I don't understand why people are fussing about these rules about higher ranking pilots loosing actions to collisions with lower ranked pilots. Its about skill, and having it or not... doesn't it make sense that if you run into somebody you loose your advantage? I think if Im dumb enough to run Wedge into the back of my Rookie Pilot, I shouldn't get to act, I should have been smart enough to know where all my ships were going to end up in the first place. Altering the rules because you don't like following them is paramount to changing the fundamental mechanics developed for a reason in the first place.
It doesn't make sense that the higher skill pilots are more likely to lose an action than an academy pilot. And that's what happens. The low skill pilots get in the way, and the high skill pilot loses an action.
I'm not missing the bluffing part of the game, it just seems backwards.
And to the guy who mentioned a way to do it without the random nature of dice... I'm American. I like dice. :)
