Talk:"Omega Leader"/@comment-70.106.194.71-20180321125525/@comment-454133-20180321160058

The general rule in the rulebook says the word "you" in any rules text (be it an explicit or implied "you") refers to the ship that text is on (be it the pilot card, an equipped upgrade, a condition or damage card, etc). Seen another way, "you" on the Omega Leader pilot card is referring to "you the player" only when you are controlling/looking at omega leader, and thus, refers only to omega leader.

For example, if Omega Leader had a damage card that says "you cannot perform actions except those on damage cards", that's only referring to you as Omega Leader. "You" on omega leader doesn't affect Darth Vader, who doesn't have that damage card, so Vader can continue taking actions normally.

There's rare exceptions where this falls apart because FFG breaks its own rules or isn't explicitly clear. The example that comes to my mind is Jabba the Hutt, where "you" was later interpreted by FFG to not be a part of Jabba's text, and thus refer to you the player not you the ship. Jabba's card presumably just repeats what the rules insert says the tokens do. In other words, the rules text of Illicit Tokens exists outside of any upgrade cards etc and isn't local to any ship (it's in the rules book that comes with the C-ROC), so Jabba saying "you" is actually referring to you the player, not you the ship carrying him. (This same logic appears to have been since extended to Munitions Tokens.)

It's a very special edge case. The general rule otherwise stands -- "you" is the ship the text is on.
