.....turns out my community have been doing it wrong this whole time until today!

Cards like Ruptured Engine, Thruster Fissure and Crew Panic we have been dealing a facedown damage instead of assigning it to a hull zone with shields!

So many ships and tactical decisions that could've been better...ah well. Just wondering who else did this wrong as well.

yeah i usually catch rules like that, completely missed it cause the criticals are always assumed to be devastating in this game, oh well, live and learn

D'ho!

Yup. Boba Fett is also just a chosen hull zone and so is the debris fields.

Double D'oh! Our group too....

I knew about debris fields, haven't faced Boba yet, and not sure on the face up damage, all I remember is the deal an additional face down damage and flip this card face down. I havent looked at the entire damage deck since I first opened the core set.

RRG, Page 4, "Damage"

• When a ship suffers damage and a hull zone isn’t specified, the ship’s owner chooses which hull zone suffers all of that damage.

There is also the difference between "Damage" and "Damage Card"...

My area at one point had thought just like the OP. We have fixed that and are getting competent now

Crud! I've been blowing myself up all this time?!?

On the plus side, so have my opponents!
