HI all,
just wondering if it is allowed to choose an action while stressed (like a focus or an evade token). You all wonder why, well if you have an b wing Keyan, he can use the stress during an attack. After this attack he is not stressed anymore therefore he can use the focus you choose earlyer for another attack.
2: does anyone has recommendations for me (build) for a b wing.
Thanks a lot!
another question plasma torpedo's seems a bit OP. 4 damage plus 1 shield. Do i read this correct ?
Spend your target lock and discard this card to perform this attack. If this attack hits, after dealing damage, remove 1 shield token from the defender. Attack value: 4. Range 2-3.
No, you cannot perform actions while stressed (even free actions). If you are somehow able to shed that stress, and are presented with an opportunity to perform an action (for example, from Airen Cracken's pilot ability after he attacks), THEN you may perform an action.
iam not saying you perform actions while stressed iam saying that you choose an action but not perform it lchoose one focus afther abillity b wing you can use it !
You seem to misunderstand the difference between performing a focus/evade action and spending a focus/evade token.
The ACTION is assigning the token to Keyan. He CANNOT do this if he is stressed.
Spending the token is NOT an action amd he CAN do this even if he is stressed.

You cannot "queue" up actions.

Your original question and persistence in the face of reasonable answers suggest you either have not read the rules, or you do not respect them. If you haven't read the rules, take the time. You'll be a better player for it. As a free hint, the answer to your original question is on page 4 of the Rules Reference. If you don't respect the rules, then you don't respect other players, and no game community needs that kind of disrespect.
Edited by jmswoodi dont disrespect you! i am just asking a question.
thanks for the answer. good that this is not possible otherwise a b wing with that capability will be extremely dangerous!

Yea, a ship playing completely outside the constraints of the written rules would be dangerous indeed....
There's no reason you can't choose an action while Stressed but doing so is completely pointless as you can not perform that action and have anything happen associated with that action just by choosing it. Spending Tokens is not an Action and there are other things that may assign tokens that work while Stressed but these things are NOT Actions that the stressed ship is actually performing.

That comment was uncalled for. I don't think he disrespect the rules, or other players. He just simply misunderstood the way how actions and spending tokens work, like many new players do.

The majority of people here are far more patient and willing to help new players understand the intricacies of this game.
I see some fair points made about my post earlier. I appologize to those who feel I crossed a line. Also, I
will say I'm specifically sorry to florismulock, the original poster in this thread.
Please understand the tone of my post resulted from a difference in perception. I agree the original question was simple enough, and so was the initial answer to the question. In florismulock's response to the answer, I perceived two possible scenarios:
1 - this player hasn't taken the time to read and understand the rules.
2 - this player knows the rules, but is looking for other people to justify an idea that does not follow the rules.
I was quick to judge, and the temperament of my response was uncalled for. I'm sorry.
In case anyone is still following along, I noticed a couple of florismulock's questions have not been answered.

If you like Keyan Farlander, fly him with Opportunist. It's a simple way to get the most out of his ability.

The way your question is phrased, I want to make sure you understand the Plasma Torpedo's Attack value of 4 is the number of dice you roll, not a guaranteed result of using the attack. So yes, it is possible to do 5 total damage with a Plasma Torpedo. Lots of attacks can do five damage. Most of them have drawbacks, like requiring you to spend a target lock and discard a card.
To elaborate on jmswoods explenation of the plasma torpedo.
Note that the extra shield removed happens AFTER dealing damage. So for the PT to do 5 damage total you need to:
1, roll 4 hits/crits.
2, target a ship that has more then 4 shields.
3, the target must not manage to roll any evades or in any other way cancel any hit/crit results.
So it's possible to do 5 damage, but very unlikely to happen.

Plasma Torpedoes are just like a primary attack in that the defender still rolls his green dice, and hit and crit results still get cancelled by evade results. If there are hit or crit results left over after all the evade results have been used, then the defender suffers those uncancelled results and loses a shield (if he still has one).
