The Planets Nu documentaiton is now "When the starship's mission is set to Intercept and a primary enemy is selected, if combat would occur between the cloakable vessel and its target, that combat will always occur before other combats st the same location. This permits the intercepting vessel to ambush its selected target. Any other combat in the same location will then take place normally. In addition, if the intercepted starship would combat the intercepting starsthip, that combat will also occur before other combats at the same location.
In order to perform a Priority Intercept Attack, a ship must have an installed cloaking device. It must be set to intercept the target and it must have the faction of that target set as primary enemy."
I think this is still not correct, as this would imply that if the Cloak Interceptor has no Primary Enemy selected, the combar would take place as part of the normal battles, i.e. accotring to Standard barrle order. In the OP case, the Biocide would have fought first according to this Version of the documentation.
I would think this would be more correct: "If a starship that has a cloaking device or advanced cloaking device intercepts a target, and at start of Combat Phase (after all movements) this ship and it's target are at the same location, it is a succesfull priority intercept. In this case, both ships check if they want to initiate Combat with each other (usually by KILL Mission or having the other ships faction as Primary Enemy). If at least one of them initiate Combat with the other, this Combat takes place before all Combats (of Ships/Starbases at the same location) which do not belong to a succesfull priority intercept." |
