Scum CPT Nym and friendly bombs

By Leobarron2000, in X-Wing Rules Questions

On CPT Nym's Scum pilot card, it mentions that when a "friendly ship is defending, if the attacker measures range through a friendly bomb token, the defender may add 1 [EVADE] result."

1. Does that mean all friendly bombs - including ones that another ship has dropped?

2. Also, does that ability vanish when Nym is destroyed?

Thanks again everyone.

1. Yes. Likewise, Sabine can trigger from any bomb dropped by a friendly ship, Deflective Plating can prevent damage from bombs dropped by any friendly ship.

2. Mostly. Almost every time Nym is destroyed, the ability will vanish immediately.

However, if Nym is destroyed by not yet removed due to simultaneous attacks (say, your PS 8 Nym has just been killed by an Enemy Nym at the same PS), his pilot ability will remain in play. If another enemy ship (Miranda with TLT at PS 8) at the same PS is attacking and the shot is measured through a friendly bomb, you'll still be able to use Nym's ability. Here, the fact that Nym won't be removed until he can fire his own shots, and his pilot ability remains in effect until that happens.

Good to know. Thanks.

Thanks!
