Actions on maneuver / dial reveal

By Hawkstrike, in X-Wing Rules Questions

What actions, abilities, or upgrades function on a maneuver of dial reveal?

Dropping bombs (seismic, proton, ion), yes. What else?

I'm wondering what other tricks might be possible with a SLAM (assuming it counts as a dial reveal, which seems to be the intent).

Let's not put the cart before the horse here.

If the slam maneuver counts as a dial reveal, you can trigger advanced sensors off of it. So, in the middle of your perform action step you may perform a free action and then skip your perform action step. You either get an extra action out of that or create a grandfather paradox by skipping the step that enables you to skip the step. Both dropping bombs and AS have the same trigger. RAW, if you can do one you have to be able to do the other.

This probably precludes us ever getting an upgrade that gives a ship the SLAM action.

which I've just realized is also an action.
I need to make an epic list with K-Wings and a Transport.

How can we have a review when we still don't know what the dial is? :wacko:
