I wanted to check with y'all about a issue currently debated in my play group. As we understand it, if a ship were to begin its turn in base contact with a blast marker, it counts as moving through the blast marker (SO... -5 movement), but someone in our group has suggested that as it is in base contact with the blast marker, it may also count has having its shields down. If a ship is hit in a previous turn, and produces enough blast markers to suppress its shields, does it have to roll for damage (6 on a d6), for passing through the marker, when it moves in the next turn?
For the Emperor!
