So, an idea occurred to me at some point for Imperials to get past the disruptive tendencies of the rebel crew member Torryn Farr. Though I should point out this is very specific, and still doesn't always allow for target locks that allow for ordnance to be fired, just to modify attack dice.
If you can manage to slow play any TL capable ship into range 3 of a rebel Huge ship and take a target lock, you could then attack with Colonel Vessery and gain target locks as you saw fit for modifying your attack. By keeping the original target locker completely away from the Huge ship, Toryn would never be able to remove their lock. That ship could do its best to survive, but something cheap would be best so you're not paying for it by not taking more TLs, something like a Black Squadron TIE with Targeting Computer or a cheap Bomber. Something both survivable and low priority. And if your opponent commits to stopping you from doing this, then hey… they just blew shots chasing a 14-20 point ship. Yay. You could conceivably do this to both sections of any Huge ship, therefor allowing you to optimally modify your attack no matter what section you are presented with.
