Comms Net

[Squadron] and [Repair] commands must be resolved before upgrades that resolve “after the Reveal Command Dial step” unless another upgrade’s effect modifies the timing of those commands (such as Flight Commander).

Reference

This effect can only be resolved after the Reveal Command Dial step of the ship with this card equipped.

As per RRG and the FAQ, Comms Net can only assign a matching token to another ship AFTER the reveal command dial step, which is when a player MUST declare if the dial is going to be used as a dial, or spend that dial to take a matching command as a token.

The Life Support Failure critical card prevents a flotilla from being able to save tokens, thus unable to Comms Net them.

The officer Wulff Yularen does not work with Comms Net, as the token is “removed and assigned” not “spent”.

The officer Commander Vanto has a unique timing opportunity with Comms Net. When you reveal a Repair or Squadron command. Those Dials “Resolve after revealing the ships command dial.”. Meaning, you can resolve one of those commands, then Exhaust Commander Vanto and gain a token, and now “After the Reveal Command Dial Step” you can use Comms Net to move that gained token.

Currently the timing on this is VERY technical and may not be intended by the developers. This has been forwarded to them.

Steps broken down to do Vanto and Comms net.

1. Reveal Command dial. Example, Squadron. Declare using the dial.
2. Per RRG “Resolve after revealing the ships command dial.” So currently IN “After reveal command dial” timing window. Resolve command.
3. Squadron command has resolved, exhaust Vanto and gain a token of your choice.
4. Now “After the Reveal Command Dial Step” use Comms Net to send the token to another ship.

Officers such as Raymus Antilles,Taskmaster Grint, Veteran Captain, share the same timing of “When you reveal a command”. Meaning, when you gain a token from their card effect, you cannot remove that token to assign to another ship, and then turn the revealed dial into a token to also assign to another ship. As stated, the passing of tokens with Comms Net takes places “after” the Reveal Command Dial step. See last bullet point.

In regards to Grand Admiral Thrawn, when a ship “reveals” its command dial, it also “gains” Thrawn’s dial at the same time. You must declare if these dials will be used and/or gained as tokens. See last bullet point.

You may decide to still turn the revealed (or gained) dial into a token, but it would replace any token currently on that ship. Note, this only affects Command 1 value ships, if in the future, a Card ability, or higher Command value ship can take this Fleet Support Card. This section will be updated.
