To  nstigate a boarding action, the craft must be adjacent to the target vessel and moving at the same speed. A roll of 11 or more on a d20 immediately transfers the combat unit to the target vessel."  Good catch.  Yep.  I'll change it to reflect the verbiage in the Colonial Support Vessel's ECM.  Good catch!  Good catch!  I'm in two minds, and that depends on whether I introduce the ability to Ready Actions.  If so, then the quick decloak-fire-cloak combo works quite well because ships can be waiting for it to decloak and then fire.  If I don't add an ability to Ready Actions, then instead the cloak will need to be once per turn only. Very much open to opinions on that!</blockquote>
