In the example it shows the Tie in range 2 and range 3 in arc.
It gets Auto Thrusters cause it is in range 3?
Some how this doesnt seem right.

It's the arc that counts for the Range 3 check.

It seems perfectly right. Especially with the new AT errata, making it work as intended.
Ah.. I havent read the errata yet. I must have missed it scimming through it.

First page of the Errata Section, in bright red. Kinda hard to miss really. ![]()
Here is my question about the errata. If the Inquisitor's ability negates autothrusters because we are to treat him as at range 1 then does that mean prorockets will work at range 3 with him?

No. The Inquisitor's ability only works when he is attacking with his primary weapon. If he uses a secondary weapon his ability has no effect.

Nope. The card says it's just the primary weapon.
Ok I missed that this morning before coffee

What he said, but it's not just because of the AT errata, they also added a section mandating clarifying that when the phrase "inside arc at Range X" appears, you don't measure the arc and range separately.
Some card abilities use the expression “inside arc at Range X” or “inside arc beyond Range X.” This compound phrase defines a specific situation where the closest point to closest point distance between two ships, when measured inside firing arc, is at a specific range band.
(regardless of the closest point out-of-arc)

The reason that AT doesn't trigger when attacked by The Inquisitor seems to be because (aside from The Inquisitor's FAQ) of "when defending". (I personally don't see any other reason why it shouldn't trigger.)
On a side note: There's still at least one case where you need to be in-arc and at a specified range, in which the range is determined separately from checking arc, R7-T1, where you choose an enemy ship at Range 1-2 then if you're inside their arc (even if your closest point in-arc is at Range 3) the rest of it's text triggers.
I didnt miss the example. I just thought that it wasnt accurate. And when I said I missed the errata. I meant I didnt see it next to the card in the FAQ. Since it reffers you to the photoed example I just skimmed it.
I just cant get over AT saying "beyound range 2". It is clearly range 2 for the shot. Yes there is a corner of the ship at range three. Im just getting the vibe its a "This is how we meant for it to work".
But if thats the how it works then thats that.
Now I see my mistake.
The ship I was looking at was the Tie Fighter. Not the advanced. No change in how the rules are. I just miss read the example.

Arguably the boost from R7-T1 triggers whether you're in-arc or not. As written, only the target lock is dependent upon being in their arc. The boost clause is independent of both the target lock acquisition and the in-arc requirement. It requires only an enemy ship at Range 1-2.
It's really not a bad droid.

I see what you're saying, as written that's definitely the case. Unfortunately, the FAQ for it (pg. 14) seems to disagree, though I'm not certain! By putting the boost in a separate sentence (on the card and in the FAQ) it's definitely unclear.
I agree, the FAQ contradicts what I wrote, and what I was responding to. R7-T1 appears to adhere to the "measure once in-arc" rule, per the FAQ. So there will be no way to trigger the text if your ships is at Range 2 (out of arc), but at Range 3 (in-arc). You must be both.
R7-T1 measures Range from the ship it is ob ti the enemy. Then you check if you are in the chosen enemies arc. So it definetly does not fall under the 'in arc at Range' rune.
