About Data Chips, Rep, Operations, Jump Lanes

in D100 SPACE

Hello, again. :)

I have a few new questions, regarding data chips at Uranographers, operations, jump lanes and the captain's reputation.

If a data chip is found during a Port Phase and we already have an operation generated somewhere in a star system not yet generated, can we choose that star system for the navigational info on the data chip, or do we have to roll for a random hex for every data chip and hope we eventually roll to fully generate the blank star system where the operation is? It might take a while... or forever 😀, and the operation would probably expire.
When rolling for operations at Military Bases, can we roll up to Rep value operations per system (i.e. rep 4= four possible operations in one system), or is every new operation roll for a different random hex in the sector?
If a new Jump Lane in a border star system goes off the hex map, do we automatically upgrade it to a Deep Space Jump Lane or do we just leave it incomplete and only upgrade it once we find a data chip at Uranographers?

Thanks!

Hi Mihail,

Here are the answers and sorry for taking so long to reply:

As per the rules, you have to roll. However, as the star systems fill up the sector, it will not take as long, as you re-roll the star systems that have already been generated.
Each visit to a military dock is a maximum number of check rolls up to the Rep value and can be for the same hex. So, you can choose 1 star system and make four rolls for an operation there, if your rep is 4.
You leave it incomplete and can upgrade it with a Deep Space Hyper Jump Data Chip.

Good luck in the darkness of space!

Hi, Martin. Thank you for your reply and for clarifying these aspects. Reaching operations does indeed become easier once more star systems are generated via Data Chips, so we have to rely on mining/collecting chemicals, maybe some smuggling and possibly a lucky capture of an enemy ship for the large influx of credits needed for mapping the sector, while [very expensively] boosting much needed characteristics like Intelligence via Training Droids (new XP rules and all).

Regarding my third question, the rule is clearly stated in the Galaxy Builder book, so I am sorry for asking a question that already had a clear answer.

I am off again to the darkness of space and hauling more cargo (having just recovered from just 1HP left after a very tense fight with malfunctioning Security Droids and their allies). Great game!
