Ah, the old RAI vs RAW argument.

All I can say for sure is that if someone persisted in trying to use an Intel Officer on their own ship, they would not be finishing that game with me, nor would they be getting any more games locally. I can say with certainty that we would not tolerate that nonsense around here.

It was already confirmed by FFG that this somewhat counterintuitive use of your intel officer is in fact within the rules. So while I share your doubts towards the fluffiness of this ruling it is FFGs will.

You can of cause decide not to play against some dude for any imaginable reason, but in this case you would decide to not play a guy who is 100% following the rules, no RAW vs. RAI included.

Vader, "Admiral Destroy that ship I want None left Alive"

Admiral "yes sir"

Admiral to his Intelligence Officer, "What do you Have to report"

Intel officer, "Sir I have analysed There ship and Noticed a weakness in their shield, if we target it the capacitors will fail quickly"

Admiral, " excellent, Show it to our gunners, anything else?"

Intel officer " yes, I noticed that the turbo lasers are connected to the main Power generator the same way the shield is, if we reroute power We can Increase the range and Power of our Ion Cannons, however it could overload some of our Capacitors..."

Admiral "would this help?"

Intel officer," I believe it would, It would allow us to disable the targets Shields Much faster"

Vader, "yes admiral, Reroute the power, I want them dead quickly"

Admiral, "You heard him! Make it so"

Bridge officer "Yes sir, right away sir!"

FFG can take their will and cram it. Anyone trying this here would get laughed out of town.

why?

at this point there is no difference between following this and any other rule.

would you laugh someone out of town for using Screed to Guarantee ACM's?

Well, it is what it is.

Still, if someone did this I'd definitely give them the ol side eye for it.

I guess if you're in a clinch and really NEED that one last damage for the last turn... it could make sense? Maybe?

Oh, okay, I see, I was giving you the benefit of the doubt, assuming you just hadn't seen the ruling and were addressing an unclear situation.

But I clearly misunderstood: you're just here to swing your e-peen around because you don't like the rule.

why?

Because it's an obvious unintended loophole and it's silly. FFG may have endorsed it, but only because they backed themselves into a corner with the language of their rules.

I can say that as a TO myself I would not allow this interaction to fly in a tournament without official support and clarification.

I find this particularly disturbing. Surely it's not permitted for a TO to simply changes any rules he chooses? Well, maybe in a private tournament (assuming he piblishes all of his rules beforehand and makes sure people have seen them before they pay their entry fees), but not in an official one, with FFG prizes and byes.

And it was always a rule change, even before we got clarification from FFG. Those emails have changed nothing except hopefully made you realise that you're "it's obvious" argument is utterly fatuous.

save Leia who would be super amazing if she didn't specify friendly;

Oh... oh wow... Now I want this to be a thing.

THIS is what Director Isard should have done (she would obviously be much more expensive if she did).
