3 EPT vs Wave 8 questions

By Sentinal, in X-Wing

Not sure if these were asked before, apologies if going over old stuff.

1) Zeb (crew) + Intimidation Do these two work together?

Zeb (crew) - "Enemy ships inside your firing arc that you are touching are NOT CONSIDERED to be touching you when either you or they activate during the Combat phase."

Intimidation - "While you ARE touch in an enemy ship, reduce that ships agility by one."

*Personally, based on the highlighted words I think so but I've been wrong before.

2)'Docked' ships + Lone Wolf Does Lone Wolf work on Ghost and Gozanti if they have ships docked to them?

"When attacking or defending, if there are no other friendly ships at Range 1-2, you may rerolls one of your blank results. "

3)'0' Agility ships + Expose Does the ship's agility go below '0' from using Expose. If not, does it still increase the primary value by 1?

1) It works for when other ships fire upon the ship you are touching, but not for when you fire, as at that point, you are no longer considered touching the ship

2) Yes. docked ships are not considered to be on the playing field, so Lone Wolf would work (Although neither the Ghost or Gozanti get an EPT).

3) It does not go below 0, but you get the bonus from Expose. This was at one point a popular build on Decimators, although the point sink for the combo (Expose + Experimental interface usually) was too much for it to even really be worth it. This will be a non-issue with the Ghost, as no pilots have an EPT.

On the 1st question, I took the phrasing on Zeb's card "... are NOT CONSIDERED to be touching..." to mean you each can still do combat with each other while touching. Which wouldn't effect INTIMIDATION

Zeb card is pretty clear. You are not touching when the Ghost activates during combat, and you are not touching when the "touch-ee" activates during combat.

If the Ghost is shooting the touched ship, no Intimidation. If a third ship shoots the touched ship, Intimidation can trigger - the Ghost and the touched ship are not touching during anyone else's combat activations.

Saying anything like "not touching when they activate actually means 'they can shoot each other for combat'" is literally ignoring the rules.
