Another thing FFG doesn't believe is worth its time to trivially clarify.

I've seen lots of people on FFG's forums talk of using Stay on Target to change the 1 bank right to a 1 reverse straight etc, because they're supposedly all the same speed. Because FFG isn't clear on this, it's very hard to call them wrong. If they are wrong, then that means you can Navigator a 1 reverse straight to a 2 straight. What about Shaken Pilot? Is the reverse straight a straight maneuver or something special? Treating the maneuvers as -1 speed based on the maneuver chart is equally right.

These are unanswered and unanswerable, since past experience has proven there's no consistent logic guiding FFG's wording, and trying to argue it out is a death-trap for a good person's sanity. Eventually all the sophist's argumentation in the world amounts to perverse self-aggrandizing, of which I've seen far too much on FFG's forums. Sadly it always spirals into the same dozen people insulting each other quite viciously. Seriously FFG, this is so easy to resolve. But FFG doesn't respond to most questions, in my experience... they just don't care.

All we can do is corner an FFG dev in the parking lot and intimidate an answer out of him, then release the video online as durable proof. I'd say we'd need at least 50 people for a properly convincing lynch mob. Who's with me?! ;)
