AMA: "FB: This is an easy one: yes. Since the only measuring tools provided by the game are the range ruler and the maneuver templates, rather than constantly restating “inside your (firing) arc at range 0–3” (since a firing arc can’t be measured with those components beyond the range ruler), we just put a rule in that says measuring inside your arc goes to the end of the range ruler (i.e. up to range 3)."

Vindication!

I’ve never felt so right in my entire life.

Player 1: Corran locks Vader.

Player 2: What are you talking about? I don't have Vader in my list!

Player 1: He's on the next table.

Player 2: What? You can't do that!

Player 1: Sure I can. Corran's Experimental Scanners can acquire locks beyond range three. That's beyond range three. So I'm locking Vader.

Player 2: OK, even if I accept that's within the rules, why would you lock a ship on the next table?

Player 1: I'm getting a jump on pairings for next round.

To bad this isn't Attack Wing. That's some commendation worthy "original thinking" there.

Remember those people talking about fortressing Torkil Mux in a corner and using his infinite range ability across the entire board. I wonder what they're doing with their lives now??

Alex confirmed at the weekend that this is getting errated to only work when you're unstressed.

If the firing arc extends forever, then it never forms an arc. Terminating the arc at range 3 does form an arc (with a flat spot in the middle). So therefore since it’s an arc, it must terminate somewhere with the shape of an actual arc, and range 3 seems like the perfect choice. In summary, I will slap anyone that says their arc extends beyond range 3.

Whilst I agree that a firing arc doesn't go beyond range three your statement in mathematically inaccurate.

An arc can have sides of infinite length. It would also have a curve at the end of infinite length. Plus an infinite area inside.

Math isn’t real and infinity isn’t a number.
