Q) If an attack using Concussive Charges or Energy Dissipator is countered with feedback pulse, what happens to the addition effect of the weapon? Are tokens still removed and an EDT applied?

A) As long as there is a single hit in the damage pool (after evades etc) then the defending ship is counted as being hit. That would mean an EDT token is applied to the defending ship, even tho no damage is actually assigned to the defending ship. For Concussive Charges, a token would be removed for each damage result in the damage pool and then 50% of that damage is reflected. e.g. 2 damage = remove 2 tokens and reflect 1 damage. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30223400/Official.jpg AParks: http://boardgamegeek.com/article/15483236#15483236

Q) If an attack using Quantum Torpedoes is affected by Feedback Pulse, what happens to the Quantum's free hit?

A) If any of the attack dice do hit, the extra hit is included in the damage total which is halved and reflected.

E.g.

1) Quantum Torpedoes attack. Roll 3 hits (as an example).

2) Targeted ship rolls evade dice as normal. 0 evades.

3) Attack has "hit". add 1 [hit] result to the total damage. 4 total damage is being inflicted.

4) Feedback Pulse looks at the total damage (4), deals half to the attacker (2) and negates the rest (2).

Q) Can you activate feedback pulse in response to a feedback pulse used by your opponent?

A) No. Feedback Pulse states "when defending" damage is assigned to the attacking ship. If your ship is the attacking ship, it is not defending.

Q) If I use feedback pulse, when should it be activated? Is it after the attacker has committed upgrades (e.g. disabled a torpedo)?

A) "Yes, It is before the attack dice are rolled. The timing is the same as using a defensive card like Varel."

Q) Does the defender have to roll defense dice (if any) before the Feedback Pulse is resolved?

A) The defender still rolls defense dice (if any) as normal.
