Timing
The initial effect of this card triggers when that ship is deployed “during the Deploy Ships step of setup”, place only 6 command tokens of any type on this card. The second part of this Upgrade Card triggers at the start of each Ship Phase.
Clarifications
This Upgrade Card would not receive any command tokens on this card (and would thus be useless) if the ship it is equipped to is set aside before fleets are deployed, such as by Hyperspace Assault’s Setup effect.
The dial that is “gained” from this Upgrade Card may be turned into a matching command token.
You cannot resolve two dials of the same command. You may use this Upgrade Card’s effect to generate a token if you have revealed the matching command dial. Only a dial, or a token, or a dial + token together may be resolved in the same activation.
This Upgrade Card’s dial cannot be discarded to clear all Raid tokens. Only a ship’s “revealed” dial may be discarded, and this Upgrade Card’s dials are “gained” not “revealed”. However this Upgrade Card’s dial can be turned into a token that may be used to clear a matching Raid token. This would allow a command to be resolved if the ship’s dial is also of that command.
Upgrade Card Interactions
As long as a ship has “revealed” a dial, this Upgrade Card’s dial can be discarded to trigger Boarding Teams, as the squadron dial being discarded does not need to be the one being revealed.
This Upgrade Card’s ability can be resolved before you choose to resolve Fleet Commands, as they share the same timing.
This Upgrade Card’s timing occurs before that of Comms Net, which is after the Reveal Command dial step. Comms Net can send away a token gained from this Upgrade Card. However you may not gain a token from this Upgrade Card, send it to another ship using Comms Net, and then convert your dial to another command token. You also may not use Comms Net to make room for a token gained from this Upgrade Card.
Damage Card Interactions
The Crew Panic damage card only affects the ship’s dial, not this Upgrade Card’s dial as they are “gained” not “revealed”.
