Hello
Back to playing Fighter Pilot, tabletop.social/@archiviste_Dragontigre/109557560129161728 because why not?
I have some issues with "Damage Points" as they are mentionned a few times, but not defined. This gives me trouble with Star Power and Heading Home
Whenever a Star takes damage or loses a point of Rep, it rolls its current Star Power d6. Read each d6 as rolled.
• Any result of 1, 2, or 3 reduces the damage by one point.

Star Power (p. 4)
• Any result of 1, 2, or 3 reduces the damage by one point.

Example – Capt. Pink (Rep 5) has his Rep reduced by 2 points from gunfire on the Fire Table. I roll 1d6 per point of the Star’s Rep. It’s 5d6 in this case, because the 2 points of damage haven’t been allocated yet.
(...)
Each 2 reduces the Rep loss by 1 point, so Billy goes back up to 5.
1. Rep is only reduced (if I haven't missed any rule) by 1 point, as a result on the Continue On table (p. 17) (after the Fire step)
(I'm not sure it is even possible to be shot by 2 different fighters as the same time and thus having to roll twice on the Continue On table)
2. "Damage" is always allocated, as it happens on the Fire table (p. 16)
Q: are Star Power d6 meant to be used to reduced any "Damage" (Rep, Hull, Firepower & Thrust) or only Rep?
If "only Rep" Star Power would only be used when instructed to return to Maneuver table, after a Pass 2d6 on the Continue On table?

"Damage Points" and Heading Home (p. 17)
If the Fighter has 2 or more Damage Points remaining
Q: what are those Damage Points? It would make sense that they are Hull Points, but one could interpret that as all remaining stuff not yet destroyed (points for Thrust, Firepower, and Hull). Another could even think they may be remaining Rep points, but since the effects are to the Fighter, not the Pilot it makes less sense.
(note: The Continue On table uses "Hull damage" and "Hull Points")
