Is there a limit of how many times a ship can fire.

By Wetaas, in X-Wing

Hello

I am new to this fantastic game and i still havent found out about if there is a limit of how many times a ship can fire pr round.

Is it possible for a ship to shoot multiple times. If exsample Slave 1 have torpedos and heavy laser uppgrade. Can he fire 3 times in both directions as long as he takes target lock as acktion for the torpedo.

Hi there, welcome to the forum.

Basically each ship can only shoot one weapon at one target during the Attack Phase. If they have several weapons then you need to choose which one. This is usually either a primary weapon or a secondary weapon (like an ion cannon, heavy laser cannon or missiles/torpedoes). These can have different fire arcs. Some of the large ships can take a crew member called a gunner and this can allow a second attack to be made based on what their card description says. I hope that helps.

See the first paragraph on page 10. Each ship may make one attack. Some upgrades provide exceptions to this: Cluster Missiles, Gunner, and Luke Skywalker (crew version not pilot version).

Echoing what others have said, see the first sentence on page 10 in the rulebook. And there are other cards that will allow you to attack more than once, but generally ships may attack only once per round.

But, the maximum number of attacks you could have with one ship with current upgrade cards is 3:

A Firespray (or Lando or Han) with Cluster Missiles and gunner (or Luke). The first Cluster Missile attack hits, the second Cluster Missile attack misses, then gunner allows for a primary attack. So the number of the attacks may be 3, but only in this specific case.
