With the new FAQ on Autoblaster, I think that if you have a Evade on your ship you still get to spend that token.

Any takers to that point of view, or are the general opinnion that it now is impossible to defend aginst Autoblaster....

EDIT- - 16 Oct -

I would spend the evade to cancel one crit or hit.

The Autoblaster Card states, "Your hits cannot be cancled by defence dice. The defender may cancel cirt results before hit results."

The FAQ just states in my opinion "that you do not recive any added bonus Evades".

So as i see it, if you have taken an evade action and have gained one evade token, the lader part of the Autoblaster caet alloves you to cancel one result...

You can still spend the token.

But you cannot use the [evade] result generated by spending the token to cancel any [hit] results.

Dice Results
Results that are added are treated as dice results that can only be canceled
(they cannot be modified or rerolled). For example, when attacking with
“Autoblaster” a [evade] result added by an evade token cannot cancel a [hit] result.

I don't see any room for interpretation here.

Right, it specifically mentions that an evade token won't work against a hit result from autoblaster. Sure you can spend it but why would you?

From the FAQ:

"Spending Tokens

When attacking, players may spend focus tokens or target locks and elect not

to modify any attack dice. When defending, players may spend focus tokens

and elect not modify any defense dice and may spend evade tokens to add

evade results in excess of the number of hit and critical hit results."

I'm not sure "why" someone would do it with our current set of skills / upgrade, but there could always be a pilot like Garven when, if he spends an evade token, he could pass it on to someone else. The skill might just not exist yet

I would spend the evade to cancel one crit or hit.

The FAQ states

I would spend the evade to cancel one crit or hit.

You can still cancel crits with your defense dice... If someone uses autoblaster and rolls 2 crits and a hit you can still roll your defense dice and cancel the crits with dice/evade tokens... You just can't cancel any hit results at all, period. (Currently).

The FAQ just states in my opinion "that you do not recive any added bonus Evades".

Well this is just plain wrong... Word of warning: never paraphrase the rules. They are very specific for a reason.

The FAQ just says that any ability that adds a "result" (Kir Kanos' ability adds a [hit] result, evade tokens and c-3PO add evade results, etc etc) those "results" are treated the same as if you rolled them on a die (except that they cannot be rerolled). So anything that refers to "die results" (such as autoblaster) also refer to those bonus results...

Thank you.

I missed the Dice Results edit. And I therefore used "The defender may cancel cirt results before hit results" for a wrong conclution.

I was i a mindset more like the one Cptnhalfbeard described.

"You can still cancel crits with your defense dice... If someone uses autoblaster and rolls 2 crits and a hit you can still roll your defense dice and cancel the crits with dice/evade tokens... You just can't cancel any hit results at all, period. (Currently). "

Basically, if you're using an Autoblaster and you roll hits, they stay, as dice, tokens or C-3PO can no longer cancel them.

Now if they could make an Autoblaster HLC that would be great.

(How much you wanna bet that one of the Scum IG-88's will be able to do that with his pilot ability)

Well, there is still that mystery Mang?? Cannon. Knowing the intimidating danger factor associated with IG-88, you know it's got to be something nasty.
