Quick question. Lets say with an icarus lascannon score a hit on my opponent (edit) during his movement phase (Edit), he chooses to evade. According to the rules he will have to snap fire for two turns as it says "May only Snap fire until the end of his NEXT turn" Just want to make sure I am reading this right, if so intercept just got a little scarier

No, you are not, UNLESS you fire as interceptor

1) Youre firing as interceptor, then you are on his movement phase of e.g. turn 2. This means he has to evade on turn 2 and his turn 3, as this is his next turn
2) You#'re not firing as interceptor. He evades for ONE turn as this is your shooting phase on your turn

I need to remember this little distinction. Good catch.

Sorry I didnt make this clear, I meant that I was firing on him during his movement phase when he comes on the board. I thought it was implied my apologies
