The reason evade tokens don't work is, when you spend them they literally add a die to the table with the Evade symbol pointed up. All dice modifications deal with actual dice these days.

That wasn't always the case -- in the original rules, evade tokens cancelled hits/crits directly, and so would have cancelled autoblaster.

The best counter to autoblaster is to avoid range 1. That can be tricky against Nym though, for example, and sometimes simply killing the autoblaster ship quickly is better. If you post your and your son's fleets for us, we'd be happy to give your son some advice!
