Krennic on Stridan

By S41X, in X-Wing Rules Questions

This is probably wishful thinking, but does Stridan's ability to alter range allow another ship with the Optimized Prototype to pass Krennic a target lock after an attack from range 3?

"For the purpose of your actions and Upgrade cards , you may treat friendly ships at Range 2-3 as being at Range 1."

"After you perform a primary attack, a friendly ship at Range 1-2 equipped with the " Director Krennic " Upgrade card may acquire a target lock on the defender."

(rubs chin) I would be inclined to say no, because even though Striden treats friendly ships as Range 1 for purposes of his cards, the Optimized Prototype card is the one granting the free target lock... and that card isn't on the Upsilon.

Conversely, he DOES have Krennic, and for the purposes of THAT card, he's at Range 1. So. I could see it either way.

No.

The ship from which the range is being checked is the Prototype, not Stridan, and the Prototype doesn't have his ability, he does.

Aye that's about what I figured. Krennic over on the shuttle flailing his arms and jumping about, but his Prototype stops checking for him at range 2.

Thanks for the quick replies!
