Stand Down and Prepare to be Boarded (ACTA)

[tschuma]

When in the turn sequence do you roll the opposing crew quality checks? We have been doing it the Movement Phase, but I am begining to think it should be in the Boarding Action Phase after the Firing Phase.

What is the offical ruling?

I'm not official, but as you're still waiting: All SAs take place during the movement phase unless they state otherwise (although the effects of some don't happen until the end phase e.g. All Hands On Deck and Scramble). Stand Down is performed in the movement phase. I'd expect that your ship(s) have to be within the range necessary to accomplish this SA after they've moved, just like they do with Launch Breaching Pods And Shuttles.
