Just so I'm not cheating by accident...

1. Use AS - Before revealing my maneuver, do x action

1.a PTL do y action

1.b get stressed

2. reveal green maneuver, move, check stress and remove stress token due to green maneuver

Yes, works as described.

It also works with anything else that gives you a pre-maneuver action, like Sabine Wren's Rebel Pilot Ability or BB-8. Action, PTL or Experimental Interface into an additional action, then execute your green maneuver to clear that stress you just gained.

But be careful that you don't dial in a red maneuver, then choose to PTL first... unless you REALLY want to change that T-Roll or K-turn into a 2-straight (which, I guess, sometimes the situation warrants)!

Definitely NOT cheating. Just remember that the PtL action must be from your Action Bar .

This said, if you want to trigger an upgrade card use EI and lose a mod instead

Or use the upgrade card action first. Rage/PTL/Autothrusters on Tycho Celchu I know Experimental Interface can add another action, but I'd rather have the AT effect.

That won't always work (say, if a Firespray had PTL, Engine Upgrade, and Proximity Mines), but often will.

You can still use PTL to boost after dropping the Proximity Mine since Engine Upgrade says "Your Action bar gains the (Boost) action icon" you just can't do them in the opposite order to boost then drop the mine.

Yeah, that's what I meant. I was trying to give an example of a situation where someone might really prefer to boost first, then drop the mine, to change the position. PTL won't allow that specifically, but it is possible to both drop a mine and boost.
