Overdrive Thrusters

[striker474]

Overdrive Thrusters:

While you perform a red Boost, Barrel Roll or SLAM action, you must use a template of 1 speed higher if able.

Black One (Title):

Adds: White SLAM

Adds:

After you perform a SLAM action, lose 1 (Charge) . Then you may gain 1 ion token to remove 1 disarm token.

SLAM per-Rules Reference Guide:

A ship can perform a SLAM action only as the ship’s one action during the Perform Action step. 
Therefore a ship cannot perform a SLAM action if it is granted an action from another effect.

 

How would Overdrive Thruster trigger off of a T-70's SLAM if you can only perform a white SLAM action?

Both are T-70 exclusive and Unique so this combo would be restricted to a singe ship per fleet list.

It looks like you're using an older Rules Reference Guide, that entry has since been updated.

SLAM

Pilots can SLAM by activating their SubLight Acceleration Motors and careening through space at incredible speeds. A ship performs a SLAM action by performing the following steps:

1. The player chooses a maneuver from the ship’s dial. The maneuver must match the speed of the maneuver that the ship executed this round
2. The ship executes the chosen maneuver
3. The ship gains one disarm token

A ship can perform a SLAM action only during its activation in the Activation Phase. Therefore a ship cannot perform a SLAM action if it is granted an action at any other time.

• A SLAM action fails if the final position of the ship would cause it to flee
• When a ship performs a SLAM action, it has performed an action as well as executed a maneuver for the sake of abilities
