| - | ====== CARD INTERPRETATION ====== | ||
| - | ==== Use of “You” ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Many pilot and ship abilities use the word “you” to refer to the ship card’s | ||
| - | corresponding ship. Upgrade, damage, and condition cards that use the word | ||
| - | “you” refer to the ship to which the card has been dealt or equipped. | ||
| - | Card effects that use “you” always refer to the ship or remote, not the player. | ||
| - | ==== Use of “May,” “Can,” and “Must ” ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | The word “may” is used to mean “has the option to.” For example, an ability | ||
| - | that says “At the start of the Engagement Phase, you may perform a | ||
| - | action,” means that the ship has the option to perform the action, but can | ||
| - | also decline. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The word “can” is used to mean “has the capacity to.” For example, an ability | ||
| - | that says “While you boost or barrel roll, you can move through and overlap | ||
| - | obstacles” means when a ship with this ability boosts or barrel rolls, it ignores | ||
| - | the rules that prevents them from overlapping or moving through obstacles. | ||
| - | The ship always applies this effect as the effect is not optional but instead an | ||
| - | expanded capability. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The word “must” is used to mean “is required to.” Although all effects that are | ||
| - | not “may” effects are mandatory, the inclusion of “must” is used to reiterate a | ||
| - | mandatory effect that could provide a drawback to the ship with the effect. | ||
| - | ==== Once Per Opportunity ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Many abilities are restricted to occur “once per opportunity, | ||
| - | they can be resolved only one time during the specified timing window. For | ||
| - | example, if an ability occurs “At the start of the Engagement Phase,” this | ||
| - | ability can only be resolved once at the start of each Engagement Phase. | ||
| - | |||
| - | As another example, if a ship has the ability “While you perform an attack, | ||
| - | you may reroll 1 attack die,” it may resolve that ability once during each of its | ||
| - | attacks. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== And/Or ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | If an effect refers to results separated by slashes, it means any combination | ||
| - | of those results. For example, if an ability refers to “2 / results” this | ||
| - | would include two results, two results, or one and one result. | ||
