The one crit card says that you cannot perform a straight move next turn.

i played yesterday and the player dialled a straight for his ship.

what do you do if this happens, I couldn't find an answer in the FAQ?

Because they dialed in an illegal maneuver, they hand their dial to their opponent, who sets a legal one. While the rules for revealing red maneuvers while stressed had to be changed due to the possibility a ship could be stressed during the activation phase, other illegal maneuvers still use the original rule. This also applies to mixing up dials and revealing a maneuver that isn't on the ship's actual dial.

Thanks, Sounds like a good answer, are to able to provide a reference to something official, it might come in handy.

It has been changed so not all illegal dial situations were covered in the new FAQ.

Prior to the more recent FAQ any illegal dial maneuver would be handing your dial to your opponent who would then punish you by choosing any legal move for you, such as making you face the other direction, red maneuver if you were not stressed, white so you can keep the stress. Or just flying you off the board.

So on page 4 it states as illegal dials (stuck between two maneuvers making it impossible to tell which one was selected). the opposing player would chose between the two. For red maneuvers when stressed it becomes a 2 straight white so it keeps the stress (page 6).

Treat it as an illegal dial. Opponent selects maneuver.

So again, the question select any legal maneuver or just rotate it to an adjacent non-straight still legal maneuver. Unless you have been archiving the previous editions of the FAQ you wouldn't know that illegal maneuvers allow your opponent to select any legal maneuver.

Me personally if it is an illegal maneuver but not one of the two conditions stated in the FAQ, then I would go with the prior rule for opponent selects any legal maneuver. So here are the conditions and resolutions.

1. Dial between two maneuvers: Opponent rotates the dial to any adjacent maneuver that is still legal.
2. Red maneuver while stressed: Ship does a 2 straight white instead.
3. Illegal Dial that is not any of the prior two conditions (or resolutions will result in another illegal maneuver): Opponent selects any legal maneuver even if it would cause the ship to overlap or leave the game edge.

I don't know how other TOs will word this but that's just my take.
