If a ship equipped with Flechette Torpedoes performs a counter attack (granted by a card ability such as Quad Laser Turrets combined with Agent Kallus or General Draven), spending a black die with crit icon to toggle a squadrons slider that is already activated has no effect.

As a note, if an unactivated squadron being granted an attack by another ability such as Colonel Jendon, a black die with crit icon could be spent to toggle that squadrons activation slider to the activated side.

Flechette Torpedoes is not affected by the faceup damage card Targeter Disruption. As a black dice with the critical icon is “spent” to trigger a card effect, and is not a critical effect.
