Is it done during a Damage step in combat or is it used in the Management phase? This would change whether or not the 3 cost news from the Exiled set would save a ship anyone have an idea?

Re:After getting the snot kicked out of me - 2007/10/26 03:20Thrasher's ability can be played anytime at all... except during the management phase that Thrasher is in the process of warping into an enemy system. (Ships that are warping into an enemy system lose all abilities during that management phase).
This means that, on the offense, Thrasher can open up during the Beginning of Battle step... thus hammering ambushers before they ambush (Withdrawal step), as well as Patrolers or Sensor Dampeners before they do their thing (Target step). They only thing Thrasher does NOT outrun is Kamikaze- you can try to shoot the Kamikaze ship, but he can use it anyway by sacrificing it then and there.
On the defense, Thrasher can open up on enemy ships that are warping in during the opponent's management phase. In this case, Thrasher does outrun Kamikaze, and is one of the very few things that can stop a suicide-bound frigate from going off. This makes getting the drop on a Thrasher with frigates... really rather difficult.
Hope that explains sufficiently.
