Which would take first

By Redjones69, in X-Wing Rules Questions

If I have 2 ships next to each other and both have wingman and both have glitterstim. Would wingman lite off after glitterstim gave it's stress?

This would be more at home in the Rules Questions forum, instead of the Off-Topic, but there's that.

At the start of combat you resolve all abilities triggered ona ship, in the order of your choosing, before moving to the next ship at the same PS, or moving to the next lower PS ship with triggered abilities.

If you had a single IG-88 with Wingman and Glitterstim, paired with a Black Sun Ace with Wingman and Glitterstim it would resolve in this order:

Start of Combat

IG-88

Wingman or Glitterstim, followed by the remaining ability.

Black Sun Ace

Wingman or Glitterstim, followed by the remaining ability.

This order of activation is mandatory.

If you had two Black Sun Aces (or other ships at same PS)

BSA 1

Wingman or Glitterstim, followed by the remaining ability.

BSA 2

Wingman or Glitterstim, followed by the remaining ability.

This order is flexible, both have the same PS so you could activate and resolve in order of your choice, as long as you finish one ship before moving to the other.

Thank you

That's not correct; there is no consideration of PS in the resolution of abilities.

From the rules reference, section "Card Abilities":

If multiple abilities resolve at the same time, the player with initiative chooses which of his abilities to resolve and resolves them in the order of his choosing. Then the opposing player does the same for his own abilities.

From the RRG, Page 8, under Card Abilities:

If multiple abilities resolve at the same time, the
player with initiative chooses which of his abilities
to resolve and resolves them in the order of his
choosing. Then the opposing player does the
same for his own abilities.

Pilot skill doesn't enter in to the order, just initiative to determine which player goes first. So yes, the ships in question could both fire Glitterstim and then each activate Wingman if the owning player wanted.

The key part in all of this is the wording of "the player" and not "the ship". There's nothing under Card Abilities that states a player must fully resolve one ship before moving on to the next one that I'm aware of.
