been allowed to benefit from Aiming or bonuses from weapons themselves in structured Events.

When searching for large metal things (Like caches of supplies), are there any vehicle sensors or handheld equipment that would aid in that task?

If someone were to rent an airspeeder to investigate rumors of such a thing...

In the day two Main Event (Mercy): If you roll a non-combat skill in part three can you still get light points? Or do you need to roll a combat skill to get light points? I wasn't sure :)

Does not need to be.
Am I reading correctly that the Light in the Darkness only gives Light points if you get a Triumph, and otherwise sets up for The Anzuri Endure (which gives you a Light Point on success)?

Just need to succeed on the skill check to get Light points. Man I must have screwed up hard.

The wording of step 2 sort of ties the light point to the force power.

Might want to just move that reward note to the end of the paragraph?

Also! Are either of the non-fear rolls the sort of thing where "right tools" might give a boost?

Calendar of Live Music

Day 2 - Utini Kids (Jawa Electro Synth Band)

Day 4 - Monkey-Lizard Blues (Local Chill-hop Band)

Day 7 - DJ Whizz (Psychodelic Synth)

Day 9 - Monkey-Lizard Blues (Local Chill-hop Band)

Live Music is in the LE slot on those days.
Should those coming for the band have a separate thread from the Money Shot one then?

Also, a lotta combat chatter so just leaving this here for later.

I would check equipment lists but sensors on a ship could do it.

Would a rental airspeeder (like a T-16 from back home) be able?

No, you need ship sensors like a starship or large transport. Your rental has lights and a basic computer.

Ok, so I'll either need some sort of handheld equipment of greater quality - or to come back later with a ship.

Got it!

Would offical bounty business count as authorization to enter the industrial area? And if not how would one acquire authorization?
