Speed 0 and obstacles

By NinjaEnShort, in Star Wars: Armada

Hi everyone,

Got a question for you : I forced my opponent to go down to speed 0 as he was on top of debris and he stayed there for a couple turns, should he have kept getting 2 damages ?

He contested and allowed it since it made some sense since he was "IRL" not moving, however checking in the Learn To Play it does state the ships must execute a maneuver at their current speed, therefore should he not have kept taking damage ?

You are correct, a speed 0 maneuver is still a "movement" as defined by the game. If on an obstacle, you would keep resolving those obstacles effects.

Yes, at 0 you're going to constantly keep landing on the obstacle you're stuck on. It's painful and teaches quickly.

So in that vein, if you land on a rift with the Rift Ambush Objective (so get put down to speed 0) do you get to do the speed 1 maneuver???

You sure would. After landing on the rift, the ship speed would be reduced to 0. You would then get to execute a speed 1 maneuver with a yaw of '-' per the objective. However, your dial would remain as speed 0.
