On Huge Ships, when I use Engine Booster to execute a 1 Straight Forward maneuver, do I get to gain the corresponding amount of energy from the maneuver on my dial? Or do I only gain energy if the dial is revealed?

Good question.
It's not something that's been spelled out explicitly but I'm going for no.
The rules for gaining energy say this.
Gain Energy:
The huge ship gains a number of energy tokens equal to the number of energy icons shown on the chosen maneuver on the maneuver dial (below the speed number).
The Engine booster maneuver isn't the chosen maneuver on your dial - it's a maneuver that results from an upgrade ( even if it just so happens to be the same maneuver that you chose on your dial)
Put another way - you gain energy when you follow the steps for the activation phase for huge ships and get to the Energy steps - Engine booster happens outside this timing window - before the dial is revealed

I thought the same. Thanks for the reply.
