Will this hit my ships as well
Was going to use tonight but after rereading card I think it does which really effects my strategy.
Just want to double/triple check
Ionization reactor?
It hits all ships friendly and enemy. There's no restriction on the card.
Great I thought so wanted to make sure
I'll change things up before we start
So here is a weird scenario that we haven't quite found the answer for. Recently we had a Raider vs Tantive joust where the Tantive was equipped with the Ion Reactor. When used, both sections of the Raider were at range one of the fore section of the Tantive where Ion Reactor was equipped.The link takes you to the time lapse of our lets play. Per how the card reads, each other ship is effected, but does that mean that only one or both sections of the Raider suffers the effect? As damage is managed separately for each section, would each section suffer it's own damage? The same for Ionization. Would both sections be ionized, therefore double ionizing the entire Raider, or only one?

When dealing with stuff that affects all ships in an area, the Raider and Tantive are each considered one ship. The player who controls the effect chooses which section to affect, if it matters. So, for example, if you drop a proton bomb, it only deals one crit to one section, but the player who dropped the bomb gets to choose which section.
The above post is correct, but here is an added reference. Huge ship rules page 3:
"If an effect would damage both sections of a huge ship, the opposing player chooses one section, and the chosen section suffers the damage."
Recently we had a Raider vs Tantive joust .
Isn't that kinda like playing Armada with X-wing models?

Except for armada having other sequences, other firing mechanics, other move-fire order, ability to alternate course...
