By the rules if I am ionised then in my Activation Phase I move 1 Forward Blue and can only focus.

But before that in the same round when I still have ion token(s) can I be coordinated to do any available action (barrel roll etc)?

What about a coordinate after I clear my Ion?

Chatting with others it seems you can be Coordinated even in a round you clear your Ion but this seems illogical to me. I think the rule should read that the pilot can only Focus and cannot be coordinated at all that round. Or perhaps until they have cleared their ion.

How do we get this clarified or fixed by FFG?

You can do any actions you like at any point you could normally do them *except* when you are in your Perform Action step.

Whether you think this makes sense or not is up to you, but by current RAW, this is how it works.

Are you able to drop bombs in the systems phase after being ionized?

Yes.

yes ion only prevents your action phase stuff to be limited to focus.

If you have a way to get an action outside of that phase (which usually are tied to the dial you didnt set though) you can get that still.

I fully expect them to change that rule though to get rid of that restriction. Ionwalking became laughably easy to do in 2.0 as a result since you can never boost out of R2 or roll out of arc. Recently had a game where i ionwalked two xwings to death with 2 TIE/aggressors lol...

I mean, you need to get 2 hits through to ionize a small ship (first for damage, second for ion token), so realistically a 2 agility ship ought to dodge once in a while, or the attack ought to blank out... So I'm not sure it should be that huge of an issue yet...

Its unlikely yes but its possible.

Especially since turrets get R1 bonus so i was rolling 4 dice, not 3, and always had a focus. I kept landing 3 hits w/ that focus and he kept only evading 1 hit. The ONE TIME he evaded the ion the 2nd aggressor zapped him anyway afterwords lol

Only 4. Kavil says try harder punk
