Topic: EWS Question

Would having an EWS on your ship counteract the -1 to hit from your own ship (not the target) performing Evasive Maneuvers?

Presumably thats a yes, but many games dont allow you to cancel self-imposed penalties like that.

The way the rule is phrased, the answer would be "yes". However, I think it should be a "no".

Consider that one for the errata.

Officially, yes.

Whether or not this should be the case, I leave open to debate.

Re: EWS Question

Maybe if it was listed as only against fighters..... anti-fighter targeting? 
Not sure.... but it is a thought.
