General - Range vs Arc

[deltaangelfire]

Based on the previous Charles Tucker ruling ("Crew Charles Tucker III- Cannot use his action if an opponent is within range 3 of a ship with a 360 degree firing arc.") Do the following now work?

Soong - After performing a 5 [forward] Maneuver, if there are no enemy ships in your forward firing arc, you may perform an [evade] Action as a free Action.
Can the Soong take this bonus evade if there are enemy ships in it's forward arc, but they are all beyond range 3?

Fighters + Barrage of Fire
Can the fighters resource (which only fires at range 1-2) assist in a Barrage of Fire attack where the target is at range 3 or greater?

Yes the Soong Type ship can take its action if there are enemy ships in its forward arc, but they are all beyond range 3.

The Barrage of Fire has a Range of 1-2, so it can’t be used when either of the ships are at Range 3.

If the initiating ship is at range 2, is it possible for the assisting fighters to be at range 1 from the initiator but range 3 from the target?

[stawrulesteam]

If the initiating ship is at range 2, is it possible for the assisting fighters to be at range 1 from the initiator but range 3 from the target?

No, for two reasons.

Both ships (attacker and assisting) must be within range 2 of the target ship.

The fighters may not attack at range 3.
