Nerf to Rigged Cargo Chute (red maneuvers on red maneuvers)

By Rinzler in a Tie, in X-Wing

Tucked in the corner of page 2 of the new FAQ:

A stressed ship cannot execute red maneuvers or perform actions. If a stressed ship reveals a red maneuver (and cannot use a game effect to rotate its dial or execute a non-red maneuver instead), the owner moves the ship as if it were a white [straight 2] maneuver instead.

How about them apples.

Now, all they need is to add one more line - R2 Astromech and Nien Nunb (and anything else that can change a white to a green maneuver) cannot change the maneuver to a green maneuver and then we'd be perfect.

Oh, and the Countess---- Can she make the 2 white straight a K turn? Can Juno still use her ability. REASONING - the player is still revealing a maneuver. As the maneuver is invalid, "the owner moves the ship as if it were a white [straight 2] maneuver instead." So, in essence, they revealed a 2 straight white.

This change opens the door for a future upgrade card that allows bomb tokens to detonate immediately after your ship finishes its maneuver, since Thermal Detonator assigns 1 stress token to each ship at range 1.

That buffs Kanan crew quite nice. I think that at some point, the authors should implement a non-color movements, i.e. for the sake of Ion effect, Tractor beaming, Decloacking or similar effects that works as movements in general, including any limitations but are not supposed to have colors and are not supposed to trigger any effects related to any colored maneuvers.

The FAQ says that the owner moves the ship as if it were a white maneuver.

It does not say execute a white maneuver. This skips the execute a maneuver step entirely, so no Kanan, no turning it green with Nien Numb. No check pilot stress.

At least that is how I read it.

I like it. Good change.

Would Mr. Numb crew change that into a green 2?

It's specifically not a maneuver, so it isn't affected by things that affect maneuvers, and it doesn't trigger things that require a maneuver to be attempted.
