Ion cannon turret range

By chromag33, in X-Wing Rules Questions

I'm new and when the Ion cannon card says (even a ship outside your firing arc) this means outside the arc facing forword, A 360 deg firing arc at range 1-2.Think this is right and I have not seen this question before.I think I am understanding it right.

Yes you are right, the turret are 360*, and range 1-2, but it's a secondary weapon, so it can't benefit from the bonus of distance, greettings.

Thank you very much I guess I needed to hear it from someone else.The power is strong with you

When attacking with a secondery weapon, do we also prevent an additionnal defense die of being used at distance 3?

Yes. You will still get the extra defense die for attacking through an obstacle (ie asteroid) with secondary weapons though.

I read directly from the card, but if you want to read from anyone else, I will do the same, greettings.

Thanks Vorpal Sword thats what I ment, I have not played the game with to many people yet so I have not had the chance to play with all the goodies and all the different cards yet. I feel the dark side with that one?

Chromag33 meant that he needed someone to confirm the way he was interpreting the card. He was thanking you for your help.

Yes I see that, I said that I need a validation of some official scource, greettings.
