1 Does it matter for Kath Scarlets ability how the crit is cancled shiekd evade ect.

2 For Recon Specialest it has to be an action you take not one pased to you right

It doesn't matter how the crit is cancelled, as long as the target is what is actually canceling it. If a game effect, such as the attack being an ion cannon, cancels the kaboom result then it doesn't trigger. Also, shields do not cancel die results, they absorb damage. Things with little wavey line icons and things that specifically say they do, cancel attack die results.

Recon specialist triggers on the ship it is on performing the focus action. Tokens are not actions. If an effect passes the ship a focus token, RS will not trigger, if an effect allows the ship to perform a free focus action (and the ship does so) then RS will trigger.

All Forgottenlore said.

1. Cancelled yes but there are other things that negate them which would not trigger it like that Shield Token.

2. The ship with the Recon Specialist must perform the Focus action to get the extra Focus token. Keep in mind that a ship can only use a given action once per round.

Ok thanks guys

You probably should have written... '"perform" a given action once...etc.'; so as to not confuse the natives.

Or I could just change the first "perform" to "use" to make sure the same term was used in both sentences. I guess I don't think about "performing" actions but rather "using" actions.
