Just wondering, if I lay prox mines, does it matter who rolls the dice?

Or

How does everyone else usually do it?

Let the defender roll, or offense player roll for the dmg?

Does it really matter...?

The owner of the ship that detonates the mines should roll.

It may matter in the future, if some ways of modifying those results are introduced.

That how we played it. Owner of the ship

As how it may matter, I feel like at times it may.

If my dice are hot and on a good rolling streak, and the other player isn't, then in that case it may matter.

Sure it's random, but i think we've all been there and have seen these good/bad streaks for ourselves.

Anyway had couple good games.

Wanted to test out prox mines with the updated new rules.

Won one, lose one.

Even if they don't hit, I find they do a good job making your opponent reconsider things like jousting and taking the long way around.

For 2-3 turns wedge and Cracken didn't shoot

You have perfectly described the Hot-hand fallacy.

It is closely related to the Gambler's fallacy.

It says right on the bomb reference card "the ship that overlaps the token rolls 3 attack dice".

Yep, it's the poor schmuck that triggered it that gets to roll. Always have your reference cards handy.

It's also a bit of a punishment for folks with weighted dice.

"Oh, you're always rolling crits? Roll crits on yourself, idiot."

That's karma for you.

I always have the opponent roll dice for bad things happening to my ships, hitting asteroids or mines. I just don't like to attack my own ships, if something bad is gonna happen to my ships, i prefer the opponent to roll it.

Now here is an interesting question but I don't think the ship owner would do such a thing. But lets just say if the owner of the ship had a focus token on it, could the ship spend the focus token and turn focus results against its own ship into hits? Now why would anyone do something like that? Who knows maybe we got a suicidal pilot running into minefields after all.

You may only modify dice during an attack.

Prox Mines aren't an attack.
