How many times can you hit the same asteroid at once?

By Velvetelvis, in X-Wing Rules Questions

1.land on a rock

next turn try to go off the rock....template crossed over rock

bump and have to set the ship back down on the same rock

so one roll for the first landing,

next turn roll on the way off the rock...

but, ALSO roll when setting down again on the same rock?

No, you only roll once for each rock each turn.

You don't roll once for crossing it and once for landing on it.

The maximum number of times you can be affected by each obstacle are theoretically infinite if you bump in place every turn and get lucky with your damage rolls..

You'll only suffer the obstacle once per round.

You could get stuck on a rock for an entire game if someone parks in front of you. Keep in mind that getting blocked off of an asteroid means you never actually hit it.

Unless your maneuver template overlapped it.

We only consider the portion of the maneuver template before the bump, though, right? Or am I imagining that?

You are right.

Here I'm thinking it is only the portion of the template that still sticks out behind the ship. Anything that is under the final position or in front of it never actually gets counted.

A hypothetical 5 straight that you intend to carry you all the way over an obstacle could leave you with several options:

1. Finish maneuver and suffer obstacle effect for having template overlap but no additional conditions as the ship no longer sits on it.

2. Get blocked back so that ship is sitting on obstacle. Full obstacle effects including any ongoing ones for sitting on it.

3. Blocked back to the point you never even reach obstacle. You never hit it so you don't experience any obstacle effects although you'll still be dealing with the overlap issues that prevent you from making it that far.

4. Blocked all the way back to your starting position and it's like you never moved.

Digitalbusker you are right. It's in the FAQ. If your template overalls the obstacle but your ship is blocked before crossing the obstacle you do not suffer the effects of the obstacle.

Excellent, thank-you fellas

I think it's more correct to say you can only suffer the effect of an obstacle once per maneuver. I don't know of hand if there is any way to perform more then one maneuver per turn, but if you pull that of some how, you could well suffer the effect of the same obstacles more than once per turn.

True, the problem withi thouse are that they require an action, and overlaping an obstacle usualy deprive you of your chanse to perform actions.

But I suppose f.ex. Tycho could land in debri and suffer the effect and the go right ahead and ignore the stress and do a DD-maneuver and end up in the same debri cloud and there by suffering the consequveses of it two times in the same turn.

And come to think of it would work with any ship with DD on an asteroid that gets an action from some other source then it's perform action step.

SLAM is a bit harder though as it can not be performed as a free action (IIRC) and is so far restricted to the K-Wing.

True. Daredevil you could also do via the Dauntless title if you bumped on an asteroid.

Does Barrel Roll count, out of curiosity?

No, boost and barrel roll cannot normally overlap asteroids; if the token or ship would overlap, the action fails.

The (soon-to-be) exception is Tractor Beams, and we don't yet know how they work fully WRT asteroid damage and effects.

...and I learn something new. No-one has ever used one of those action to overlap in any game I have played but I had missed that restriction on those actions!
