Rulings applying to this card
Rulings are official clarifications on the way ambiguous rules or card texts should be interpreted.
Additional costs as part of a failed action
Ruling issued on November 19th 2024
Situation:
I have a Trading Station in play, which has an action allowing me to place a card at the bottom of my arsenal in exchange for a resource. I activate this action, but an opponent uses a reaction, causing its action to fail. Do I still need to place the card at the bottom of my arsenal?
Ruling:
No. If the action fails, none of its effects occur. You keep the card in your hand.
Destroying a ship before it self-destructs
Ruling issued on November 19th 2024
Situation:
I deploy the Pirate ship Scrapper, which requires me to destroy another one of my own ships when it is deployed. I have a Stolen Cruiser in play, which says it is removed from play when I deploy another ship. Can I choose my Stolen Cruiser to be destroyed by the Scrapper before it self-destructs?
Ruling:
Yes, you can do that. Effects are resolved in order, one by one. First, the Scrapper is deployed, and you resolve its effect by destroying your Stolen Cruiser. Once it is done, any other effects are processed, which would have included the Stolen Cruiser destroying itself if you had not chosen to destroy it.
Using a conditional action after it has failed
Ruling issued on November 19th 2024
Situation:
I have the Neutral ship Mobile Base in play, which can use an action up to once per turn. I activate its action, but an opponent uses the Terran reaction Power Surge to cause it to fail. Since the action did not actually happen, can I use it again?
Ruling:
No. Even though the action failed, the Mobile Base's action has already been used for the turn, so it cannot be used again this turn.
