New FAQ

By Forgottenlore, in X-Wing

So the change to cloaking is already being discussed, but there are other changes, and not everyone looks in the rules section so...

(lets see if this topic get's ninja'd)

Major changes or clarifications are

Cloaking seriously nerfed to take place at the start of the turn, not before the ship moves

Accuracy corrector answered as taking place in the modify dice step

What it takes to no longer be "touching" is clarified

Damaged Sensor Array does stop upgrade cards without the action header from working if the ship has the action normally (Isaard on a firespray or ACD)

Autothrusters and turrets are clarified

IG-2000 and injured pilot clarified. The ability of the injured pilot goes away from all ships, but it may still use the other's abilities

Lots more minor clarifications, but those are the major questions answered.

Feedback Array can be used while overlapping asteroids.

I feel like they overkill some of the clarifications. Like saying Experimental Interface is unique so only 1 copy can be used in your squad. I mean, it has the symbol next to the name which is described in the Core rules.

Apparently there were some misprints that omitted the dot.

Oh, didn't know that.

Yes. Use the direct link that was posted in another thread.

Just use intelligence agents if you feel vulnerable now.

Accuracy corrector left "May" and "May" on the card. Does this mean I roll 3 red dice crit, blank, blank. I choose not to cancell all dice results but add 2 hits? For crit, hit, hit? Or am I just Misunderstanding how this card works?

With all the clarifications, they still haven't clarified the "Regional super-bye" which we were talking about the other day.

Someone in another thread pointed out that the clarification on touching should really help oicunn. If you can get him in a big traffic jame with lots of ships bumping him, if he can't clear it with his maneuver, he will still be touching and so will damage all of them.

  • or when overlapping the same ship
  • or with blinded pilot

I thought this was common knowledge already, I try to set this up all the time.

I know there was debate on if he damaged people touching the "sides" of the ship.

I always thought the wording on the card is pretty un-ambiguous "each enemy ship you are touching suffers 1 damage." implies more than one and explicitly says "touching", I must have missed the debate.

You have to cancel ALL dice results. It says it right there. It's like you rolled no dice at all. Then, you get 2 auto-hits instead.

Let's not overlook the clarification on how to resolve collisions when the template is partially (or completely) covered by the ship's base.

Yeah, I noticed that was a pretty big one. VERY clear and unambiguous, now.

I think the basic scenario is something like this:

Oicunn executes a maneuver, overlaps a ship, and is placed touching that ship, then deals 1 damage to that ship.

Another ship executes a maneuver and overlaps Oicunn on his side.

Next turn, Oicunn executes a 1 straight maneuver, and overlaps the ship in front of him, then deals 1 damage to that ship. The question was if Oicunn also deals damage to the ship he did not overlap. Now we know: yes, he does.

That's pretty cool, but harder to do IRL than on Vassal.

I understand the basic scenario, for me there was never any doubt. Oicunn doesn't move, he still physically touches the 2-3-4-5-6 ships, so each take 1 damage. End of story.

The question was about how long you stayed "touching". Here are a couple of the threads where it was argued

I've been doing it Vassal-style (phrasing) for a while now, and it's pretty straightforward to do.

It says you may cancell all your dice results. Then I may add two hits. So do I have to do the first to do the latter? Or is it like R7-T1?

I like that the example is Boba Fett, who doesn't even have a Turn 1 maneuver on his dial. But I suppose you could give him Daredevil. I'll admit, I've done it before.
