Hi I am really sorry if this has been cleared up but I can't find a definitive answer to clear up Zebs crew ability.

1 Does Zebs crew card skill count for enemy ships that are touching in the rear arc?

2 If the ghost does not have a secondary weapon or phantom docked, does that rear arc still count to activate Zeb, meaning it could have negative effects?

3 If the answer to 2 is no would having a turret equipped be enough to activate that rear arc.

4 With a Phantom docked can you use Zeb to attack someone in contact with the second attack (beginning of the end phase)?

Sorry I am a complete noob and I want to be sure on these before I decide to take zeb in.

Thanks in advanced.

1: Yes, the rear arc is an arc printed on the base, so it's an arc for all purposes that just say 'arc', Zeb's crew card included (and importantly, also for instance Autothrusters). If it specified 'primary arc' (e.g. as for cannons and (normally) torpedoes) then it wouldn't count.

2: Yup. You've gotta be a bit careful with Zeb crew. It would also count, for instance, if the Ghost had the Blinded Pilot crit on it. You wouldn't get to attack them during your activation, but they'd get to attack you.

3: n/a

4: Very much up for debate, my position would be no, others say yes, needs official clarification.

Awesome. Thank you :-)
