Change campaign rules
The GM opens Campaign > Campaign setup and changes the campaign profile and/or Combat rules. Close active contracts and complete scheduled missions first. Every living pilot needs a verified personal opening account; a missing one produces a saved-pilot correction link. After correction, the page returns to the original campaign form and restores its unsaved settings for review.
The rules change transfers every skill and ability investment back to that pilot unallocated SP, including SPAs, SCAs, Edge abilities and Edge points. Derived skills return to destination baseline, learned abilities are cleared, and the player reallocates the same total using the destination categories. No new 150 SP grant, replacement-cost repricing or reserve refund occurs.
Named pilots and reserves
When the destination is Draconis Reach, confirm up to four living named pilots through Named-pilot selection and conversion. Selection does not issue deposits or reset a second time. Other pilots keep their full personal credit while inactive as reserves; it is not paid to the company.
Open each named pilot account and finish the rules rebuild by investing its returned SP. Hinterlands pilots rebuild through the same account using Hinterlands categories and no Edge. A zero-credit pilot needs no investment. Empty unlocked Edge slots are permitted. Account-backed pilots cannot bypass investments by editing skill levels directly.
Preserved history
The personal total and transaction journal survive every rules change. Previous source pools and builds remain as retained evidence; they are not additional live balances. Injuries, commander appointments and unit assignments remain. SCAs are cleared with other learned abilities, superseding the earlier preserve-SCA conversion policy. Dead pilots and locked/completed mission snapshots remain historical.
Database updates open accounts from verified old source totals without rewriting company ledger history. Unclassified legacy spending can be returned by a rules reset without guessing its old categories. Repeating a reset identity cannot clear a rebuilt pilot or replay credit. New rules categories belong in the rules adapter; the account conservation and transaction logic stays the same.
