Edit: Question has been answered. Look at Engine25 (8th post down) for the best answer.

After talking to some friends about Snap Wexley, the question was brought up whether or not Snap could perform his free boost action after executing a red maneuver. My argument was that Snap's ability occurred after the executing a maneuver step but before check pilot stress step (page 7 in original rule book). Thus he is not stressed when his ability is triggered.

Is this correct? or am I missing something?

I would think that it happens before Check Pilot Stress...

so Snap can K-turn or T-roll then boost, then get the stress.

Sounds reasonable. I'm sure someone will show up with a similar precedent if there's something that says you can't already. I'd probably give him Primed Thrusters just so he can boost even when doing Greens and Whites with a Stress. If you're right, then not having Primed Thrusters will mean he can't Boost off a Green if he starts with a stress.

Pretty sure with the latest FAQ that executing a maneuver includes the stress you receive (or shed) at the end. So "Snap" can't pull it off without some Primed Thrusters.

ObiWonka has the right of it. "Executing a Maneuver" includes checking for pilot stress. Page 4 of the Rules Reference.

That doesn't make sense with pattern analyzer. Can you try to find where it says this in the FAQ and link it?

Yeah I will probably run Primed Thrusters on him either way since its only a point and it really helps open up the dial.

It's in the Force Awakens rulebook. Check stress is now a substep that takes place during the execute maneuver step. Stress is received before any actions or free actions of any kind can occur that take place after executing a maneuver, because the stress token is received before executing that maneuver is resolved. So, without Primed Thrusters or Pattern Analyzer, Snap can't get his free boost after a red maneuver.

Alright well then that answers my question, thanks guys for your responses. It seems my rules reference book is missing and all I have is the original and new "learn to play" books.
