Hey Everybody,

We had not played in awhile but had a really fun 5 man game recently.  Only one rules issue came up:  the Mechad distortion cannon that fires at the start of weapons fire and hits every ship and base in an opponent fleet.  The question involves one of everyone's favorite cards:  The Vektrean Asteroid Starbase.  Does the distortion cannon affect the shields on the Vektrean because it is a base, or does it not have any effect because it can only be damaged as terrain, and a distortion cannon does not affect terrain?  I will be interested in hearing the input on this one.

The T/Bs are played as terrain and damaged as a terrain, but are considered bases for all other purposes.

We've always played that the Distortion Cannon would hit the shields.

Yep.

Our house rule has been that if it has shields, it gets hit. That
means planetary shields, etc., even on promo terrain.

Once the shield is gone off a promo terrain or an asteroid base
though, the distortion cannons don't have any effect on the structure
of the asteroid base or terrain, as per the rulebook.
