Kyle Katarn/Comms Booster

By Verlaine, in X-Wing

Here's a trick I came up with involving Kyle Katarn. Not the first to think of it, although I could not find this particular form elsewhere. What you need:

Huge Ship

- Comms Booster

Jan Ors

- Kyle Katarn (Crew)

- Experimental Interface

- Expert Handling

- Moldy Crow Title

- (Blaster Turret)

Jan Ors moves, performs a focus action, then activates EI to do a barrel roll. The HWK has received two stress tokens.

During the energy phase, the huge ship uses comms booster on the HWK. It receives three focus tokens and all stress is removed.

Jan helps another ship attack. Receives a stress token.

Next round, Jan Ors does a green move. A stress token is removed, which grants a focus token. By continuing as above, the HWK will gain a total of 5 focus tokens this round and each round thereafter.

That's a lot of stims...

Seriously though, having a focus on every defense will make that a really cool HWK. Pity there's no way to pass them out, though. Great theory crafting!

I thought comma booster only assigns 1 focus token to the ship it removes stress from

Comms* stupid autocorrect

Kyle K assigns a focus token when a stress is removed.

I thought comma booster only assigns 1 focus token to the ship it removes stress from

Kyle has no limit per round: each time you remove a stress token, you receive a focus token. There's the loophole. If Kyle is sitting on a pile of stress tokens, comms booster will remove them all in one go and add a focus token as a bonus: removing two stress grants three focus.
