Actions on ionised ships in 2.0

By Schu81, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Hello everyone!

I have got two questions about ionised ships.

1. If Luke Skywalker gets ionised, can he still perform a barrel roll via "Supernatural Reflexes" before he gets activated? It doesn't happen in the "perform action" step, where the rules on page 11 state, that he can only perform a <focus> action, so my guess would be... yes.

2. If one of the BroBots gets ionised, does this ship get an action in the perfom arction step at all? It can't perform a focus action, so maybe it can peform a calculate action instead? My guess would be "no", though.

1: Yes. Ionisation only affects the Perform Action step.

2: No. Being a droid means ions affect you more than squishy organics.

So ion now skips action step?

Ion prevents the ship from doing anything other than a Focus action.

But at least an ion'd ship now does a 'blue' 1, meaning you'll lose any stress you may have.
