Oh wow, ions got buffed. No more coordinates or fine-tuned. Just in time for some Y-wing fun!

You can still be co-ordinated after your activation and after the ion token has been removed, but yeah shutting off Fine-Tuned feels a little overdue.

Felt a bit bull****y for Jedi to somehow use the Force to make their ship work a bit.

When I saw "ions got buffed", I was briefly excited they'd errata'd it so that the first damage also dealt an ion, but oh well.

So Cova with R4 flying a 1 turn rolls an additional die, gets an action and still has Leia available for other ships? That's pretty big buff.

Wow, that's pretty huge isn't it?

Isn't that pretty much the opposite of how everyone was assuming R4 worked?

High-initiative ion switching off passive sensors is pretty funny.

Did they define "Revealed Maneuver" then?

In the FAQ section. Page 28.

Q: When an effect checks the difficulty of your revealed
maneuver (such as Cova Nell’s pilot ability), do any effects
that alter the difficulty of your maneuvers (such as R4
Astromech [󲁔] or Leia Organa [Resistance, 󲁒 󲁒] apply?

A: No. The difficulty of a revealed maneuver matches its printed color. The
speed and bearing of a revealed maneuver also match their printed value
and type, respectively.

As a side note this murders Hera/Nien...

Nice, this is what I thought was the case all along

especially since there was a rule addendum in the box that stated this. I still don't get why so many people simply ignored that.

I don't know that it's opposite how everyone assumed it worked, but it's certainly opposite of how the wording of the cards suggest they work.

Ok, so "revealed maneuver" equals "printed maneuver". Though that does raise the question of why they didn't simply use the latter term in the first place.

Forget it. I was wrong.

The hability queue clarification also impacts the chained "Swarm Tactics" some alpha-strike lists were relying on.

Does it buff Seasoned Navigator on Hera? Is a dial still “revealed” when adjusted?

Edit: no. It is not.

edit2: Nobody knows if Hera has a second trigger opportunity when a card adjusts a dial. That seems bad.

I thought they’d explicitly said that worked? I don’t feel like it’s been prevalent enough to need to backtrack on that...

Hera is during her activation, so its not keyed to revealed maneuver.

No, you still meet the requirement to add swarm to the queue (friendly ship at r1), it works same as before

🤨 Still works.

• If an ability’s requirements are not met, it cannot be added to the ability
queue

Hahahaha.

Now the ability que, the one for "effects that would resolve", now actually requires that the ability would resolve, who saw that coming?!?!?! /S

It still works though? You still get all your triggers to use swarm tactics, and you decide the order. It mostly kills the nantex chain tractoring from what i've seen, because they didn't have to condition to trigger in the first place, they cannot ''gain'' the trigger they need DURING the queue.

As FFG defines from the FAQ part I quoted last page: " No. The difficulty of a revealed maneuver matches its printed color."

About Swarm Tactics.

Yes you are right. It seems I'm still salty from my last defeat...

With the new rulings on Revealed Maneuvers...

If a Stressed Resistance Transport with R4 reveals a Hard-1, does it perform the maneuver, or a 2-straight as it revealed a Red while stressed?

Wait, so what does this mean for the Activation rules (pg 3) which state, "The ship executes the maneuver selected on the revealed dial"?

I mean, effects like Hera that actually alter the dial are ok, but by the "revealed equals printed" ruling, how can effects that just treat the dial differently function at all?

That FFG still needs to proof read more?

The issue is cloaking device on hudge ship.

Yeah they did that in 1.04

A ship’s revealed maneuver is the maneuver selected on its dial, which remains faceup next to that ship’s ship card until the next Planning Phase

This hurts my Hera Intimidate Adv Sensors Zeb build. Me Sad.

Can cikatro still double up upgrades (like give a deadmans switch to a k fighter who already has one)?

Had an old build Talonbomb Cobra. Talonbane starts with cloaking device and deadmans switch. Turn 1 talon cloaks and cikatro switches the cloak for another ships Deadman switch, leaving talonbane with 2 switches and cloaked. Later on you decloak plus 3+ speed plus Afterburners into R1 for fun/profit.
