@Otacon pardon my brevity. I meant "do not think of gaining/losing stress"

Edited my first post to try to include that. I should know better since I had to explain it to half the players I faced with Rage+baffle QuickDraw.

Never mind. Originating post edited.

If/When 2.0 comes out they should change "Check Pilot Stress" to "Check Maneuver Difficulty". It would prevent so many confusions.

SO with the new Tie Silencer coming out, I played a game on Vassal and wanted to confirm/psa about how it can abuse Pattern Analyzer. Please feel free to point out anything wrong!

Silencer with Push/Advanced Sensors/PA can do the following

• Preform 2 actions before revealing its dial (then remove stress if its green, or could do a white but not a red maneuver since it would receive stress from ptl)
• When stressed from a previous turn, do a green, NOT use Pattern Analyzer, Clear Stress during 'Check Pilot Stress', Preform two actions, Receive stress from PTL
• Do a green maneuver, Use Pattern Analyzer, preform 2 actions, recieve a stress from PTL, then during 'Check Pilot Stress' discard that stress because it did a green
• If NOT stressed, perform a red maneuver, Do two actions, recieve a stress from PTL, recieve another stress from 'Check Pilot Stress' step

Anything else that I am missing?

Yep. This is why the card is way more useful than just "do a red, get an action anyway" that a lot of people read it as.

also: you missed:

• notice that my red maneuver sucks, perform two actions before revealing dial, get stressed, reveal red maneuver, do a 2-straight white.

Equip Kanan. Lose 1 stress. Pretty expensive way to add a 2 straight green maneuver to your dial, but effective nonetheless.

No, you can't do that with Pattern Analyser, only with Advanced Sensors. It's a function of the latter, not the former.

That's true. I was answering this question:

I even quoted it.

And I was clarifying for anyone else reading. We're all helping.
