Hello!

I imagine I know the answer to this question, but I would still like clarification. When using a Heavy Laser Cannon, it states that you must change all the crits to hits "immediately after rolling your attack dice". Does this rule hold when re-rolling dice? For instance, I roll my four dice, get a crit, a hit, and two blanks. I change the crit to a hit but then I spend a target lock to re-roll the two misses and it comes up with another crit and another hit. Do I change that crit to a hit and do I end up with three hits and a crit or four hits?

Thanks in advance!

For re-rolling it does not count. You can keep this hit and crits if they come up.

From FAQ:

Q: If a ship attacks with Heavy Laser Cannon, can it modify attack dice to get a [crit] result?

A: Yes. All [crit] results on attack dice are immediately changed to [hit] results after they are first rolled, and then the dice may be modified as normal.

Re-rolling counts as modifying.

Agree with Ken. There is an official response from FFG posted at BGG here: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/13351917#13351917 , that confirms it.

Ah, right, the FAQ. Oops. Thanks!
