Chopper Pilot Vs Epsilon leader

By TgLoki, in X-Wing Rules Questions

This came up in a game yesterday. Chopper and Ep Leader bump and both of there abilities activate at the start of the combat phase. Chopper adds a stress and Epsilon Removes a stress, should they be activating in an order (activation order or combat order), or do the abilities activate at the exact same time which I guess means Epsilon can cancel the stress?

Thanks in advanced.

Whoever has initiative resolved their effects first. If Epsilon Leader has inititive he would clear stress before Chopping inflicts it.
