Advanced Sensor combo

By Darth Shadow Walker, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Ok, So before I reveal my dial I use Adanced Sensors to Barrel Roll, PTL to Boost (Engine Upgrade) recieve a stress, Then Activate Inertial Dampners, recieve another Stress, and then when combat begins Activate Zuckus? Is this a viable thing?

All depends on where are you trying to land. ADV, then BR, then Boosting, then stopping would almost be the same as doing the 1 green straight on the dial and then BR back, but you wouldn't have to take the 2 stress tokens. You could even then Push for a Focus or TL afterwards. BUT it depends on the situation and where you want to land. Its a nasty combo in the right spot.

The Adv Sensor > PTL is perfectly fine, so is popping Inertial Dampeners - This results in you having 2 stress.

Which Zuckuss are you referring to? If its the pilot then yes, as his ability doesn’t care about stress.

If its the Zuckuss crew, then no, as it was changed in the FAQ to only be usuable if you have no stress.

As @Innese pointed out, if you are using errata'd cards you won't be able to use Zuckuss crew while stressed. Other than that, yes, you could barrel roll back and away, then boost toward where you came from to adjust your angle, and use dampers to not move. You end up with two stress, but you're right where you want to be!

Here's the corrected card from p.5 of the current FAQ (4.4.1):
