Page 20 of the rule book says under the Moving Into And Through Objects section:

1) Execute the maneuver as normal, but skip the "Perform Action" Step

2) The Player rolls one attack die. The ship then suffers any damage or critical damage rolled.

I ran into this quite a bit at the KRT. The TO said that only applies when you overlap (and his definition of overlap is landing physically on the asteroid).

I meantioned that to people I was playing when they would run through an asteroid to roll damage and remind them that they couldn't take their actions. I have been playing it like that for a while now. The only difference I noticed in the rules were if you ended your move overlaping the obsticle that you also could not fire.

So I though I would check with you guys and make sure that I am not reading the rules wrong. If I am it makes that overlaping critical hit card not that bad.

When a ship executes a maneuver in which either

the maneuver template or the ship’s base physically

overlaps an obstacle token, follow these steps:

Your TO was wrong. You are right. It's very clear in the rule book.

Your TO was wrong. You are right. It's very clear in the rule book.

Yep, TO was wrong. Page 20 says it all clearly.

I had a TO make this ruling incorrectly against me too. Ironically, Hothie and I had had a discussion earlier about this very situation (I think it's actually in a thread here somewhere). We were nearing the end of the round and I didn't want to cause a delay by arguing, so I agreed to lose my attack and kept playing. In the end it did not change the result of the match. After the event I approached the TO and politely asked him to reconsider how to rule on this situation in the future. I pointed out the exact wording on page 20, and Hothie jumped in to support our interpretation. In the end, he agreed that our interpretation was correct and will rule it that way in the future. He was a super nice guy, and it was the most smoothly and efficiently run tournament of the three I had the pleasure to participate in.

I went along with the TO's choice as well. I thought I would put this up here just in case I could have been mistaken. Have been before in the past and sure will be again in the future.

There is a error in the german translation.

The missed the template in that rule.

Just as example

Ok…do I have this straight.

A x-wing want to move (say 3 bank) and this move causes the template to narrowly miss the asteroid - but along the template the ships base will pass over of the asteroid before the ships comes out the other side. To be clear the ship (in its final position) is not touching the asteroid but it did pass over on its movement.

Is it still rolling attack die for possible hit?

Does it lose an action?

RAW - indicate yes!

Are we correct?

Theterrainstudio said:

This is false. Reread the RAW carefully.

Just think about the fact that they specifically mentioned the template overlapping an asteroid. Why would they mention that if you traced the ships path? Considering the ships base is wider then the template and thus would pass over everything the template did.
