Hey all,
Just getting back into the game and I noticed Black Market Slicer says:
ACTION: Choose a stressed enemy ship at Range 1-2 and roll 1 attack die. On a hit or a critical hit result, remove 1 stress token and deal it 1 facedown Damage card.
Since it does not specifically say remove 1 stress token [from it], is it up to interpretation/choice as to which stress token is removed (ie yours, theirs, etc.)?
It probably needs clarification in the FAQ but I'm 100% sure the Stress you remove is from the Stressed Target which you are kindly exchanging for a face down damage card.
If you think you would remove your own Stress token then YOU should be the "it" that is dealt the face down damage card.
You remove stress from the enemy ship, because you won't be able to use BMST if you yourself are stressed.
Not necessarily true (you can for example have a YT1300 with BMST and Chopper, at least when the heroes kit comes out).
But I think it's clear that the intent is to remove the stress from the enemy ship:
ACTION: Choose a stressed enemy ship at Range 1-2 and roll 1 attack die. On a hit or a critical hit result, remove 1 stress token and deal it 1 facedown Damage card.
The "it" in the second sentence is clearly the stressed enemy ship (unless you're dealing the stress token a damage card!), in which case we can probably assume "remove 1 stress token [from it]".
I'd expect an errata on that card though.
obviously the stress is removed from the targeted ship, but this is typical poor FFG wording. All they needed to add was "from it" after "remove 1 stress token". Odd they continue to make these silly little errors.

You realise that if they didn't make these silly wording errors, we'd have nothing to complain about, don't you?

Or maybe they credit their player base with an ounce of common sense...

That same player base which will exploit any potential hole it finds especially if it happens to be legal?

Hey! Not all of us are rules-lawyering ****** bags.... Only some of us.

There's such as thing as "knowing the rules" and then there's "exploiting the rules". Sometimes it's a fuzzy grey line between the two.
