Topic: Rule Questions: Damage Timing

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

Re: Rule Questions: Damage Timing

Fighter Attacks
It is by Flight, as it is considered a single attack

Asteroid Filed
All Damage in that Hex, as it is considered a single attack

Explosions
All rolls from a Single Ship, as it is treated as a Single attack.

Regarding ship Facet impact, That's how I would treat it.

All fighters in a flight attack simultaneously.

All damage from a single hex is applied simultaneously.

The initial explosion should be resolved completely. Any secondary explosions are then resolved simultaneously.

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?

Sounds as good a resolution as any.
