No more U-Wing 180 while stressed.

By WWHSD, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Wouldn't the Golden Rule override this section of the FAQ?

GOLDEN RULES
If a rule in this guide contradicts the Learn to Play
booklet, the rule in this guide takes priority.


Card abilities can override the rules listed in this
guide. Mission rules can override both card abilities
and rules from this guide.


If a card ability or mission effect uses the word
“cannot,” that effect is absolute and cannot be
overridden by other effects.

So Hera on a B-Wing?

The new ruling makes Hera utterly useless. I smell another update to a FAQ omission coming soon...

That, palp not technically working on any other ship's dice and the messed up wording on hot shot copilot's ruling all should be adjusted but we at least can pull clear guidance that the 180 2 white straight is not intended behavior.

It's rare enough that it's an acceptable casualty i would expect.

Looks like a ship being BoShek'd could get caught by this as well.

Hera is NOT useless. Her card text specifically overrides the normal 'revealing red move when stressed' mechanic.

The U-wing thing was a loophole that needed closing. The 'revealing red whilst stressed' mechanic was always a penalty. The U-wings and old rules allowed you to turn it to advantage, which is not good for the game.

And I've been flying U-wings exclusively since they came out. I used this 'trick' once in a casual game and felt dirty. Good ruling if you ask me.
