Firespray + Tactician

By dreamfv, in X-Wing Rules Questions

A Firesplay equipped Tactician can effect Tactician's ability to a enemy ship in range 2 inside Auxiliary Fire arc?

FAQ Outmaneuver

"The auxiliary firing arc of the Firespray-31 is a firing arc." is only Outmaneuver ?

Yes, tactician works from the rear arc at Range 2.

The real question is, why are you not taking Captive or ReconSpec or Gunner (in that order), on your Firesprays. :P

Because Tactician is amazing on the Firespray. :)

Hehehe.

That extra point for Rebel Captive is probably worth it.

Twice as good as a matter of fact.

With no possibility of taking Gunner (one crew slot) to go along with Tactician I'd take Captive - any day.

What about the same Tactician card on the Falcon or any ship with a turret weapon, or is it only out of an arc rather than the 360 ability?

thanks

Tactician will only work from the printed fire arc of the Falcon - the front of the ship.

The Falcon has a firing arc, it just has an ability to shoot outside of it. Tactician must be in arc to be triggered. Plus, be aware that if the target is closer than range 2 out of arc, closest point to closest point dictates the range on a turreted ship, not just the range in arc.

ok thanks

Even if the target is at Range 2 in arc and Range 2 out of arc, if the closest point on your ship is out of arc, you cannot trigger Tactician. You will often find that the closest point on your ship is the corner of the base, which is out of arc.
