After the Planning Phase is the Activation Phase in which all of the ships are "activated" one by one starting with the lowest pilot score. This includes revealing the maneuver dial, moving the ship, getting/removing stress, doing an action (if there is no stress token). Once one ship finishes this series of steps, the next lowest pilot skill gets "activated" and goes throught the same steps. If both sides have ships with the same pilot skill, the player with initiative moves his first.

TL;DR kind of, they are revealed one by one, right before the ship moves
