Hello,

The card said :

While you have a [cannon] Upgrade card equipped, you cannot perform primary weapon attacks and you may perform [cannon] secondary weapon attacks against ships outside your firing arc.

The last part of the card seems to me very important : ... against ships outside your firing arc.

So what does that means ? You cannot attack ships in your firing arc (the front triangle arc) ?

The new FAQ specifies :

When attacking with a turret primary weapon, a ship may target an enemy ship inside or outside its firing arc. When attacking with a secondary weapon, the ship must still target a ship inside its firing arc (unless specified otherwise on the Upgrade card).

So my understanding of the card is that you can use a cannon to attack ships outside your firing arc (outside the front triangle arc) and your primary weapon that becomes a basic weapons to attack ship in front of you.

Consequently card like gunners can style be used with the YT-2400 using the Outrider title card.

What do you think ?

Someone took a bite out of the doughnut?

The rules already specify that you can target ships inside your primary firing arc, so the Outrider title is simply giving you the additional option (may) of performing cannon attacks outside your primary arc. The " you cannot perform primary weapon attacks " is quite final and not tied to anything following the "and".

Nope, the primary is completely turned off. So, no Gunner.

Yeah, the words Cannot perform a primary weapon attack is pretty final.

You can still shoot the cannon infront of you because it's your normal targeting arc. You also can't use gunner because you don't have a primary weapon.

The word "may" is also important. It doesn't say you "may ONLY" target ships outside your firing arc. It's the same wording though as all other turret upgrades, though, so I don't see why there is any confusion.

Please wait until relase, greettings.

You keep asking that, but for many people much of the fun of waiting for new releases is discussing, speculating and wondering about new cards.

It also serves a useful purpose I hope, because if things do need to be FAQed, it is good for the community to make FFG aware of the issues as soon as possible, so that hopefully the release of a FAQ clarifying problem issues can come out as quickly as possible.
