1) Result step: All attacking ships deal damage to the starbase. 2) The damage is dealt and Thukker Pirate Haven's pending ability is put on the pile. 3) While the TPH ability is on the pile I add Day of Retribution to the pile. 4) The pile is resolved, from top to bottom. Day of Retribution resolves and destroys all the Bursts, then TBH resolves and steals 3 ISK.

Thukker Pirate Haven (2 ISK) (+0 Income) (+0 shield) When a ship you control deals damage to an opponent's starbase, you gain (1 ISK) and that opponent loses (1 ISK)
The rulebook has this to say about pending abilities:
"Pending abilities start with ‘when’ or ‘at’. It means that when the required circumstances arise, the ability is played on the pile."
I hope this clears some of the confusion about abilities going on the pile.

Edited by: Tallest on 17/08/2006 13:38:20 No, that is a wrong interpretation of the rules.
The pending ability of Thukker Pirate Heaven doesn't trigger until after the damage is already dealt. To make this absolutely positively clear, the damage does indeed go on the pile. But what you fail to realize is that the damage hasn't been dealt until after the pile has been resolved. As soon as this pile finishes, the damage has been dealt and TPH starts another pile.
This means that the damage has already been dealt when TBH goes on the pile and you are free to add Day of Retribution on top of that pile before you lose the ISK.
Damage on the pile is merely waiting to be dealt. This the perfect time to prevent it or redirected it with abilities like those on Guardian or Basilisk.

The damage goes on the pile as one object.
Just like in the damage dealing step, where the rulebook states: "All ships deal damage simultaneously to their designated targets."

The effect is already on the pile so removing the source doesn't do anything.

Yup. When you want to warp your ship, the warp goes on the pile and then your opponent can activate the Tierjiev pocket.
