Fighter Attacks (5.4)
Is the effect if fighter damage applied after each fighter in the fight fires or after the entire flight fires?  For example, if the first fighter in the flight hits and caused shield damage, does this reduce the interception value for other fighters in that flight?

Asteroid Fields (G.1)
Similarly, if a ship moves through an hex containing and asteroid field is the effect of asteroid field damage applied after each To Hit/Impact roll or after all damage from that hex is determined?  For example, if the a ship moved through a hex contain two asteroid fields and the first of two "attacks" caused shield damage, does this reduce the interception value for the next asteroid field roll?

Explosions (E.3)
Another question similar to the above questions. When damage is caused by ship explosions, does the effect of damage get applied A) immediately after each To Hit/Impact roll, B)after all rolls from a single ship explosion are resolved, or C) after all explosions are resolved (prior to resolving any "chain reactions").

If a ship explodes in the same hex as another ship I assume that the direction of fire for purposes of faceted shielding (B.15) is determined randomly. If this correct?

Thanks,
Jeff

When an asteroid field or mine is hitting a ship, how you determine which shield facet is "facing" the asteroid field or mine?  This is required for determining the impact roll required and which facet has to be hit if a 3 or more is rolled when damaging a shield facet.

Thanks,

The choice is up to the defending player. (That's not in the rulebook -- I just made it up. smile)

Just to clarify.  Are you indicating that:
a) the defender could spread the required shield hits to both of the facing shield facets if desired (or apply it to just one as he desires), or
b) the defender must pick one of the two shield facets and apply the required hits on only that shield facet?

Thanks,

Faceted Shield Question
I know that for the impact roll if the line of sight crosses between two hexsides you use the lower of the relevant facet ratings.  But if you must damage the facing shield facet how is that handled?
