Deploying a ship after drawing a second card
Ruling issued on November 21th 2024

Situation:
The rules state that if I draw a second card, I cannot deploy ships or structures during that turn, and can only play actions or reactions. I have the Terran ship Carrier in play, which has an action that allows me to deploy a ship. Can I use this action to draw a second card and still deploy a ship?

Ruling:
Yes. The Carrier's action is not a deployment but an ability, allowing you to deploy a ship even after drawing a second card, provided the deployed ship meets the requirements of the Carrier's action.
