Marksmanship
Action: When attacking this round, you may change 1 of your Focus results to a Critical Hit result and all your other Focus results to hit results.
Is this on each attack or across all of them from that ship that round? Assuming for the sake of the example I roll three focuses both times, do I change them both to Crit Hit Hit or one to Crit Hit Hit and the other to Hit Hit Hit?
Edited by Lagomorphiado I change them both to Crit Hit Hit or one to Crit Hit Hit and the other to Hit Hit Hit?
Yes. Marksmanship applies to every attack made by that ship that round. That's why it's fairly popular with the YT-1200 and Gunner, because it applies to both attacks. It also works with things like Cluster Missiles.
It does effect all attacks that ship performs in a single round. That rare instance is one of two times that Marksmanship is good.
The other is when used by a pilot whose ability requires critical hits to be useful (e.g. Ten Nunb, Marke Stele, Kath Scarlet)
Maarek was who I was thinking of, giving him Marks and Cluster. I like to try and coax the best out of the little-used pilots.

The problem with coaxing out the best Maarek you can get is that you're stuck with a Maarek.
I mean, he's got a great pilot ability...for a 3 attack ship. In a 2 attack ship, how often do your crits actually get through?

The best upgrade for Maarek costs 2 points. In addition to the main effect, it increases is PS by 2.
