Reposting my question re ecm dronemovement.
Seeking weapon HETS

Situation: A Ship is facing B has a speed 32 ECM drone and starts the turn at 0.
It does two tac TACs to facing D.
The ships will be accelerating to speed 10 later in the turn.
Since the ship will have to go forward, he has the ECM drone HET to facing D in impulse 8 to align with the ship. The ship then accelerate to speed 10 in impulse 10 and moves a hex.

Rules
(F2.136) A seeking weapon could make an HET on an impulse when it is not scheduled to move; the weapon would then skip its next scheduled movement.

(FD9.182) HET: If the protected unit executes an HET, the ECM drone can do so as well, but this costs it the equivalent of a hex of speed, and unless the ship is moving at least one hex per turn slower than the maximum rated speed of the ECM drone, the drone will not be able to move on the next impulse the ship moves. If an ECM drone is moving less than its maximum speed, and performs an HET on an impulse it was not scheduled to move, it will not lose its next movement. The drone can only perform one HET in any 32-impulse period (F2.13), and if the target unit executes a second HET, the drone will not be able to follow it and will be forced to execute a normal turn to try to catch up.

The shipped did not technically HET; does FD9.182 still apply as the ECM drone did a HET in a prior impulse to its scheduled move and is moving to keep station with the ship in impulse 10 (its next scheduled move with the speed change).
When the ship moves on impulse 10, does the ecm drone keep station in impulse 10 per the later half of FD9.182 or does it not move as this is the first scheduled move per F2.136,

Thanks.

Cheers
Frank

My apologies for not answering sooner, but between my own illness of late and problems around the office I have not had a chance to even look at your question. I have downloaded it and will try to have an answer up soon,

Frank Lemay asked: Situation: A Ship is facing B has a Speed 32 ECM drone and starts the turn at Speed 0.
It does two tac TACs to facing D.
The ship will be accelerating to Speed 10 later in the turn.
Since the ship will have to go forward, he has the ECM drone HET to facing D in Impulse #8 to align with the ship. The ship then accelerates to Speed 10 in Impulse #10 and moves a hex.

ANSWER: While not specifically stated in the rules, a ship moving Speed 0 with an ECM drone lending it ECM in its hex will also have the drone moving Speed 0, and if the ship performs a TAC, whether from warp energy or impulse energy, on any given impulse to change its facing, the drone will also change its facing on the impulse to stay with the ship. This is not a HET, but if the ship were to perform a HET and accelerate to leave the hex, the drone could only maintain facing if. It also did a HET. This would only be a problem if the ship left the hex on the same impulse it used the HET, or if the drone was slow speed and the ship accelerated faster than the drone could HET and move after it (F2.136). The drone always moves AFTER its target, and so could Not anticipate the ship’s HET, but could react to it.

SPP,
Thanks and hope you're feeling better.

That is how we played it !

A P/F flotilla starts the turn on a Ground P/F base (GPF). They plot power to take off from their landing pad. P2.4121 (Take off Procedures) states the flotilla will not leave the planet until impulse #32. Can the flotilla fire their weapons as a landed ship per P2.53 (Firing from a planet) before impulse 32?

Thanks
