It's a good thing it's a spectacularly useless ability because it's going to be an adjudicator's nightmare.

2 dice at any range can still hurt. It is extremely situational though.

I guess I have more practice sighting line under a yard but over a foot than many, just need to lean down behind and inline with it. Though that might be an issue for some with bad backs, so laser lines come in handy there.

Is it in arc? Without a range ruler that's a nightmare to figure out.

I mean, I get a lot practice at it too... but those close calls do need a straight edge to show everybody. I don't trust lasers for the close calls any more, the light bleed on them confuses the heck out of people. They're great, but not the best for close calls. I'm obviously making light of the whole problem in my previous post, and most of the potential shots under this proposed ruling would be easy enough... but there are going to be miserable problem shots too.

No doubt. Is that corner just out or touching??? Glad it is a 2 die and costs a hp. Might be worth popping a stealth device or a kill shot, but that's it, especially with the hassles the literal "edge cases" will cause.

You guys thought they were giving us a Range 5 ruler for Epic? 🙄

Unless it's like speed 4 or 5

If it only works on speed 4 or 5 (note that it's higher than x, not x or more, so if x is 3, only speed 4 or 5 moves will trigger it, which is super irritating when on the very same card they use x or more. STANDARDISE for goodness' sake) it will be tough to get right. I am always aware of how tough it was getting 4 die cruise missiles off in 1e. Albeit, they had no ability to fire at R1 which makes it tougher.

Ignore, misread a post I was replying to.

Not saying it’s the same thing, exactly, but one of the Mining Guild TIEs gets an extra die just for being smaller than his enemy 🤷‍♂️

I did some reflection and yeah, if it only applied to speed 4 and 5 it's good but not stupid. If it applies to 3 speed though...

He’d be great yeah. But nothing is gonna be so broken about him that proper points won’t keep in check.

If by nightmare you mean “look down a straight line” then boy we have very different nightmares.

I've seen people have very "interesting" interpretations of the straight line for an arc at range 1. I think trying to accurately measure that same straight line for a target over 3 feet away is going to be orders of magnitude worse. What game components are you going to use to see if a ship in the opposite corner of the play area is in arc or not?

What about 'speed of your maneuver is higher than that of the opposing ship'?

Okay that seems potentially balanced and *incredibly interesting.*. I'm in!

How are you making sure it's in arc way out there? Thanks for being an *** about it, though.

its super irrelevant, because thats not what his ability text says

I struggle to see how anyone who has been involved in a sub millimetre arc check thinks performing said arc check at 2 and a half foot away will be anything other than a total nightmare.

I had a final dice roll at the wknd, on the edge of R1, that had the TO calling us bastards for making him decide it

Sure, why don't you explain to us how it works then? Because at opposite corners of the board, facing off the board edge, shooting at each other doesn't make any ****** sense.

of course it doesn't, you're missing the entire point.

As are you. There is no tool in the game for making such an attack.

I think his point is that according to the rules the firing arc extends only to range 3 so attacks outside of range 3 wouldn't have to be performed in arc. This is of course unless the ability in question has more text that would force to measure arc beyond range 3, or the rules change.
