Multiple questions - tbeams, asteroids, modifying die

[Thrawn86 121]

I didn't want to spam the board, so I'll ask multiple questions here. I only play casually with family and friends, so please bear with me. 

 

1: If I use a t-beam to place an enemy ship on an asteroid, what exactly happens besides that ship not being able to fire? What happens to that ship the next round? Does it roll an attack die immediately after being placed on the asteroid? Does it lose an action the following round?

 

2: If I have a ship with marksmanship and cluster missiles, do both attacks get modified?

 

3: I have a bomber with crackshot, attacking a x-wing with a focus token. The attacker rolls 3 hits, the defender 2 eyeballs. The rule book makes it sound like crackshot has to be used before the defending x-wing's final modification of die (page 5 of rules ref). Does this mean that the defender could use his focus token to get two evades, and crackshot can't do anything about it?

 

"The attacker can resolve any card abilities that allow him to modify the defense die. Then the defender can modify his defense die."

 

4: A bomber drops a proximity mine, and a rebel ship does a k-turn through it. The rebel ship takes a crit (thrust control fire). Does the rebel ship just get 2 stress tokens and complete the k-turn?

 

Thanks!

1: The ship rolls for damage as if it had manoeuvred over the asteroid.  If it has not yet fired, it cannot fire unless it has some way of doing so whilst on an asteroid.  Next round it is treated no different from any other ship on an asteroid, if its movement template crosses the rock, it rolls for damage and skips its action, if not, it doesn't.

 

2: Yes.

 

3: No.  Crack Shot happens after the results have been compared, after all the dice have been modified.  Check the FAQ, it was errated and your copy may not be up to date.

 

4: Yes, no reason why it would not, same as doing a red through a debris cloud.  It's only if you reveal a red manoeuvre whilst stressed that you have a problem.

Excellent, thank you. So to clarify, if my defender uses a tbeam to place a ship on the back of a big asteroid, that ship rolls for a damage during the combat phase, and then during the next round it also rolls for damage and skips its action during the activation phase? That's brutal!

Next round it only skips its action and rolls damage IF its movement template touches the rock.  If the template doesn't touch the rock, it moves and takes and action normally, just as any other ship which starts on a rock would.
