On page 49, there is a section labeled “CREW ADVANCEMENT” that apparently takes place during each Downtime. At the end of this section is this subheading and text:
PROFITS
Every time the crew advances, each PC gets stash equal to the crew Tier +2, to represent profits generated by the crew as they’ve been operating.
My question is this: what does “the crew advances” mean? Does it mean every trip through the “CREW ADVANCEMENT” section (i.e. every Downtime), or does it mean every time the crew fills up their tracker and buys a new ability or pair of upgrades?
I think it’s every time they fill the crew XP track, wherein they earn an “advancement” which can be used to give the crew some of the special abilities from crew creation. Not looking at the book at the moment, so I may be wrong.
Your Crew advances when you fill the Crew XP track, and not before. When that track is filled, you Advance, and that triggers Profits.
Like those two up there said. 🙂
Thanks! 🙂
