Clarifications

Card Text

Modification.

Ignition [Long]

Ignition Red T: Each other ship at distance 1 of the defender suffers 2 damage, and each squadron at distance 1 of the defender suffers 1 damage.

Timing

This Upgrade Card may be resolved during the Resolve Damage step.1

Clarifications

  • The damage inflicted by this effect granted by this Upgrade Card is not an attack, it is a critical effect. Therefore this damage cannot be reduced or cancelled by defense tokens, nor can any card effects that involve moving or reducing damage 'from an attack' be utilized.1
  • When this Upgrade Card causes a ship to suffer damage, it is suffered on one chosen hull zone chosen by the defender.1
  • This Upgrade Card cannot cause a proximity mine token to suffer damage, as it is a token and not a ship or squadron.1

Objective Interactions

  • This Upgrade Card will affect unarmed or armed stations at distance 1 of the defender to suffer damage. Stations are treated as a ship when resolving effects.1

Card Text

Modification.

Ignition [Medium]

Ignition Red T: The defender suffers 1 damage. This occurs once for each red or blue T icon in the pool.

Timing

This Upgrade Card may be resolved during the Resolve Damage step.1

Clarifications

  • The damage inflicted by this effect granted by this Upgrade Card is not an attack, it is a critical effect. Therefore this damage cannot be reduced or cancelled by defense tokens, nor can any card effects that involve moving or reducing damage 'from an attack' be utilized.1
  • Because the wording of this Upgrade Card is 'this occurs once...', the defender will choose a new hull zone (or the same hull zone) for each instance of damage triggered by this Upgrade Card.1

Upgrade Interactions

  • A ship defending against an attack using both this Upgrade Card and XI-7 Turbolasers may suffer each damage from this Upgrade Card's critical effect on any of its hull zones, one at a time. The XI-7 effect will prevent the defender from redirecting more than 1 of the the total damage dealt during the 'resolve damage' step.1
