I also notice that Damaged Sensor Array is much more restrictive this go around. I like it, since some ships can't just flat-out ignore it anymore.

The rules say it replaces the original core set's deck. Claiming that you don't have to use the new one because it says "should" instead of "must" is silly.

I didn't claim anything. I posted what the rules say. We don't really know what will happen until we see a tournament document, given the fact that some might not buy the new set. Lots of rules in the tournament document are different from the rulebook.

Is it just me or is the blue ace's ability really neat. You can do a hard 1 instead of 1 straight for a boost. With the new Tallon roll, k-turn, and the option of a stright boost or hard turn boost, you will not be able to predict where the frick it will end up.you can do U-turns, tallon roll then turnboost so your guns are pointing into a trailing ship, so fun.

It's an action is it not? Therefore can't do it after Tallon Roll cause it's red right?

Giving the small ships great and less predictable dials really seems like they're trying to undo the blocking & arc dodging high ps big ships with turrets and engine upgrade dominance. Tallon roll especially is a huge boon for jousting x wings that were ridiculously easy to block on the k turn.

It almost seems a bit like a "in hindsight this is how it should've been" reboot except not.

Correct, without something to somehow eat the stress you can't boost after the tallon roll.

I'm flying so casual I don't know the rules. :P Still looking at the dial, and the option of boost 1 straight or boost 1 hard left or right, you can end up in so many places it will be really hard for pursuing ships to predict your move.

BB-8, plus PtL. Barrel roll, push for second action, take a green maneuver to clear the stress, then take a third action after you move.

Push the Limit can trigger any time after you perform an action, not just during the "Perform Action" step after moving. You can do the same sort of trick with Push the Limit/Advanced Sensors on something like a B-Wing. So in this case BB-8 gives you a barrel roll after you reveal your dial but before you move, you use Push the Limit to springboard off of that, then you make your move and since it's green you clear the stress PtL gave you, whereupon you get your third move.

Yeah, selecting might not have been the best word. You end up getting the stress from PtL before you actually move, which means it then clears and you can still take a normal action.

If they ever print any Tech upgrades with a printed action, you could take 4 actions in one turn with Enhanced Interface too!

You can do the same thing right now with, say, a B-Wing, Push the Limit, and Advanced Sensors, though because Advanced Sensors actually takes the place of your regular Perform Action you don't get three of them, but you do still get to do "take action with AdvSens, PTL for another action, reveal green maneuver and clear stress."

I don't particularly give a gently caress what someone calls it, but it'd be kinda dumb to call it an Immelman no matter how identical the maneuver is if the setting is Star Wars.

Fine, it's a Split-S then?

Right but advanced sensors is worded as before you reveal your maneuver. Not sure if that changes things or not tho.

1). Select a green maneuver.

2). Before you reveal your maneuver, use Advanced Sensors to take an action.

3). Use Push the Limit to take a second action, gain a stress.

4). Reveal your maneuver dial, take the green maneuver you selected, remove your stress.

The only thing that's different with BB-8 is that the barrel roll goes off after you reveal the dial instead of before, but it still happens before you actually take the movement. So reveal, barrel roll, trigger PTL, then move...and because neither BB-8 nor PTL actually deny you your regular Perform Action (like Advanced Sensors does) then you proceed right along to that step free of stress and able to perform your third action of the turn.

I mean, sure, but you're really arguing semantics here and not intent. They want you to use the new deck, and that's clearly stated. The only question really is when/if they will require it for official events.

The barrel roll is not named for anyone in particular, and is called that because the maneuver resembles the craft looping around the perimeter of a barrel. There are, in fact, barrels in Star Wars. Go figure.

I don't particularly give a gently caress what someone calls it, but it'd be kinda dumb to call it an Immelman no matter how identical the maneuver is if the setting is Star Wars.

They don't have english letters but still managed to devise X-wings, K-wings, and Y-wings

B-wings got lost in translation prolly, they're obviously T-wings

Yeah, most likely. I'm assuming they'd add it to the next tournament FAQ, but there'll probably be some time allowance, etc.

I have to say that I hope these new dials are the wave of the future for ships. Even without the boost or barrel roll options, these shops are way more maneuverable, which will make the generic ships far more interesting on the table. Green turns on the FO is super fun to think about!

Could you push the limit again after you take your 3rd action? Or is it once per round?

I will bet one hundred earth dollars that "you have to have an updated damage deck" is added to the tournament FAQ after a reasonable amount of time for new starter sets to make it to store shelves has passed. There's no way they put that in the rulebook for the new starter without plans to make it the new default damage deck and anyone who tries weasel-wording their way around it is almost assuredly going to be told "no, bring a new damage deck or don't play in this tournament, thanks."

PTL specifies once per round, so you can't chain multiple uses of it. Still, three actions in one go is pretty good stuff.
