Assault Missiles Question

By adman67, in X-Wing Rules Questions

I have a question about assault missiles.

The card reads that any other ship, including mine, that are within 1 of the target; after being hit, these ships suffer 1 damage. So, does that 1 damage translate into hull points or shields?

So, does that 1 damage translate into hull points or shields?

It follows the rules for suffering damage on page 16 of the rulebook. Shields come first.

Thanks! I just wanted to make sure before getting into the store championship games tomorrow. :)
