The scenario rules say:
"DURING THE ACTIVATION PHASE, any ship that is caught within the wave (i.e. whose base is within the appropriate Range of the E edge of the play area) must immediately roll 4 attack dice (prior to taking any Actions) and apply the following changes to that ship for each die:"


and then says:

"A ship that is caught within the SDW may avoid some of the effects of the wave by spending its Action and disabling all of its remaining Active Shields. If it does so, only 1 attack die is rolled against that ship instead of 4 that round. Place a Critical Hit Token on that ship’s Ship Card."


When exactly during its Activation does the ship make the roll for the wave?

In this scenario a ship would roll for the effects of the wave after it moves and takes it's action.

do you judge whether or not you're within the wave at the beginning of the Activation Phase (before you move or perform actions)? Or after you perform your maneuver?

When the Wave passes your ship, do the effects continue every round that you are on the other side of it?

Does it count as one attack for fighter squadrons?

How does Polarized Hull Plating - "When your ship is hit, convert 1 CRITICAL into 1 HIT result" interact when rolling a critical result on the spacial wave distortion?

If at any time during the activation phase you are caught in the wave it will affect you, even if you move out of it.
