On the new FAQ

The new text for attacking through obstructions should read when measuring the range during combat if the edge of the ruler between closest points of the two ships over laps an obsticle token then the attack is obstructed

But on page two when meassuring wth the ranage ruler does the entire width of the ruler matter?

no players should use single side of the ranage ruler when measuring. also the width of the ruler does not matter when determining if an obsticle obstructs an attack

this happaned last night very late during a freindly

I was hidden behind an obsticle and claimed an extra defense die for being hidden as the ruler width covered the obsticle

but my openent used the the ruler on its edge and claimed i was in full veiw

my thinking is one is for meassuring defense and one is for measuuring attack

You measure from the attackers base to to the defenders base at the closes point within the firing arc of the attacker. With the skinny edge of the range ruler…if it goes over an asteroid, the defender gets the additional die.

I found a laser level that projects a fine beam across a flat surface; I plan to use that.

by the way that's quite the typo you got there in the thread title. How's that happen?

Thank you

I also meant to add he used the two Front guides at the base which I thought was not allowed but it changed the way the ruler lined up just enough to make my ship viable But when I questioned it I could not find the section of the rules that covered it.

Combination of crap spelling and iPhone and also predictive text

I apologise if I offend

I believe it is on page 10 of the rules that you do not use the guides when determining firing arc or measuring range.
