So Bossk gets a crit taking his PS to zero. Then he is destroyed and the Nashtah Pup is deployed! Which PS is the Pup? Does the crit make it a 0 or does it become a 7 again?

Thx!

Crits, like all damage cards, are discarded when the ship is destroyed. No crit, no PS 0.

But what about Decoy, Swarm Tactics, or Torkil, you ask? All excellent questions. I'll note that all those only last through the current Combat phase, though.

And also like damage cards they target a particular ship. The pup is a different ship than the tooth, nothing that effects the one is going to effect the other unless something specifically says it does.

Yeah, but that doesn't matter. They change the YV-666's PS. The Nashtah Pup gets the YV-666's PS.

My guess -- and I truly don't know for sure -- is that Decoy, Swarm Tactics, and Torkil will not give the Nashtah Pup the temporary PS -- not even temporarily -- but that's not because they target another ship. I suspect it will be because ruling otherwise is just a big mess.

I thought this was in the FAQ, but I can not find it. Perhaps it was an e-mail answer. As I recall it was ruled that the pup has what ever PS is printed on the YV-666 card it originates from, so any alterations to the YV's PS will be ignored as far as the Pup is concerned.

Yeah, Smuggler is right. I'm pretty sure that it was an email that somewhere posted.

It was a response from the German distributor that got posted saying to use the printed values on the YV-666 pilot card for Pilot Skill and Ability.

I had contended that the PS possessed at the time that the Houndtooth was destroyed should be what was transferred to the Pup. None of the cards would be, just that the Pup would inherit the current values. Likewise, if the Houndstooth had the crit that caused you to lose your Pilot Ability, there would be no ability for the Pup to inherit.
