How do Suicide Fighters work exactly (Gaim/Dilgar) ?

[Green_Knight]

may be this has been asked before, but i cant find it all together:

so Gaim and Dilgar have suicide Fighter, first when do they explode
(at the end of the movement phase ?)

Does any of these rules apply to them:
- Anti-Fighter
- Interceptors
- Shields
- GEG

thanks in advance

I believe they hit in the fighter attack phase but not 100% on that.

As to whether the other defences work:

Anti-Fighter: Yes
Interceptors: No
Shields: Yes
GEG: Yes, but not if they crit of course!

There is actually nothing in the rules to say interceptors don't work against Dilgar suicide fighters. It is stated that they don't work against Gaim.

Can you use the scouts reroll for suicide fighter attacks?

I hope there is goint ot be a standardisation on Gaim and Dilgar suicide fighters.

Dilgar can be recovered, Gaim cant. How so, crashing fighters make bad use for new pilots.
