Wow- so many Push the Limits in these lists!

Is it really that helpful? A free action is huge, but the stress token...! What do you do on the next turn? If you are denied an action, you can't perform a free action, right? Or- ah, I think I see it. Spend your action on the next turn to clear the stress token, then use PTL again for an action.

Interesting...

Tycho with PTL is not much of a hindrance, which is why it's pretty much a no-brainer on him, especially if you aren't taking missiles, the chardaan refit makes PTL a 1 point upgrade.

Not quite - it's making a green maneuver that rids you of one stress.

This meant Push the Limit is particularly valuable on ships that can do green hard turns, as they have great movement options while still getting a second action. Some turreted ships also do the same as they're not as worried about where they go.
