Sorry if this has already been asked/answered but...How does Arvel work with composure? If I boost with Arvel and crash into an enemy ship (as is the plan) Arvel
's ability says "if you would fail a boost action....resolve it as though you were partially executing a maneuver instead." Does that mean I initially fail it (thus triggering Composure if I have no green token yet) or does that "if you would" mean that you then don't fail the action at all?
The latter. You bump instead of failing, not in addition to it..
Arvel's the man... You might also look at Intimidate.
He focuses into a bumped boost, and reduces the defensive dice.

Bummer. Sort of what I was afraid of. Has that been officially clarified?

Yes he is! Intimidate is my favorite on him too. Now he gets 2 EPTs though so if the composure trick worked he would have been able to target lock, boost with the A wing ability, fail the action and get a focus.

Why would it need to be?
The language is perfectly clear, you're just looking for it to work when you clearly understand otherwise.

Wouldn't be able to do that anyway as you would receive a stress for performing the red boost which would then shut down composure.

For a point more, he can take Predator. If he’s bumping, chances are the other ship’s in his bullseye.

Good call! It all comes tumbling down!

Good stuff. That seems like the direction I'll head in.

Easy does it! It's just a question and not an attempt at rules lawyering. No need for any condescending comments or attempted mind reading. 😉
If I add a second EPT, as ab suggested, it's Predator.
I’ll echo what others have said. Predator is the talent you need along with Intimidate.
