"Redline" Tie Punisher

Hmm, double target lock; this seems amazing.

Most secondary weapons require the expenditure of a target lock to use the weapon. Often this means what you roll is what you are stuck with. With two target locks you now get a chance to improve your attack dice and improve your damage output with these expensive one use upgrades (Extra Munitions will reduce the cost of these upgrades).

Lets look past the basics and imagine the use of Advanced Proton Torpedoes. As before you need a target lock and will want a Focus when the torpedo is launched, not always the easiest thing to do. But, with two target locks and no focus for Advanced Proton Torpedoes just became more stable of a use with a 75% chance of doing 5 damage. Target Locks with no Focus means you still have a chance to push a decent amount of damage. With a focus the chance of getting 5 damage is 97.5%, up

1 TL, 0 Focus

And if you use Fire control system and shoot at your intended target on your approach, then you'll have your Two TL and can focus on the turn you are in range 1. Then you will have your focus and TL to use on your attack.
