I think you mean Jyn Erso + Perceptive Co-Pilot, Jan gains a stress to enable a squaddie a reroll on an attack. I'll look.

Yeah, jyn not jan. We decided that percop isn't simultaneous, but nevertheless I thought I found something relevant to the topic at hand.

It also means he has no issue killing Sloane swarms; he kills a ship, acquires two stress, and if there's an enemy in arc at range one, the stress goes away.

It's actually worth noting that if Nien kills a ship at range 1, the destroyed ship is not removed from the table until all abilities related to its death, and all subsequent abilities triggered by those, are cleared.

Basically meaning Nein can clear the stress applied by Sloan, using the destroyed ship before it is removed from the table.

^ That.

Cluster Missile Nien against Sloane Swarm could prove hilarious in that respect!

Destroyed ships are not removed until the end of the init step anyway, which is strictly after Nien's activation is completed.

I can see Nien being the topic of some interesting conversations a some tournies 😞

I suspect they'll end with someone yelling "I am the senate" then turning into a spinning tornado of death

How does the interaction between daredevil and boosting work, boosting is an action, correct, not a manouevre??

Yeah, but the check difficulty for the maneuver is moved till after the action. So you could red maneuver, not be in R1, DD boost into R1, receive/remove stress for DD, recieve/remove stress from red maneuver

and then still take your normal action??

Yes.
