Vorlon Fighter Anti Fighter

[Clanger]

Just a quick q regarding Vorlon Fighter anti fighter.

If another fighter moves into dogfight with a Vorlon Fighter. Does the anti fighter from the Vorlon kick in before the dogfight starts or because it is in a dogfight the anti fighter is null and void?

It says quite clearly on page 28:

some special fighters may also have the Anti-Fighter trait, which may be used just before a dogfight is initiated, as enemy fighters move into contact (if opposing fighters have the trait, they are resolved simultaneously). Once the dogfight has started, the trait may not be used.

Just wanted to make sure

It should be noted that ALL fighters can have 'antifighter dice' given to them by escort ships so its actually quite an important rule (and our local Drazi player has taken to flying wings of Sky Serpents escorted by Guardhawks, potentially nasty indeed )

I like that , it should catch some people off A couple of times before they catch on. Should be pretty fun.

With the Vorlon fighter can he initiate the dogfight and use his anti-fighter gun before dogfighting begins?

I've not seen any reason why not. It does break MGP's idea that the ancients should be bad at dogfighting though...

What happens if a Vorlon fighter is attcking a ship that has a fighter supporting? When the supporting fighter dogfights the attcking ship, does the Vorlon fighter get to use its AF?

 

[nekomata fuyu]

Yup, fighters get to use their AF before the dogfight starts. Also, don't forget that AF can be used with a 2" range, and not just against the fighter attacking you. This means that you could use it against the original target regardless.
