When two ships have the same piloting skill, does the player's ship who has the initiative still move last and fire first?

For some reason some of the players in my group disagree.

The player with initiative moves first shoots first, page 12 of rules under Initiative:

• During the Activation phase, if both players have

ships with the same pilot skill, all of those ships

belonging to the player with initiative activate

first.

• During the Combat phase, if both players have

ships with the same pilot skill, all of those ships

belonging to the player with initiative resolve the

phase first.

The player with initiative always acts first, whether it is moving, shooting, placing the first asteroid, resolving abilities that trigger at the same time (like Decloak or Intelligence Agent) and so on.

But be aware, that having initiative can sometimes help you and sometimes hinder you. There are a few times when you don't want it.

Thank you kindly.

Yep some pilots like fel want to move last so they can arc dodge.
