Ambassdor questioin

[sten]

We have two questions about the ambassador class in star munchkin :
1) are unequipped ships (that players on the left or right of the ambassador, have on the side) give the same bonus to a neighbor as the equipped ships?
2) Does the antimatter trap card give a negative bonus to an ambassador when applied to a ship on a neighbor player?

[Andrew Hackard]

1) Ships cannot be unequipped.

2) The Ambassador uses whatever the current value of the Ship is, even if negative.

But Antimatter turns the Ship in to a penalty, it no longer counts as a Ship. Not?

We will have to discuss these rulings.

I have overruled the part of the answer you quoted that says Items lose their properties when hit with Antimatter. My original answer in this thread, therefore, stands.

[Moldon]

You mean if I have antimattered Ship then I can't play another Ship?
And now if I have antimattered Armor then I can't use another Armor?

Yes. And yes, this IS a changed ruling.

ОК, if I have Antimattered Ship and draw Trap! Lose Your Ship! Must I lose this Ship or I can't do this?

Quoting from Antimatter: "Nothing else will reduce or remove the penalty, and there is no other way to get rid of the Item."

So no, you can't lose the Ship to another Trap.
