Some events are spelled out in the rules regarding dying units causing damage (Examples: Dead Man's Switch or Simultaneous Attack Rule), but how do you deal with ones that aren't quite so specific?

Do Anti Pursuit Lasers get a shot when a Huge ship runs you down? It could be argued that since the lasers actually fire before being run over, yes.

Does Sabine Wren get to pick a ship to suffer 1 damage if she was unlucky enough to be crew of a ship destroyed by a friendly bomb? It could be argued that whatever grants her that ability would already be in play before she is killed.

Just curious how others handle this...

I agree with both interpretations you've put forth.

Trigger-on-damage triggers even if the damage in question kills the ship with the trigger.

From Hell's Heart I Stab at Thee....

Sabine does not trigger on damage. She triggers on the discarding of the token which is after all damage has been dealt.

Sabine does not trigger on damage. She triggers on the discarding of the token which is after all damage has been dealt.

So she does.

Ergo, her damage would not be dealt upon lethal self-detonation.

​I really ought to look at the cards before posting.
