Does Electronic Kyle truly work?. Electronic baffle says: "When you receive a stress token or an ion token, you may suffer one damage to discard that token." Kyle Katarn-crew says: "After you remove a stress token from your ship, you may assign a focus token to your ship." In my opinion electronic baffle will hinder stress/ion actually getting on the ship. If the wording had been "suffer one damage to remove one stress/ion" Kyle would have worked in my opinion. What is your opinion?

Yes, it works. "Remove" and "discard" are effectively synonyms, here.

Whether it's worth it to take a damage to get a focus token is what's questionable.

What he said, it's odd that they used the word discard to refer to a token (it's normally reserved for cards), if you check the FAQ (pg. 8) for Jek Porkins even though his ability says "remove" the FAQ entry refers to it as "discarding".

I would define a discarded token as one that's removed but not assigned to another ship (I'm basing that on Garven Dreis' ability).

Look at Yorr for an example of an ability that diverts the stress before it is actually received.

Fortunately, this is currently only available on two ships (B-Wing and VCX). The former is relatively fragile, and the latter doesn't have the ability to grab Push the Limit... although it could go with Lando/Leebo/Saboteur + Experimental Interface....
