Hello Stephen,

In response to your rules question:

Rules Question:

Hello A rules discussion on the Forum have turned up 2 questions, that I would like to ask you to answer. The forum thread is:
The original question was 'If Miranda Doni attacks an enemy ship with Twin Laser Turret, and destroys the enemy ship with the first attack, does she get to perform the second attack, and use her pilot ability on the second attack?' I used the FAQ for the Darth Vader crew card as a basis for my interpretation. This turned the discussion into how to interpret said FAQ entry. The second question is 'If a ship equipped with Darth Vader can make 2 attacks, say due to Cluster Missiles, and has 1 Hull remaining, can you use Darth Vaders ability after the second attack.' The recent changes to the FAQ entry seems to clearly support that you can. But the first sentence makes others argue that after the second attack you no longer have 1 Hull remaining, and thus can't use the ability. Can you please help us resolve these 2 rules questions. Thanks. Brgds Stephen Esven

If a ship attacks with Twin Laser Turret and destroys the defender with the first attack, that ship cannot attack that ship again (since it has no valid target). The second attack does not take place. (It may have been better in this case for Miranda to use her ability on the first attack to make sure that she recovers a shield.)
As for Darth Vader, a ship equipped with him can use that ability if the ship has at least 1 hull remaining. If that ship uses something (such as Cluster Missiles) to perform two attacks, it can use Darth Vader after both attacks, but if it destroys itself from the first attack (it only had 1 or 2 hull), it performs the second attack, but cannot use Darth Vader after that attack as well.
Thanks for playing,
