So, I just read up on the rules, and noticed on pg 9 where it says

"...a ship cannot perform the same action more than once during a single game round (not even when the action is a “free action”). "

So. My question is, can Turr Phennir move, boost, shoot, then boost again?

Or, since his title card reads "Perform a free boost or barrel roll action" is it specifying that you can do one of those even if you've already done one that round.

I think the book makes an exception around the same area for free abilities, in short: Yes, he can move, boost, shoot, then boost again. I will find the quote when I get home tonight, if I can remember...

Actually, no he can't. You may only take an action once in any turn regardless of how you get that action.

One could, however, move-boost-shoot-barrel roll, or move-barrel roll-shoot-boost

"Do a barrel roll!" "Use the boost to get through!"

.. .. .. Sorry, couldn't help myself.

Or for more Turrific fun, stick Push the Limit on him - move-focus-shoot-barrel roll-boost.

But no, no double boosting.

That's incorrect. You can't perform the same action twice, in the same round, regardless if it's a free action.

Yup, I definitely misremembered it while thinking wishfully...

So if Turr phennir uses boost then ptl to focus and gains stress does he still get the barrell roll after he shoots?

No.

His ability will trigger, and he'll have the opportunity... but like any action, he won't be able to take it while stressed.

As mentioned above, turr can push the limit after he boosts or barrel rolls after shooting, which is nice.

One of my favorite Interceptor tricks is using Turr to shoot an enemy right in the face, then barrel rolling to the side and boosting out of that enemy's arc with PTL. Does not happen all that often, but man, when it does...

Of course, if you have Yorr around. . . .

Just to make sure the Turr + Push the Limit is clarified:

If he uses Push the Limit in the Activation Phase he is already stressed when he attacks, so he may not take an action.

Move + Action + (Action + Stress) + Attack

However, Push the Limit can trigger off of any action, not just in the Activation Phase, so you can trigger it off of his "free boost or barrel roll action" in the shooting phase.

Move + Action + Attack + Action + (Action + Stress)

You are right on target.

If you like that, check out Ibtisam with PTL and Advanced Sensors.....two actions prior to the dial and the ability to clear the stress with a green dial choice ( unless you wish to utilize the pilot ability)! Or an action prior to movement then use PTL as normal to gain the stress token and really beef up your odds.

Good times.

Or an action prior to movement then use PTL as normal to gain the stress token and really beef up your odds.

You have to use the second PtL action right after the first. You can't use Advanced Sensors for the first, do your maneuver, and then use the second after the maneuver.

So you have to do the double before. Can still work out if you do a white, but a green would clear it whether you wanted it to or not

Correct. I forgot AS killed the normal action phase.

Sorry for any confusion Joker.
