Can you set a ship to speed zero at ship placement

By Jondavies72, in Star Wars: Armada Rules Questions

So the Tournement rules state on placement of a ship a player must Set the speed dial to a speed available on the speed chart of the ship card,. as speed zero is not on the speed chart the rule as written would suggest not....

You never could.

Well never is a really strong word... But this was one of the first (but not the first, that belongs to Most Wanted) FAQ rulings and advice:


Q: During the “Deploy Ships” step of setup, can a player set his or her ship’s speed to “0”?

A: No.

That, and the Rulebook wording is exactly the same as what you see in the Tournament Guide in that aspect - you must set to a speed on your Speed Chart, of which Speed 0 is not, but is your minimum overall.

Unless, of course, you were deploying within the appropriate distance of a G7 token

cheers, it's just something I have never come across ( always set a speed and had opponents set a speed) and realised I'd not even thought about before, so had one of those "is that right" moments.
