Hi, I've got a few questions.

  • The "Enemy Type" for encounters includes results of "Mutants". I couldn't really find an explanation for these, since there is no enemy table for mutants. Is that supposed to be a faction encounter with the Mutant Alliance, and can only happen if that has gotten onto the map?
  • How does Contract generation work, should I roll once on the table and take the size, distance, target, and reward from that? But why would the "cargo size" then be a parameter for the reward. Or should I roll for each part separately? I also assume that when I take a contract I directly "get the cargo", and it counts against my cargo limit? When I roll up the contract, do I have to take it? And need to "discard" any that I can't/don't want, for the -1 reputation cost, "Contracts may be discarded at the cost of -1 Reputation with the Faction
    that gave it." ? Or can I roll up contracts and choose, and only if I want to discard some later I loose reputation?

Hey! Answers for you:

  1. Mutants are the base Mutant Alliance enemy for the faction. X would be 0 for the modifier.
  2. Roll for each column in Contract generation following the steps listed (Start Location [your current space], Size, Distance, Faction Target, Reward). I used cargo size (total cargo for the delivery) as the base reward value as more cargo to deliver gives more rewards, plus travelling further, etc. When you generate a contract it doesn't automatically get added to your current cargo or contracts, you choose if you want to take it at that time. That's why the Contract Table has so much info, you pick and choose if you want to take the contract right then and there. Contracts can be discarded to make room for more.

So, say you generate a contract with 5 cargo. The target is waaaaay on the other side of the map. You decide you cannot do it but you have no contract slots left on your Contract Table. You discard it, remove it from the table, and lose 1 reputation with the faction that gave it (the faction which space you were on when you generated it). 

Hope that helps!
