Vintaak Disappearance Site Vintaak Drydock Station Observe Spatial Coordinates Examine Disappearance Site

So, specifically, when the time location flips over...
[1] does the space location flip also?
[2] Do I have to seed both the Mirror and Non-Mirror locations?
[3] If I only have to seed the Mirror OR non-Mirror location and it does "flip" to the non-mirror location, where does that go?

I'm dabbling with a mirror deck and I want to use the Defiant, but I am really confused as to what flips to what and where.

Thanks!

Thanks for asking.

At the very minimum, you must seed Vintaak Drydock Station and its corresponding mission, Observe Spatial Coordinates. The rules require you to seed the corresponding mission of a time location to use the time location, so these two are mandatory.

Because there is no way to start with Vintaak Disappearance Site, you do not have to seed Examine Disappearance Site. If you don't, then when Vintaak Disappearance Site is "face up," you won't be able to interact with the spaceline. You can't time travel, because there's no corresponding mission.

I hope this helps.

Appreciate the quick response. I think I get it. But, just for clarity...

When the non-mirror is up, I can still enter the location (space location), and even attempt the mission, but I can't interact with the time-location? And, the Defiant would also disappear, too?

[MidnightLich]

Correct.

The spaceline locations are always there, no matter which side of the Time Location is active. All normal rules for missions apply, and anything at the space location is there no matter what.

The time location is all that changes, and when it flips, everything there goes to the other side too. So the Defiant, any crew aboard, any other ships there, phase back and forth between the quadrants/times.

But that is 1. Edition and there are ways to cheat. You can still use Wormholes to timetravel to or from your Vintaak Disappearance that has no corresponding Mission.

Orb of Time can also let you time travel without the corresponding spaceline location.

Can the Guardian of Forever also be used, then?

[KazonPADD]

On turns 2, 4, 6, etc, it can be used to access the AQ time location. Of course Starship Defiant can’t be brought back the same way mind, only the personnel.

Of course... I somehow overlooked the Guardian's Alpha Quadrant part. The drydock is in the Mirror Quadrant .
