Cricket,
I was wondering about the interaction between weapons with the Seeker trait and Flares. My belief is that face up Flare markers are only considered at the time that the seeking weapon is "launched", much in the same way that range and arcs are. My argument is that the Flares only disrupt the initial targeting.
However, I have a friend that has made the argument that since the seeking weapon has to "pass" or move through Flare markers that are placed face up on the turn the seeking weapon makes its attack (like modern day aircraft flares/chaff) that they should be counted instead. His primary reasoning is that Attack Dice aren't determined until this point, so this is where Flares should have their effect, which I can somewhat see as making some sense. If this is the case, it would tend to make Flares more effective as they could be deployed somewhat "reactively"
Please resolve our disagreement oh Great and Mighty Final Arbiter of all things Starmadish.   
Cheers,
Erik
