Had a rule question I hadn't encountered before. I was playing an opponent who had SW-7 Ion Cannons, and the ship suffered the "Blinded Gunners" damage card, which doesn't allow for him to spend accuracies. The question is, given the wording of the SW-7 card, (unspent blue accuracies adds 1 damage to the damage pool), does that mean that his accuracies essentially all become damage, or do they just go away. In short, does he benefit from the damage card?

Thanks in advance.

Blinded Gunners x2 - Crew - You cannot spend Accuracy rolls while attacking

Technically looking in the rules and FAQs, counting damage is not considered spending an accuracy. so it almost seems like those would be considered damage. Since they are unspent.

In fact, they specifically must be un-spent in order to use SW-7s.

If you cannot spend them, then they are Unspent.

So yes, SW-7s are the ultimate backup for Blinded gunners.

Its just as good as depowered armanent at hurting a CR90B SW7. Doesnt even scratch it.

You still get the damage.

SW-7: While attacking a ship, each of your unspent blue Accuracy icons adds 1 damage to the damage total.

Blinded Gunners - Crew: You cannot spend Accuracy rolls while attacking.

Is there an accuracy?
