Talk:Proton Bombs/@comment-14859286-20130813162009

I would just like to clarify the shield 'bypassing' capability of the proton bomb (as many people are confused because the card does not say 'ignores shields' on it) The proton bomb rules insert says "deal one face-up damage card to each ship in range 1".

Shields prevent damage. The bomb technically does not deal damage, rather it gives ships a face up card.

Yes, Chewbacca can turn the card into a normal hit.

Yes, a ship is destroyed when it has damage cards equal to or greater than its hull; meaning it can still be destroyed even if it still has shields remaining.

This information has been stated by FFG, itself.
