Self-controlling dilemmas
Posted: Fri Sep 24, 2021 10:26 am
I would like clarifications on these questions:
So when a self-controlling dilemma "attacks all ships here", does it attack each one individually? Are all opposing ships allowed to return fire at once?
Say I have 4x Type 9 Shuttlecraft and Planet Killer is attacking. What happens?
Does Planet Killer damage all of them at once (weapons 10 vs shields 5) and then move along?
Does Planet Killer damage all of them, then get damaged itself (combined weapons 20 vs shields 16), then move along?
Does Planet Killer damage one of them, then get return fire from all of them which damages it, then damages another one, then get return fire from all of them which damages and destroys it?
Does Planet Killer damage all of them, but get destroyed because when it attacks each ship, each creates a separate 'enagement' wherein all shuttles can return fire (thus, 4x return fire battle damage), thus producing enough return fire damage to destroy it at the end of the battle?
Why does the rulebook sidebar introduce the term 'engagement' without defining it anywhere?
