I feel like I already know what the answer to this is going to be (and I'm fairly certain it's already been discussed, but I could not find the thread), buttttt....

Interdictor: triggers when a ship activated (even itself)

PQ7s: triggers when the ship it is equipped to activates

So the interdictor activates and uses PQ7s. They exhaust. Interdictor title triggers and readies it. Since the same timing is still being applied, you exhaust PQ7s.

I know the RRG states that an effect can only be used once per trigger for multiple keywords (words to that effect), but should "exhaust" cards be treated differently? I'm not saying have a new rule made for them, but have the current rule interpreted specifically for this type of instance. The "instance" being that the exhausting of the card is what triggers the card effect (which is basically how it already works, though I know exhausting the card is treated as an effect), versus the actual timing. Thus, the trigger for the effect happens twice in the case of the interdictor, and the effect doesn't happen twice under the same timing.

And I know I'm about to get shot down, but the interdictor could really use some love. It's had a Regionals season almost as bad as the Falcons blowing that 22 point lead, and letting it PQ7 twice in the same activation wouldn't be game breaking...

Its just, "When you activate" can generate multiple triggers, and you resolve them in any order.

Thing is, once you've resolved them, you can't then add something else TO THE ORDER, because you're already past the step where you would resolve them...

So you'd go:

- Exhaust Phyloms
- Exhaust Interdictor

You'd then be able to Un-Exhaust your Phyloms... But the opportunity to Trigger them has passed. Because you've already gone past the start of thea ctivation bit. You basically had to, to get the order to go in.

That's along the same lines as the explanation for the last dumb question I asked. Figures

Sorry man.

Burstin' bubbles all over the place, here, it seems

Interdictor could be used to activate tractors that an enemy had exhausted using an MS1 Ion Cannon earlier in the turn though.

So can this be done.....

1. Enemy shoots at interdictor and an MS1 blue Crit exhausts the Interdictor's Q7 Tractor Beam.
2. Interdictor then activates and chooses its deactivated Q7 to activate.
3. Interdictor uses Tractors on an enemy.
