So I played this objective in a game last night. Here's the objective card for reference:

The question that came up is if the objective token is right on the line of a ship's firing arc, is that objective token double-arc'd? Meaning that the number of dice that you could attack with is the total of both the dice pools from the two hull zones. We assumed this was the case, but I'm not 100% sure. I was also using a Lambda shuttle to place the objective token in that very spot for one of my ships in one case.

Sure is.

I was also using a Lambda shuttle to place the objective token in that very spot for one of my ships in one case.

Wow, that's nice. I can see it being a staple of ​Strategic ​based fleets.

^ that is filthy...

I love it...

This is almost certainly going to get errata'd eventually. Every other obstacle and token moving mechanic prevents you from overlapping ships and squadrons. Easier to errata one card then letting every token objective be immediately overruled by this ability.

I think that unlikely. Dirty tricks like this are the whole point of Strategic.

When you say "every other token moving mechanic," what other token-moving mechanic is there?

And how does this overrule an objective? Like... the overlap rule is explicitly provided for on the objective itself, it's not like there's some esoteric interaction going on.

This is no more or less dirty than putting an opponent's squadron on the token after a ship overlaps the squadron, and then engaging it there to guarantee the token win. Or blocking an opponent's ship such that it's forced to overlap the token.

I can't understand what fire lanes are supposed to represent in the star wars universe. Ships are shooting at empty space for reasons?

I can shoot bigger than you?

I don't get it.

It is literally "Force Projection"

How much force can I project to a specific area.

Say, if a VIP is going to, or is transiting the area - they would feel safer knowing that their Friendly Side can project more Firepower into their Lane of Travel than the Enemy Can. In case someone tried to stop them, board them and kidnap them for ransom or something.
