Do you think you "HAVE" to shoot (roll your dice) in combat?

I know you "MUST" have combat, but when it comes to shooting it does not say "MAY" or "MUST"

What i'm talking about is the Brotherhood of Yin Flag ship. Basically just a big Nuke.

So I had the idea of just retreating. I'd let him shoot at me, but could not decide weather or not I had to roll dice or not.

Nope, you have to shoot. I don't think there's any ruling for it other than the Space Combat section stating "Each player makes combat rolls." No "may".

That's why the Brotherhood flagship is better than people realize. It's ability is expensive and situational, but it's like a real nuke - the threat of using it gives you more negotiating power. Park it near and important system, or home planet, and just threaten to move it in.

You know what Hacan?

For 10 trade goods and Support for the Throne, right now, I'll go blow up that really big nasty Sardak fleet heading your way.
