Okay, I like a heist.
My issue is with the chase scene (option one).
Maybe I just don't understand chases in SFS (no surprise there).
However...
Active hazards - where does it provide what those active hazards are? Do I use the snipers from wave 1 in option 2?
What about the armed security forces in the boarding platform? The robots from wave two in opton 2?
How about the new tricks available boarding platform and grad vestibule? Are they alternative options available to the pilot in the piloting phase? But if so.. well, the pilot phase is likely to have happened in a previous chase zone.
How about those hover cycles that join the chase on the boarding platform? There is a +2 pilot modifier provided, but no skills for the riders. Do I just run with them at +2? But the zone they start in has a -2 modifier due to barricades, so they would start with +0, and thus not likely to even make a "keep pace" check.
Help!

Okay. Deep breath. It's campaign mode. You can make this your own.
I think that it is fine (and probably intended) to use the snipers and robots from the fight option, but none of the security personnel (including the nuars) has piloting. Feel free to give them the skill if you think that would make for a better story.
Remember that pilots can progress even if they do tricks.

Yeah, this comes down to me not prepping quite enough for this. Guess I should have encouraged them to use a different escape method. But I feel the questions are generally enough that others running it are likely to run into the same issues.
For point of reference, I have been using the wave 1 snipers (who do a *lot* of damage when a hovercar gets stuck in the carriage from some poor dice rolling) and wave 2 robots as the active hazards.
I've also gone with the cycle riders not having any piloting skill, just the bikes bonus. Looking toward one of those "No police/security can outdrive the heroes." scenes.
