I had some followup questions to this previous one https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/topic/299036-grappling-struts-and-ion/?tab=comments#comment-3766359

1. If my droid is ioned on an asteroid or debris cloud (ADC), struts open, and the 1 forward from the ion still keeps the droid on an ADC I will close the struts after doing the ion maneuver and I will not roll for damage or gain stress.

2. If my droid is ioned in front of an ADC, struts closed, and the 1 forward from the ion puts the droid on an ADC I will open the struts after doing the ion maneuver and I will not roll for damage or gain stress.

3. If my droid, struts closed, is tractored onto an ADC the struts remain closed and I roll for damage or gain a stress.

Not sure I've capture all situations but these 3 we ran into in our last game so wanted to be sure we got it right.

Thx.

Correct.

If you end up on an asteroid with your struts closed, you cannot attack whilst they remain that way.

Which pretty much only apply after tractor effects - a manoeuvre lets you flip the configuration card, and a roll onto a rock via collision detector would let you ignore the rock anyway.

The other situation is that you can potentially be tractored off a rock - in which case your struts will still be open despite being in 'free space' since you need to execute a manoeuvre to close them.

This has the odd effect that you can now move freely but you ignore obstacles that you move through until the end of your execute manoeuvre step.

As noted above, it applies in the specific case where you get ioned on one side of a rock and the ion move doesn't take you past the other side.
