[Capt Hark cannot pivot?]

Swivel Wing allows the pivot after executing a stop. Hark does not execute stops, he sideslips. So no pivot?

Makes sense, but I wanted to check, because it kinda seems worse.

This sounds like you are introducing some external definitions. 

Well, my external definitions come from how the words are used when they're not being employed as game terms, lol.

But yes, I understand the complication that kind of thing can bring. Simple is better.

Thanks for your time.

[Contesting/Securing]

Thanks for clearing it up. 

I was surprised I couldn't find anything else on this question, since by securing an objective, the contest for it becomes resolved. So, by definition, a secured objective is no longer being contested. At least until a new, contesting factor is introduced.

So I presume the contesting factor is merely a new round. Clean Up is a hiatus, during which hostilities pause and things may be briefly treated as safe :)

[Contesting/Securing]

Can you be R1 of an objective marker, a target of opportunity, and not be contesting it?

In other words, if only 1 character is within R1 of the marker does it count as contesting, as well as securing?

Can a ship equipped with both of the above, drop, boost, drop again?

Or does the full drop need to complete before the boost can be executed?

Because I have Sol Sixxa here waiting for jank o'clock.
