Here's a question I have been unable to figure out.

If you're running master navigator 1and trigger engine techs off of a dial command, can you get an extra notch using the dial during the engine tech maneuver? Or would you need to apply a token during this second movement to get a bonus notch?

Specifically, I'm running an mc80 liberty with engine techs and looking to see if I can get it to spin speed 6 donuts around a gravity rift.

I don't think Master Navigator I would do it for you, as it only adjust the last yaw of your "current speed" - which I'm assuming here is '3'. That you are doing a speed-1 maneuver as a result of ET doesn't change your ship's "current speed", so MN1 is adding a notch somewhere you can't use (at least, not use for ET). (As the FAQ says in the last Q&A in 'Movement': "The ship’s current speed is still tracked by its speed dial, and the ship does not count as having changed its speed.")

That said , I think Master Navigator III would do it for you. It simply states the ship 'may increase 1 additional yaw value by 1'...presumably the intent was to mean you could change any of your yaw values at your current speed an extra 1, rather than just the last one, but it doesn't actually say 'current speed', so reading it literally it should let you adjust your speed-1 yaw value (used by engine techs) even if your ship is moving faster than that.

Either way, though, you're going to hit a problem with this.

Remember that one of the features of a gravity rift is to reduce speed by 1 for all maneuvers executed close to it.

So your speed-3 MC80 at distance 2 of the rift only moves 3-1 = 2. And when you try to do an Engine Tech maneuver, it moves you forward 1-1 = 0. (Note, though, that if this is Rift Assault for example, that speed-0 maneuver from ET IS still eligible to trigger the speed-1 movement from the objective. If you didn't do the mandatory speed-1 movement on your first move, anyway - obviously you can't get both as the objective movement is only 'once per activation')
