We had a discussion today regarding Ackbar in conjunction with a CR90B. Why can shed light on the following

When shooting at long range:

1. As the CR90B has no red dice, Ackbar (being an attack effect and no dice are gathered during the Roll Attack Dice step) will not apply and the CR90B cannot fire at long range

--- OR ----

2. Ackbar is added during the Roll Attack Dice step and consequently, the CR90B can fire

Thx for helping us out!

#1 is correct. Ackbar is an add effect so he triggers then.

A good example in the MC30 Torp.

It wouldn't get the Ackbar bonus at long range unless it had the Enhanced Armament Turbolaser upgrade when Ackbar would give his benefit.

The important difference between adding dice to the pool and adding dice to the battery armament.
