Need some clarity on a large-based ship (shuttle in the Empire) having one ion token. What happens with that? Focus on every turn? Permitted to coordinate? Thanks!
Large base requires 3 ion tokens to be ionized. If you only have one token you just carry it with you and will have no effect until you gather 3 ion tokens
Just a bit of clarification. An ionized ship can be coordinated, but the only action it can perform by being coordinated is a focus action. If it already performed a focus action it can't perform a second focus action, but it was still successfully coordinated.
Under the Ion rules there is a clarification point that states "Ships cannot use abilities that trigger from an ionized ship revealing its dial". The component of the "Open: Grappling Struts" ability that causes the execute maneuver to be skipped depending on the move is triggered by an "After you reveal your dial" clause. As a result this ability cannot be used by the Ionized ship and the Ionized ship would execute the Ion Maneuver during step two potentially landing off the rock. It would then follow on with the rest of the steps for activating while ionized. forums.atomicmassgames.com/topic/7330-grappling-struts-and-ionized/#comment-37826
Your videos are excellent. You have helped my family and I to learn to play the game! I will be joining your discord soon.
Thank you for the kind words. I am trying to carve out more time for other videos as soon as I can!
Commendable video! Appreciate the ION highlighting 👍

Very helpful
I only play casually but I really appreciate this type of video! Thank you! Sub'd
will you also be doing similar videos regarding Jamming (and False Transponder Codes) and Tractoring after the 2.5 rules changes?
Yes we will!

Hey, love your video. I have a question, what happens if I Ionize a separatist ship that is parked on an asteroid?

But it's a defender and you grt a free lock from a 3 to 5 move anyway
Would Bain be able to snapshot if he is ionized? Or is he a medium base?
Ionization doesn't affect snapshot.
