In a game the other night, I was playing Gallente and my opponent was playing Minmatar. I was defending with 3 ships including a 0/4 ship against 2 attacking ships from my opponent, one of which was the 10/6 ship whose stats are reduced -2/-1 whenever it is targeted. I targeted the 10/6 ship with all of my ships to reduce it's defenses so I could kill it because I had a bunch of small ships. My opponent told me that I couldn't target his ship (or anything for that matter) with a 0 power ship because it doesn't have any power. I posited that I should be able to because I might have a news card that increases the power of the ship later on. He said that I would have to play the News card on the ship before targeting.
So long story short, can my 0/4 ship target a ship in combat even though it has a 0 power?
Thanks!

There's no reason it couldn't, it would just do no damage.
Also, the cyclone is 10/5, but I'm guessing you had some hedbergite in play?
You can target the ship to make it 0/0 and instantly kill it without firing a shot, technically speaking.

Thanks for your thoughts. I was doing it from memory so I forgot the exact stats of the ship and name.
We had played Saturday night, and I just talked to my friend and he said that he talked to one of the devs at GenCon on Sunday and they reported that a ship with 0 power can't target another ship. Is it possible that another dev could confirm this, because now I'm really confused?

Yes, a ship that has 0 attack power can target another ship, it just cannot deal any damage.

just as a industrial or hauler or any other ship you might own with no weapons or offensive abilities loaded can Target another ship in the real Eve Online, I don't see why it couldn't in the card game. Every ship has the ability to target another ship.
I kinda like the idea of sending in a Velator on a frigate with 2 or less shields/armor/life and claim to your opponent that you are attacking it. If he is dumb enough to laugh or scoff at you, then use that ship to retaliate against the Velator and kill it, their ship dies too due to the retaliation 2 damage part of the Velator. This might be a stretch, but seems like a fun thing to try on not so smart players.
