Engine Techs

This Upgrade Card should be interpreted as if it read: “Navigation Command: After you execute a maneuver, you may exhaust this card to execute a speed-1 maneuver. While you execute a maneuver, if you overlapped a ship, exhaust this card.” This clarifies the timing, making this Upgrade Card unable to be used if you overlapped a ship.

When the ship executes this maneuver, it can click the first joint of the maneuver tool using its usual yaw value for the first joint at speed 1.

The ship cannot resolve a navigation command during this Upgrade Card’s maneuver, but can resolve other effects that trigger during a “Maneuver course step” such as Admiral Ozzel.

A ship equipped with this Upgrade Card must have resolved a Navigation Command during that ship’s Determine Course Step in order to resolve this Upgrade Card after a maneuver. A Navigation command can be resolved using a dial, token, or dial & token together. The Navigation command must be resolved during that ship’s initial Determine Course Step maneuver before the ship executes a maneuver. A Navigation token or dial cannot be spent after the initial maneuver to subsequently resolve this Upgrade Card.

After executing a maneuver, you may use the range ruler to verify ranges before deciding whether or not to exhaust this Upgrade Card.

If you declare the use of this Upgrade Card and exhaust the card, once you have picked up the maneuver tool for the additional maneuver you are committed to using this Upgrade Card. You can no longer change your mind and not execute the maneuver, as the only time you can handle the maneuver tool is when a ship is conducting a maneuver.

If a ship has the faceup damage card Thrust Control Malfunction, it only affects this Upgrade Card if the ship’s physical speed dial is set to “l”. Other abilities can add the reduced yaw back.

If a ship has the faceup damage card Ruptured Engine and if the ship’s physical speed dial is greater than 1, an Engine Techs maneuver would damage the ship. However if your ship speed dial is set to 1, it would not damage the ship.

During Admiral Ozzel (Officer) movement, if you somehow have the ability to resolve a Navigation Command, you could then also resolve this Upgrade Card.

If Demolisher is equipped with this Upgrade Card, it cannot perform attacks after it executes the maneuver granted by this Upgrade Card.

The maneuver granted by this Upgrade Card may be affected by G-8 Experimental Projectors or the Gravity Rift Obstacle.

Entrapment Formation only changes a ship’s speed dial, it does not resolve the Navigation Command required to use this Upgrade Card.

You cannot use Entrapment Formation to increase or decrease the speed of this Upgrade Card’s maneuver, as it is a temporary speed 1 maneuver. You can, however, change your ship’s speed dial by 1 during the Determine Course Step of this Upgrade Card’s extra maneuver.

Take Evasive Action applies to a ship’s maneuver if the ship is at speed 1 when this Upgrade Card is resolved.

General Madine’s ability does not affect the maneuver granted by this Upgrade Card. This is because General Madine’s ability must be resolved in the first maneuver’s Determine Course Step.
