If an ion cannonhits the target with shields does it receive an ion token?

In general, do shields prevent a ship from being ionized?

Example: gold squadron pilot hits with his turret tie advanced. Tie adv has 2 shields. After successful rebel attack it looses 1 shield. But since it haven't taken any hull damage, is it ionized?

Yes.

No.

If there is an uncancelled hit/crit result the target takes damage and receives a ion token. Shields effect the damage but not the ion token.

You answered yourself in the very first sentence. "If an ion cannon hits the target..."

It doesn't matter if the target has shields or not. All you need to do is get a {hit} or {crit} that cannot be cancelled.

Yea. Thank you. I misread the turret's card. I read "damage" instead of "hit". Should be more attentive)
