"During activation" isn't really defined. I think, in both of these cases, it would be an acceptable use of Ahsoka, but I want to be sure.
1. I have a squadron token, and reveal a squadron dial - can I use Ahsoka to turn the squadron token into a concentrate fire token, and Then turn the squadron dial into a squadron token?
2. If I use Hondo to give a ship an engineer token, and then take a concentrate fire dial. When I reveal the dial, and I use Ashoka to turn the engineering token into a squadron token in time to discard it (in order to activate boarding party?
I think in both cases I can, since I get to choose the order of simultaneous actions (and "during activation" to me, can include "when a dial is revealed") but timing seems to be pretty important (and maybe the most misunderstood part of the game).
