Esege Tuketu - "friendly ships attacking"

By cjnj193, in X-Wing

Hello all, so I was just wanted to correct myself before I started thinking too hard, but for Esege's ability it states that when a friendly ship is attacking, it may treat your focus tokens as your own. Does this take into affect after a secondary weapon check occurs? Like could I have esege and take Prockets on an A wing, then have his ability satisfy the requirement for a focus? Because if so then his ability seems like it can work well with a ship that has deadeye or a blaster turret as well to offer much more freedom in actions chosen.

Or I can be totally wrong and it only works while attack dice are being rolled

A friendly ship without a focus should be able to fire Proton Rockets while at range 1-2 of Esege if he has a focus token or use it to fuel a blaster turret.

Recon Specialist on Esege with a couple of lower PS ordnance carriers with Deadeye could be pretty cool.

Meh. Just realized that Green squads are really the only low PS ordnance carriers that have an EPT slot.

I'm sure someone is going to think of a really amazing outcome to use with this, especially, if the accompanying ships take Extra Munitions.

Esege + Dantels, mayhaps.

Though you could have a little ship walk up, Target Lock, and then use Esege's Focus to modify the attack. Might not be terrible.

R2D6 can give it to the astromech peoples of PS 3+

The verbiage does appear to satisfy the Attack (focus): requirement of Proton Rockets. I was sceptical, but "treat as their own" does seem to work that way.

Arvel with Intimidation firing a Proton Rocket to the face is now way easier. I call for a sudden and immediate nerf to Arvel...he is OP.

This lets A wings boost to range 1 and have focus for prockets without PTL, useful for protos or just saving points on people like gemmer or arvel.
