adv sensors and being ioned

By Karnage1992, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Just a quick question as this situation came up at the Imdaar tournament i attended. In the last round of swiss I managed to ion my opponents shuttle which had advanced sensors on it. The quetion arose wether or not he could use the sensors since he was ioned and unable to set a dial. It came into question as if he couldnt use sensors he would lose his action thanks to bumping into one of my ships. I was only playing there for fun so i said the the white 1 manouver is what you revealed allowing him to use sensors to focus. The TO agreed and we finished the game with only 3pts difference in his favour. Would that be how the community herewould rule it? Thanks guys.

Can't quote it at the moment, but it is directly in the FAQ - no dial, no abilities which trigger from the dial, including Advanced Sensors.

I'm agreeing with Buhallin on this one. FAQ, page 8

Actually good to know. Was wondering this the other day

So ioned, no advanced sensors

When you are ionized, you are not going to be revealing your dial. Therefore, effects that mention that do not trigger. These include:

Advanced Sensors
Seismic Charges / Proton Bomb deployment

Navigator

And possibly more

And possibly more

Cloak tokens. The Phantom will still have its 4 agility dice, of course, but it won't be going anywhere.
