I could not find the thread, but a player was concerned with what to do if he/she forgot to adjust his dial for movement.

I found in the rule book on page 17 under STRESS. That if a player forgets and uses a red movement while stressed then the opponent gets to choose any non-red movement for that ship, that turn.

I feel this would be rather the same thing and that is how I would handle the terrible situation. I strongly advice to place the dials when selected for a move by the ship, and remove them when used. This would help you remember easier.

I believe most people just make the person do the same manoeuvre as last turn so if your stressed and your last manoeuvre was a red then yes for sure you get to change the dial.

If a player forgets to assign a ship's maneuver dial during their Planning phase, they resolve that ship's Activation phase as follows:

1. Non-stressed ship, non-red maneuver - Execute maneuver on the dial.
2. Stressed ship, non-red maneuver - Execute maneuver on the dial.
3. Non-stressed ship, red maneuver - Execute maneuver on the dial.

4. Stressed ship, red maneuver - Follow the rules on page 17, Stress Section, Second paragraph.

As always, discuss what to do with your opponent if you want to. In tournament, include the TO if you have to. This is just the way I approach this situation.

I believe this is the thread you were looking for.

Aside from it being "Impossible" to play without setting a maneuver dial if you fail to change one then repeating that maneuver is by far the most logical course of action and would be completely within the rules. If you're stressed and doing a red then you follow the rule and give your opponent the dial but that's the only reason I could ever see for doing something like that.

This has been done to death....Kill this thread!

I guess I was looking at the situation as an if you forget punishment. I like this "quoted" way best and defiantly seems more in spirit of the game. Thanks.

Some people definitely seem to want to pursue this defiantly. I had hoped this topic was beat to death but some people just seem to want to punish people for nothing at all. I mean BOTH players should be responsible for making sure the game is in a state where it is ready to go forward (ie. at the END of the planning stage) which means not "assigning" a dial is both players fault and shouldn't happen; if a dial wasn't "set" then the player is simply doing the same maneuver over again or at least trying to.

A more complex question is "what happens when a revealed dial is between maneuvers so that one isn't clear?" Now THIS situation really doesn't have a clear answer although my solution would be to allow the opponent to select which of the two maneuvers shown is going to be the intended maneuver. Not quite the "give the opponent your dial" of performing a red while stressed (unless of course you are stressed and a red maneuver is one of the two possibilities) but it still punishes you.
