Vi moradi vs striker

Striker still can reveal his dial after he faced up his dial by Compromising Intel??

can do Adaptive Ailerons or can't

"Revealing" a dial is a specific step in a ship's activation, of which one step is flipping the dial face-up. Every ship that has a dial assigned will still "reveal" a maneuver at the proper time, even if the dial is already face up.

The only time you would skip the Ailerons step entirely is if you don't have a maneuver dial assigned to your ship; currently, the only effect that causes this is being Ionized.

It somewhat debatable, but i still agree.

They still have yet to make it publicly clear the differences between revealing and flipping face up. I think 'standard practice' is that 'flipping face up' is temporary (ie long enough for the opponents to see the selected maneuver) while reveal is permanent for the turn.

From the Rules Reference:

Quote

Reveal Dial: The ship’s assigned dial is revealed by flipping it faceup and then placing it next to its ship card.

So a revealed dial if flipped up, but a flipped up dial doesn't necessarily mean revealed. It's ambigious if you want it to be.

New Question:

If you never place a dial next to it's ship card, has it ever been revealed? /s

By that same vein, when two swarms get into one enormous "Charlie Foxtrot" in the center of the board, and there's no room to put any dials ANYWHERE near their respective ships... are they actually set at all? ;)
