mikemcmann 359 Posted May 3, 2016 Talking about jamming field While I doubt they "meant" to break all engagements in the field, it does based on the wording. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lyraeus 4,759 Posted May 3, 2016 The card for contested outpost says it does not obstruct... attacks The station does not obstruct attacks Bingo! Looks like I missed that as well. . . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonKarnage 189 Posted May 3, 2016 The card for contested outpost says it does not obstruct... attacks The station does not obstruct attacks Which is why we're having this slightly silly conversion =) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drasnighta 26,832 Posted May 3, 2016 The card for contested outpost says it does not obstruct... attacks The station does not obstruct attacks Which is why we're having this slightly silly conversion =) Silly to Some. RAW vs RAI to others. Asking for Clarification is indeed Intent. As you can see from some of my other posts lately, going straight on RAW can be... Silly. But without Intent that's given from those who can give it, its all youv'e got - which can be silly. Yes yes. Far too silly. 1 DonKarnage reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WuFame 1,269 Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) So I got a reply from FFG today. It seems like he's saying that squadron engagement is not obstructed by the station on Contested Outpost. But I also think he didn't really understand the question... Hello, Keith. In response to your question: Rules Question:The Contested Outpost card reads "The station does not obstruct attacks and does not have the ability to discard damage cards or recover hull points" It doesn't say that the the station would not provide obstruction for the purpose of squadron engagement. Is this a correct interpretation? Does the station still provide obstruction for the purpose of squadrons being engaged or not when playing the Contested Outpost objective? While playing Contested Outpost, the station does not obstruct line of sight or attacks between squadrons as well as ships. Thanks for your question!

Drasnighta 26,832 Posted June 16, 2016 If it does not obstruct line of sight (separate to obstructing attacks), then it does not stop engagement, as engagement is based on line of sight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WuFame 1,269 Posted June 16, 2016 Right, I was just typing that. I still don't think he quite understood the question though, and I think it's going to be a whole new can of worms come Jamming Field. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drasnighta 26,832 Posted June 16, 2016 There's a lot on the "Hoping for an FAQ" field come Wave 3 and Wave 4... Not much we can do with the things we've discussed to death as it is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
