CC and going off the board

By mobow213, in Star Wars: Armada Rules Questions

If a ship runs outside the play area, its consider destroyed in the came. But would it then become scarred. since it didn't really go BOOM. or destroyed like the ship are when they hyperspace out?

Nothing published has changed that rule, so if a ship maneuvers off of the board it is counted as destroyed. Since there is a mechanic for making a proper hyperspace escape I would say a ship that maneuvers off the board is scarred, or destroyed if it was already scarred.

Yep. Corellian Conflict says that scarring happens when a Ship is Destroyed.

Flying off the Board Edge makes you Destroyed.

1+1=2 :D

Once again, this is one of those rules that people will be tempted to house rule.

But I would advise against it in this case. It's just too easy too abuse (like, pretty much any time this happens it'll feel unbalanced and abused if the ship isn't ruled as destroyed for scarred purposes).

You're better by far to either ignore the funniness of the situation or come up with some explanation that you could swallow (with a healthy dose of suspended disbelief :) ).

For instance; the ship got chased down after the battle or; the ship got separated and took too long to re-join the rest of the fleet to receive the proper resupply a ship would need before the next engagement (hence scarred).

This is one of the rules that I had never thought about, my first thought would be if it is early in the game and the ship is undamaged (or mostly at least) I could see it being a form of jumping to hyperspace, but if it is mostly damaged and trying to run away to not be destroyed I would say that it is destroyed. The tricky part would be determining one from the other, again first though would be let the opponent make the call as it is supposed to be a fun game not a cut throat tournament but could also see just saying it is destroyed. May have to think about this, we have one player who is not so good at flying his ships and flies off the board about half the games he plays in (not on purpose), so that influence our groups thoughts, as I said this is supposed to be for fun.

Im on the fence with the ship, being destoryed due to pickett ships picking it off, but would also be ok with saying it jumped to hyperspace if round 4 to 6 and no dictors
