Tie Silencer issue

By Thatdash, in X-Wing Rules Questions

So a friend and I are playing,

Tie Silencer w/

PTL and THREAT TRACKER

They PTL'd focused and target lock receive stress.

When my ship became active they used THREAT TRACKER to barrel roll.

I was under the impression that if a ship is stressed it cannot perform any actions, even free actions.

Am I correct for no THREAT TRACKER due to stress.

Or is my friend correct THREAT TRACKER to barrel roll while stressed.

Threat tracker doesn't override the "no actions while stressed" rule.

Correct, if he is stressed he cannot use any free actions from any source unless they specifically call out while stressed.

In order to use PTL and TT he'd only be able to PTL off the TT action, otherwise he'd be stressed and not get his reactive roll/boost

Random, if you only took 1 action during the activation phase, I'm pretty sure you could PTL off of the Threat Tracker action.

That could be cool, boost and barrel roll during the combat phase

Yes, you could take just the single action and trigger the PtL off the boost or barrel roll action from Threat Tracker, but remember that PtL restricts your action to only those on your action bar.

Your friend was only right, if he also had Primed Thrusters. You did not mention that he did.

He couldn't. Primed Thrusters and Threat Tracker are both tech slots.

Makes sense. I didn't check that before posting.

Threat Tracker: Great on FCS TIE/sfs, not so great elsewhere.
