Trajectory simulator + genius

By FrightfulCommand, in X-Wing Rules Questions

What is the current faq say about how these cards work?

They don't

How do they not interact anymore?

Also i hear you have to discard or use an extra Mun token if you Trajectory simulate a bomblet. Is that right?

No that's if you use a bomblet with Genius.

From the FAQ the Genius card now reads:

Quote

After you reveal and execute a maneuver, if you did not overlap a ship, you may discard 1 of your equipped [bomb] Upgrade cards without the “ Action :” header to drop the corresponding bomb token.

While the Trajectory Simulator has the following clarification:

Quote

Trajectory Simulator can be used only when the ship would drop a bomb via the means printed on an equipped [bomb] Upgrade card. It cannot be used while using "Genius" to drop a bomb after performing a maneuver, or in conjunction with any other effects that override the manner in which the bomb is dropped, such as "Crimson Specialist.

...not that it's a thing, but how would Trajectory Simulator work in conjunction with Crimson Specialist, anyway? five-straight deploy, from any point on your base? How broken would that be? :D

But alas, even without the clarification, poor Paige was worded so painstakingly that she would not be able to do so

Question. Does this then mean I can fire one bomb with trajectory simulator, make my maneuver and then with genius drop a second bomb?

No. You can still only drop one bomb per round, regardless of how you do it.
