Rulings are official clarifications on the way ambiguous rules or card texts should be interpreted.
When is a structure in front of a ship
Ruling issued on November 22nd 2024
Situation:
An opponent has the Terran ship Assault Ship facing me, which has a reaction that triggers when I deploy a structure in front of it. If I already have a ship in front of the Assault Ship and deploy a structure behind that ship, does the reaction trigger?
Ruling:
Yes. The Assault Ship's reaction triggers whenever a structure is deployed in its lane, even if a ship is already occupying the space directly in front of it.
Two reactions to the same event triggering simultaneously
Ruling issued on November 20th 2024
Situation:
I deploy the Invader ship Scrap Synthetizer in front of an opponent's Terran ship Assault Ship. My ship has a reaction when deployed, and my opponent's ship has a reaction when a ship is deployed in front of it. Which reaction triggers first?
Ruling:
The Assault Ship's reaction allows it to override reactions of enemy ships or structures deployed in front of it. As per the rules, when two players' reactions occur simultaneously, priority goes to the player not taking their turn. The Assault Ship's reaction resolves first, creating a chain reaction, and leaving no event for the Scrap Synthetizer to react to. Its reaction does not resolve.
