The reason people speculate its a thing is because Vet Gunner was revealed with the Falcon's dual arc. Vet Gunner is 100% useless unless it allows splitshotting on a Falcon, since its primary IS its turret.

That statement doesn’t make any sense. The subject is about when a single mobile arc overlaps the standard, fixed fwd arc. That can’t happen on the falcon, it’s primary arc, by definition, can’t overlap.

Sorry thought you were talking about the splitshot.

No, it says “...using a [mobile arc icon] you did not....”.

it all depends on how the rules are defining those icons and firing arcs in general.

It will probably work, I’m just concerned about fan expectations and the fact that it not working plays into a major design goal for 2.0

My apologies for using a different term, but the icon aligns to the weapon on the ion cannon turret card, it doesn't specify a specific arc. I don't understand why there is pessimism around the functionality of this. After the huge push to make the original trilogy ships better, why would anyone think that the Y-wing would get a huge nerf to one of its biggest traits.

If you really want to go rules lawyer, the symbol for turret weapon is a single circle with an arrow in the corner is on all the turret gunner and Han Solo (gunner) cards, but the YT-1300's weapon is a circle with two arrows on opposite side, so technically speaking, those cards wouldn't work as written because the icon is different.

So basically, we can agree that FFG spent a year trying to mitigate poorly worded cards by using symbols, but then the symbols themselves aren't exactly clear.

We’ve been told by FFG that the mobile arc icon applies to both single and double mobile arcs. I think the symbols will be clear once we have the full rules, but right now we don’t and are just speculating and I have seen too many instances of speculating turning into outrage because “WE WERE PROMISED THIS”!!!

like I said, I suspect the double tap will work, I just don’t want people thinking it is a set in stone done deal before we even know the full rules.
