Just been trygin to wrap my head aroudn the Flyers/Hover/fast Skimmer movement.

movement = 6"-12"
the variances appear to eb in the Flat out stage now...

Vehicles & Skimmers can Flat out 6"
Fast can Flat out 12"
Fast Skimmers can Flat out 18"


Does thsi mean a Fast Skimmer can move 1" and then Flat out another 18"...total movement = 30"

So a Valk/Storm Raven etc can either Zoom and go 18-36, or "Hover" (and become aFast Skimmer) and still move 30". At that point it doesn't not need to Evade and can just take it's Jink save and retain firing and movement.......all for the loss of 6" movement.



Am I reading it right?

Uh , yes, it seems so. EDIT: You can't flat out and fire any weapons, not even snap fires.

Yes. Fast skimmers are 6" faster than before, same as every other speed class....

Except, it doesn't retain movement, because you can only move 12 inches and still fire weapons, and while you get the jink save, you are also much easier to shoot because things aren't forced to snap fire at your flyer.

ok, gotcha. Looks like you need to just between a couple of different pages to get the full story.
