Tie Strikers and title interactions.

So, love the striker. Been flying a mini swarm of them lately, but in doing so I've come across some questionable scenarios. So the title FORCES your tie to do a 1 maneuver equivalent of a boost (if not stressed or dutchess) Unlike a boost however, it's considered a separate maneuver and therefore CAN bump, overlap, or fly off the board. So here's the question. If my "boost" caused me to bump a ship, and then my dial left my striker in the clear, do I still get an action? What about if my "boost" took me through a rock? So far I've been playing it as I get my action if my dial leaves me clear and havnt been questioned for it. However, I abuse the "boost" bumps quite a bit to control the strikers speed and it just feels a bit too broken. So wanted to make sure I'm doing this correctly before attempting to bring the list to a tournament lol

As long as you don't bump/overlap an obstacle with your dialled in maneuver, you still get your action still.

Adaptive Ailerons is on page 15 of the FAQ.

Thank you for raising this topic! I have an additional question for you guys: if a striker bumps on its 'boost' can it still execute the dialed maneuver?

Don't call Adaptive Ailerons a boost, it will only confuse people. The ship still has an assigned dial. It must follow all the normal steps for activation after resolving Adaptive Ailerons.

It can and must execute the dialed maneuver no matter what happens with the special maneuver from the AA title.

In my group we call it "aileron-ing" for clarity sake :)

Nice! We have a lot of BB8ing and Poeing going on.
