[Ionized Actions in Scenarios]

No, during the Perform Action step, an ionized ship can perform only the focus action

[Commandant Goran Ability Clarification]

Correct, the chosen ship does not need to have a non-stress red token to be able to gain the evade.

[Suffering a crit, shields and objectives]

Yes, in both cases you are still suffering critical damage, you are just losing a shield instead of being dealt a faceup damage card.

[Garven Dreis]

No, there still needs to be an ability with a cost that requires payment (in this example, a focus token). The Tie/FO pilot, Static is the best example, requiring you to spend both a lock and a focus token to change all of your results to critical results. Focus results do not need to have been rolled.

[Pattern Analyzer and linked action?]

It operates in the same manner as step 3 of the Activation Phase does:

Step 3: Perform Action: The ship may perform one action.

Pattern Analyzer is allowing you to perform an action - abilities that trigger off performing an action can then enter the ability queue and be resolved. 

Compare this to Advanced Sensors: 

After you reveal your dial, you may perform 1 action.

If you do, you cannot perform another action during your activation.

In this case, the card is specifically telling you that after you perform the action allowed by Advanced Sensors, you cannot perform any more actions during that ship's activation.

[Gar Saxon (Crew) wording?]

Ships and remotes are Units

[Pride of Mandalore]

Some upgrade cards have keyword restrictions on them. The Ship Points document has a Keywords column listing keywords for the relevant pilots.

You can use these to determine whether or not an upgrade can be used by a specific pilot.

[Vader and New Tech Slot]

Yes, Darth Vader's (TIE Adv. X1) pilot ability would trigger after each action, so long as he had the available force charges.

[Commandant Goran Errata]

The Autothrusters ship ability was removed in error and has been replaced in the latest version of the errata document.

[Errata Cards]

Proxies of cards printed using the official errata provided by AMG will be legal at official tournaments so long as they are presented alongside the original official cards

[Capt Hark cannot pivot?]

Yes, Captain Hark's (Galactic Empire, Gauntlet) pilot ability functionally eliminates the ability to rotate while the Swivel Wings (Configuration) upgrade is equipped.

[shooting remotes at range 0]

Yes, remotes would be valid targets following the new rules for range 0 attacks.

[Ionizing Questions]

If a ship becomes ionized after the Planning Phase (and therefore has been assigned a dial) but before it has activated during the Activation Phase, it activates as normal. During the next Planning Phase, if the ship is still ionized, it is not assigned a dial and proceeds with the ion maneuver during the Activation Phase. After the ship finishes this activation, it removes all of its ion tokens.

The rules surrounding Ionisation have been updated since this was first answered.

Under the current rules (as of this edit on 17th of October 2022), the ship would perform the Ion Maneuver when it Activates based on the dial set during Planning. At the end of the ships Activation, if it executed an Ion Maneuver, it removes all of it's ion tokens and is no longer Ionized.

[Scenerio scoring vs rules reference.]

The rules for Mission Points included in the Rules Reference Guide, including points for half destroyed ships, are included for players who wish to play without a scenario. When a scenario is played, its individual scoring rules are used and overrule the Mission Points entry in the RRG.

[75 / 200 Dogfight Tournament play]

Players are free to play Star Wars: X-Wing however they choose, it's your table, have fun with it! At official tournaments however, the latest rulesets will be used, including scenario play.

[Drop a set of Cluster Mines]

A device cannot be placed so that a portion of the device would be outside the play area. If this would happen, play is reversed to before the device was placed—the device is not placed, any charges spent and other costs paid are recovered, and the player can choose to not place that device.

While a Cluster Mines set consists of 3 individual devices they are still part of a whole. If while dropping a Cluster Mine set one of the devices would be placed outside of the play area, the entire set cannot be placed.

[Thermal Detonators]

Yes, you must declare how many Thermal Detonators you will drop in the round, and spend the appropriate number of charges, before dropping them. 

[Thane Kyrell]

Yes, the critical damage information remains hidden to the player who controls the damaged ship and is only revealed to the player controlling Thane Kyrell (T-65 X-Wing)

[Han Gunner + Perceptive Copilot]

Yes, Perceptive Copilot (crew) allows you to gain 1 focus token after you perfom a focus action regardless of difficulty

[Repairing damage with Republic R2-D2 (Astromech)]

Yes, both facedown and faceup damage cards can be repaired.

If a faceup damage card is repaired, it is flipped facedown. If a facedown damage card is repaired, it is discarded.

[Spending focus token with no focus results in roll]

Yes, so long as it falls within the correct timing window and there is a cost to be paid.

The Tie/FO pilot Static is the best example, allowing you to spend both a lock and a focus token to change all of your results to critical results. Focus results do not need to have been rolled in order for this ability to be triggered.

[R2-D2 (Astromech/Republic) wording clarification]

R2-D2 (Atromech, Galactic Republic) can remove any object listed as a device in the latest rules reference guide.

[nien nunb and dareddevil]

You don't gain the stress token until AFTER you have attempted the boost (whether you fail or succeed), and can't trigger Nien Numb's (T-70 X-Wing) until that point.

[Can I spend a focus token if my dice roll does not produce eyeballs?]

No, a ship cannot spend a focus token to change focus results to evade or hit results if it does not have any focus results.

[Babu Frik Ions and System Phase]

If a ship becomes ionized after the Planning Phase (and therefore has been assigned a dial) but before it has activated during the Activation Phase, it activates as normal. As the ship is ionized, it will only be able to perform a focus action.

During the next Planning Phase, if the ship is still ionized, it is not assigned a dial and proceeds with the ion maneuver during the Activation Phase.
