Yeah I'm really puzzled as to exactly why they ruled this way instead of simply stating "Strategic cannot move objective tokens off obstacles in Dangerous Territory."
I can't even begin to express how vindicating that APT/Fire Control Team ruling is. The amount of flaming I took from almost everybody for suggesting that there was even a discussion to be had over that...
Not that I'm happy about. The card isn't worth the paper it's printed on.

uh, when is that again?
This will definitely be a nerf to Admonition as it is being played in my area.

Man, I'm with you. I still don't think the discussion was worth having... Its just... Its like because we had the discussion , they've now shut us up by making the silliest ruling possible.

Are you serious. Snipe from engagement man. Jesus, where's that gandalf avatar dude. Get him in here.
2 minutes ago, Undeadguy said:What is FFG trying to clarify with Admonition? "A ship equipped with Admonition can discard a single defense token while defending." The card says you can discard a token.
I feel like it should have been: "A ship equipped with Admonition can only discard a single defense token while defending."

To be fair, if you were discarding more than 1 defense token per attack, you were playing it illegally anyway... ("While" defending only allows you to do one...)
Rapid Launch Bays
"When a ship with this card equipped resolves a (squad) command, it can place its set-aside squadrons up to the number it would activate during that (squad) command. After the squadrons are placed, they
can
be activated (one at a time) as part of that (squad) command, but cannot move."
This doesn't say
must
, so that means if you wanted to just place them, without activating them, you could. The use another ship to push them?
Glad to see they incorporated the Hyperlane house rule to prevent turtling.
"The second player does not gain 1
victory token for each ship within 2
range ruler lengths of the first player’s
edge that retreats to hyperspace at the
end of the game."
Edit: i was too quick with my reading. It's a hyperspace thing. You can still turtle, just not hyperspace.

This is exactly why I'm confused.

OMG WE NEED ANOTHER FAQ.
Let's go to the rules forum n discuss for 20 pages.

Yeah, I remember getting yelled at for asking that question, too. A lot of the clarifications make a lot of sense, DT is super weird, though. Good thing Snipe is back to being useful.
RLB got the answer that makes it an effective card, IMO. Super grateful for all that CC clarification as well.

I am guessing it was probably a frequently asked question. Just because it is clear in the rules doesn't mean a lot of people misread it and ask that question over and over. Gernes was probably just trying to cull a few 100 future emails he might get about it.
DT ruling means you could use Strategic to deny the tokens from your opponent. I like that.
Am I right to assume from this that FFG sees no issues with the way flotillas or squadrons or the "activation advantage" in the game currently are?
Not starting crap, but I feel vindicated, so yeah, I'ma start some stuff.
Well, there's already 2 follow-up question emails from me
Just for clarification on admonition, you can still burn a red redirect for its effect, and then also discard another token with Admo right?

why is that? That's pretty much how everyone plays it

Sure.
Because you spent the Redirect. Spending it rsulted in discarding, but you spent it.

I guess you're right, but then you give the option to your opponent to counter your move

I'm not perfectly versed in team orange or purple, but the way I understood the argument, this clarification makes it seem like you can do either.... I kinda like it that way.

I think it's wise of them to not make such a drastic change two weeks out from Worlds.
Now, I have no idea if they actually will make a change, but if they are planning one, this is no time to do it.

That's a big leap. More like they wouldn't mess with the game 2 weeks before Worlds and screw everyone over. A better way to see if there is a problem is to have a large sample population and see what happens.
You're implying FFG didn't make a change because they don't see a problem.
8 minutes ago, Sybreed said:uh, when is that again?
If you're meaning this as sarcasm or a joke, it's going over my head. Sorry.
Worlds is in two weeks. I think most of the people expected flotilla changes expected them after World's. It feels unlikely that FFG would shake up the meta so heavily before then.
