R4p17 and Gas Clouds

By Brother Fett, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Hello! If I had a delta 7 that slooped onto a gas cloud, I am stressed and loose my standard action. If r4p17 was equipped, could I spend a charge and perform an action despite landing on the cloud? I guess the real question is, does landing on or moving through a gas cloud only effect your standard action? Thanks!

It only affects your Perform Action Step. You can use any other triggered actions.

Expanding on what spaceinvader said: 'P17 does not actually give your regular action back, but gives you an extra action after a red maneuver. That is why it gets you an action even after landing on an asteroid/cloud.

Doesn't directly prevent actions from being taken. It applies a stress token. There are multiple ways around the token, R4-P17's ability being one. Jek Porkens's pilot ability another.

Yes, I was adding to @nitrobenz comments

asteroid/cloud/debris. It works for all three.

Good point. R4-P17 and Pattern Analyzer, while similar, have different-enough mechanics for it to matter sometimes.
