Timing

The initial effect of this card triggers when that ship is deployed “during the Deploy Ships step of setup”. The second part of this Upgrade Card may then resolve when one of your ships activates and “reveals” its command dial.

Clarifications

This Upgrade Card would not gain any command tokens on this card 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.

Only a ship’s “revealed” dial may be discarded to clear raid tokens. This Upgrade Card’s dials are “gained” not “revealed” and thus may not be used to clear Raid tokens. This Upgrade Card’s dials can be turned into a token that may be then 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

Upgrades that trigger and resolve, or resolve on, that ship’s “revealed” dial, do not trigger on this Upgrade Card’s “gained” dial. Examples include; Clone Navigation Officer, Navigation Officer, Engineering Captain, Tactical Expert, Wing Commander, Weapons Liaison, Defense Liaison, and Support Officer.

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

If a ship does not “reveal” a command because it chose to discard it due to a card effect such as Crew Panic or another effect, then you cannot resolve this Upgrade Card’s effect.

A ship with this Upgrade Card as well as the Crew Panic damage card may reveal a normal command dial as well as gain this Upgrade Card’s dial, and only suffer 1 damage (not 2), as Crew Panic only affects the ship dial.
