Ptl/Eperimental Interface

By Zomboid, in X-Wing Rules Questions

So this is more then likely common knowledge but I can't find any thing on it.

If I complete a red maneuver and use R4-E1 to drop a bomb (but not remove stress), can I still use Ptl/EI for the free action?

No

Yes as long as it's a bomb or torp action, so Y Wing could use an action bomb and Seismic Torps.

As always, remember that you can't perform actions, even free actions like from PTL when stressed, unless specifically allowed by a card like R4-E1 or Contraband Cybernetics.

I don't think there is any ship which can take Contraband Cybernetics along with R4-E1, but if there was, you could use CC, pull a red, drop a bomb with R4-E1, then use PTL to take another action, but mostly because Contraband Cybernetics would create a rule exception to allow you to do this.

With the caveats that you can't use PTL to trigger an action on an upgrade card (only Experimental Interface), and that you can't drop two bombs in the same turn.

If you keep R4-E1 (and the stress), then Push the Limit won't work because that only allows an action from your Action bar, but you could use EI for a torpedo card with the Action: header ( I think Seismic Torpedoes is the only one so far ).

But any action (other than from a torpedo upgrade card) will not be allowed because you're still stressed. You also won't be able to use Experimental Interface to drop another bomb because you can't drop more than one bomb per round.

Edit (never mind).
