Adrenaline Rush and Outlaw Tech

By Stubby, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Adrenaline Rush:

When you reveal a red maneuver you may discard this card to treat that maneuver as a white maneuver until the end of the Activation phase.

Outlaw tech:

After you execute a red maneuver, you may assign 1 focus token to your ship.

How does this work?

At the end of the activation phase, is the maneuver red again and therefore Outlaw tech is triggered?

I think you would finish executing the maneuver before the end of the activation phase, so it won't turn red again until after the trigger for Outlaw Tech has already passed. So no, this combo won't work.

Exactly what I was typing. The activation phase includes choosing your action. You complete your maneuver before choosing an action, so it's not yet red again.

The wording is a bit odd. It says "treat that maneuver as a white maneuver". I guess I am suggesting that You are still executing a red maneuver. So outlaw tech would trigger??

No, because AR makes it white for all intents and purposes until after the activation phase.

Ok, so by that logic Stay on Target which says "Treat that maneuver as a red maneuver" would trigger Outlaw Tech. Good to know. Thanks

It does.

The duration for AR doesn't really matter in this case, because the Tech triggers on what you execute. So even if it turned back red immediately after you executed it, you still executed a white.

Where I was going with this is that AR says "treat that manuever as a White maneuver". Why wouldnt it say "turn that manuever into a white maneuver"? If it is only being treated as a white maneuver then it may actually still be a red one. See what I mesn?

This is the standard terminology for anything that changes the difficulty of a maneuver. R2 Astromech, Nien, etc.

I see your thought process, but there is a problem with your line of thinking: if outlaw tech triggered then you wouldn't be treating the maneuver as though it were white. You'd be treating it like it was red, which does not align with Adrenaline Rush.

The probelm with "turn that maneuver into a white maneuver" is that one can argue, that the maneuver has been turned into a white one, so it stays white for the rest of the game. For one point, that's much too good, which is a reason for the wording.

Also, per FAQ you cannot use Adrenaline Rush to treat a red turn from the damage card "Damaged Engine" as a white one. (FAQ page 14).
