Pattern analyzer reposition off obstacle

Does a ship that uses Pattern Analyzer to reposition off of an obstacle still skip its Perform Action Step?

No, it will not skip its perform action step.

The effect of skipping your perform action step is triggered by ending your maneuver on an obstacle. Pattern Analyzer triggers while a ship is executing a red maneuver, meaning that the ship has not yet ended its maneuver, so using the action granted by Pattern Analyzer to reposition away from the obstacle will prevent you from suffering that effect. However, you will still suffer all the other effects of moving through or overlapping that obstacle.
