Card discard

I have question about cards, can I discard a card without using it (like for repairing of swapping) or am I forced to use it or programme it?

In the Wave 1.5 release (Wave 1, Shipment 2) we added a line to the rulebook saying that you can choose to scrap a card for no effect instead of playing it to your line.

Where in the rulebook is this stated? I purchased a Wave 1, Shipment 1 and a friend has just received his Wave 1, Shipment 2. Aside for some rule reordering the only thing added was a rule for Skewer (command card).

I've not found something like this (in french version you could, but not in english one). Can you give me text saying that ?

Look at Program at the Rule book: All players program at the same time and must slot or discard all command cards - they cannot be saved for later

Yes but too many other rules : "Once all players have drafted their Command Card(s), they may then choose to either program or scrap them." You can scrap, not discard. "During Draft, Command Cards that you pick can be immediately scrapped (discarded) instead of being programmed into your Command Line." "You have the option to slot these cards into your Command Line, or scrap (discard) them for immediate effect"

What I understand is : only 2 choices, scrap or program.

But I'd like to know what other understand this point not so clear.

However, can we repair even without damage ? can we swap with 5 damages ?

you can't swag with 5 damaged slots (you can only swap undamaged slots)
