Captured Tie and Bombs

By TheJustWiseSage, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Just checking, if I'm flying the Rebel's Sabine's Tie, with captured Tie, Sabine's Masterpiece, Sabine (as crew), EMP Device and a bomb

what actual constitutes an attack, such that lower Pilot skills can shoot back at me, other than the oblivious I shoot first?

1) If I drop a bomb?

2) If I use the EMP Device (states to be used instead of attacking)?

Currently I don't see how the above 2 would.

You're correct.

The only thing that is attacking is using a primary or secondary weapon. Bombs and EMP devices are neither. Attacking is a thing you do on your activation int he combat phase that involves rolling red dice and them rolling green dice to defend.

I second your remarks, with the following caveat: attacking is not limited to the combat phase. The oldest example is Corran Horn attacking during the end phase. Some new ones include Snap Shot and Quickdraw.

True, true.

My bad.

An Attack will be with a primary weapon or using an upgrade with the "Attack" header on it. Using a Seismic Torpedo is not an attack although it fills a torpedo slot; lacking the attack header means it isn't a secondary weapon so no attack.
