Rulings applying to this card
Rulings are official clarifications on the way ambiguous rules or card texts should be interpreted.
Choosing to ignore a reaction
Ruling issued on November 22nd 2024
Situation:
I deploy the Pirate ship Mecha Suit, which has a reaction that causes a durability loss to another ship when it is deployed. My opponents currently have no ships in play. Am I forced to cause a durability loss to one of my own ships?
Ruling:
No. Since this effect is a reaction, you can choose whether or not to activate it.
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 durability restoring effect during combat
Ruling issued on November 18th 2024
Situation:
I have an Energy Collector, which is about to be destroyed in combat. Spending Invader resources restores my Energy Collector's durability. Can I play an action to spend Invader resources, restoring my Energy Collector's durability and saving it from being destroyed in combat?
Ruling:
Actions pause the game in its current state. If you play the action before your opponent attacks your Energy Collector, then yes, you can restore its durability and potentially save it. However, if you wait until after your opponent has announced their attack, it is too late: the Energy Collector will already have been destroyed.
