Actually decloak clarification. Rules state: "At the start of the Activation phase, after players have resolved all other abilities that trigger at the start of the Activation phase..."

Little confused here, Activation phase is basically:

- Reveal Dial

- Execute Maneuver

- Perform Action

When can the ship decloak?

First part states "At the beginning of..." - so thought it would be before you even reveal dial. However, it also states "...after... resolved all other abilities that trigger at the start..." Rules also specify, that "...after all decloaking has been resolved, the Activation phase continues as normal."

This is probably simple, but being new I'm just not seeing it, I would appreciate your help - thank you.

You pretty much have it already: after all abilities that state "at the start of the activation phase..." have been resolved and before any dials are revealed, you decide whether your ship wants to decloak or stay cloaked.

So: good job on reading/interpreting the rules, which is by no means always a simple task.

Thanks for the confirmation - definitely a challenge understanding some of these rules.

Yep. But in general, the golden rule is this: Do what the cards tell you to do. Do this and nothing else. But the more additional cards and colliding card effects there are, the more complicated it gets. But feel free to ask away whenever you're unsure.

Check the BIG Reference Card I sent you. It's the very first thing on the card.

Resolve any “ Start of the Activation phase ” abilities, then any ships decloaking , then:

1. Reveal Dial

2. Execute Maneuver

a. Move Ship

b. Check Pilot Stress

c. Clean Up

3. Perform Action

Duh... feel kind of dumb now, I forgot about the BIG ref card - thanks for the reminder. Gonna get the new version printed tomorrow so I'll have it handy.

Keep in mind there are some upgrades that trigger just before or at the start of the Activation phase:

Crew - Agent Kallus (First round only, so should not affect decloak timing)

Crew - Carlist Rieekan (Huge Ship)

Crew - Cassian Andor (End of Planning Phase)

Crew - Intelligence Agent

Crew - Leia Organna

Crew - Raymus Antilles (Huge Ship)

Not sure if there are any others, but I think it is written this way to help determine timing.
