so preforms a white stop then receive a stress

does that let me have a action or does the stress happen before i chose a action

The normal steps during a ship's activation are:

1. Reveal dial
2. Set template
3. Execute maneuver
4. Check pilot stress
5. Clean up
6. Perform action

Inertial Dampeners give you a stress token after step 3.

Which is before the Perform Action step, which means you will have the stress and won't get to perform an action!

But- it does let you perform the stop if you already have a stress token because the initial move is white.

Correct

With a Systems slot, and taking Advanced Sensors would allow you to take your action before you reveal your dial. Then activate your Inertial Dampers and do your full stop/stress.

But- it does let you perform the stop if you already have a stress token because the initial move is white.

Yeah - I'm not too happy about the way FFG did that. On the Lamda shuttle, you have a red zero maneuver - so can't do it while stressed.

For a one point upgrade on a Scum Firespray like Kath, you can do it stressed or unstressed.

Makes the move less special for the Shuttle and again highlights the crappy dial it has.

Inertial Dampeners are a one use item however whereas the shuttle can do the stop as often as it likes (stress permitting).

It's still not a good idea to do it while stressed, since it leaves you with two stress tokens. And the Lambda is supposed to have a crappy dial; that's why it's so fantastically cheap.

It's in the core rule book.

The steps for each ship during the attack phase are there as well.

And if you look on the BACK of the rulebook, you'll see it listed there, too.
