Entrapment Formation! Does not resolve a navigation command, and thus, do not trigger abilities such as Engine Techs.

In regards to Entrapment Formation!, Engine Techs, and G-8 Experimental Projector:
Can you use Entrapment Formation! Or other ability to change your Engine Techs maneuver speed?
A ship’s speed (on its speed dial), and the speed of a maneuver granted by an ability, are not the same thing.
When a ship uses Entrapment Formation! Or a navigation command to increase or decrease speed, that ships speed (shown on its speed dial) is changed, not the speed of the maneuver being performed by an ability such as Engine Techs.
Engine Techs is a set temporary “speed 1 maneuver”, regardless of the speed of that ships speed dial. When G-8 Experimental Projector are exhausted, they are targeting the speed of the current maneuver, not the ships speed dial.
