Twice I have had player move a Shuttle using a read Maneuver and then boost afterwards. I'm pretty sure you cannot take an action if your stressed, correct?
The guy told me that the stress token doesn't get added until the end of your movement for that ship and that he could therefore boost afterwards.
Can someone clarify this for me?
You are correct. He cannot boost after a red maneuver. Refer him to page 7 of the rulebook.
You perform the maneuver, then check for stress. Then, IF you do not have stress, you may take an action (like boost).
Your opponent was incorrect. Page 7 covers the steps of the Activation Phase:
3. Execute Maneuver
4. Check Pilot Stress
5. Clean Up
6. Perform Action
Thanks, were in the middle of a second game now. So that helps alot.
Allow me to add a detail:
The guy told me that the stress token doesn't get added until the end of your movement for that ship ...
There is no movement in this game, only maneuvers. Besides that, the above part of the statement is actually correct. What "the guy" did not realize is that boost is not part of the maneuver but an action.
Edit: Tycho can boost after a red maneuver.
Edited by dvorIf you were using advanced sensors however, you could boost first, THEN perform the red maneuver. Or if you were Tycho.
Yep, Tycho would be the only exception to the above as Crabbok pointed out.
If we are pointing out the Tycho exception it is worth noting that while he can perform actions while stressed he can NOT perform red maneuvers while stressed. You could K-turn with him and then TL but until you clear that stress you could not K-turn again.

Of course, his only red maneuvers are Koiograns, and he's got more Green maneuvers than any other ship in the game (the 2 turns and banks and the 2,3,4,and 5 straights.)
