I apologize if you were insulted, it was meant as a joke hence following up it up with the silly references. Please accept my humble request for forgiveness.

Now, you say all weapons effects are resolved immediately but then say the effects of ion weapons are delayed until the next turn. So you get a token, so what? What does it matter if I can blast folks out of the stars while waiting for the ship to shut down? Why should Corran Horn get to do a second attack? It either takes effect immediately or it doesn't and assigning a token is not an effect, it's a reminder that ion effects are to be applied later.

Backstory is the entire reason the game is here. The FF developers have done an outstanding job of bringing the movies and novels to life in this game. But we all make mistakes and this ion effect delay (IED, I love acronyms haha) was an oversight. It happens. Making a change might create some growing pains but it's as simple as adding a paragraph to the FAQ and releasing the PDF online. We aren't talking about everyone switching from Microsoft to Apple or vice versa, but a rules errata to fix the IED issue. Edit it, proof it, post it online. I'd be happy to write the paragraph with an example myself. I'm really pushing this so that my stock in Galactic Ion Solitions and Kuat Drive Yards goes up as the sales of ion weapons will be through the roof ;-)
