G-8 Experimental Projector

When a ship’s speed is temporarily reduced, its speed dial is not changed and its current speed is equal to the number on its speed dial minus one until the end of that maneuver. This temporary reduction never changes the speed value on the physical speed dial.

When using this upgrade card its owner must use this card before an enemy ship resolves the Determine Course Step. The user of this Upgrade Card should declare their intentions and exhaust this card as soon as possible so their opponent may know the range of legal maneuvers. Adjusting the maneuver tool and resolving a Navigation command to adjust speed or yaw happen after this Upgrade Card is used. Waiting to use this Upgrade Card until an opponent is about to lock in a maneuver with the Maneuver Tool is a missed opportunity.

This Upgrade Card may be resolved on an enemy ship executing a non-standard maneuver granted by an upgrade card, objective, or any other effect.

The maneuver granted by Engine Techs, Quantum Storm, or Admiral Ozzel (officer) may be affected by this Upgrade Card.

This Upgrade Card does not trigger The Grand Inquisitor as the ship’s speed dial is not changed.

If a ship’s speed is temporarily slowed by an effect such as this Upgrade Card, that ship will not be able to use Take Evasive Action!. For example, a ship’s “current speed” is 3. It is then temporarily slowed to “2”, but this temporary reduction in speed does not change the ship’s speed dial. Since the ship’s “current speed” is 3, but forced to conduct the maneuver at speed 2, Take Evasive Action! cannot modify the yaw value in the speed 2 chart.

This Upgrade Card would not prevent Moff Jerjerrod’s effect from resolving.

This Upgrade Card effect stacks with the speed reduction of the Gravity Rift Obstacle.

This Upgrade Card may affect the special rule maneuver granted by Rift Ambush.
