When she hits and takes a focus token does the focus token get used in the next round or is mainly for defense that turn?

It will be removed the next turn during the end phase.

It can be

1) used for the Gunner attack, if you have one

thanks for correcting. Attack that HITS required

2) For defence against PS8- enemy peasants that turn.

p.s. Whisper is a male, Echo is a female, no?

It's for defense. It means she can spend her focus token with impunity on her attack, knowing that a good attack will give her a focus token back.

Wouldn't work for gunner, since you need to hit to assign it.

Also note that it's an assigned focus token, not a focus action, so you can end up with two, and you can get it even when stressed.

It can only be used for defence.

It can't be used for Gunner because a hit it required for the focus and Gunner triggers when there are no hits.

They both women, and yeah, it's a defence thing. I've been running her with reconspec recently, for the 3-focus overkill. Nothing says 'screw you' to tlts like that! Sensor jammer is slightly better, but then you lose fcs, and that makes her such a terror: corran and whisper are the best fcs ships in the game, imo.

We don't actually know that. One has been referred to as both he and she, one has never been referred to with a pronoun at all.

In my headcanon Whisper is indeterminate, but i'd say male, Echo is a lady.

Me too.

I'm the same. I honestly don't care what their genders are, it's completely irrelevant to how they do in the game.

I get tired of seeing people spreading false info, but I'd make the same sort of correction if someone refers to Howlrunner as he.

It semi matters from a narrative perspective.

In my case it rarely, rarely rarely rarely rarely matters.

Each of those rares you can take as adding an extra couple of zeroes infront of the decimal point.

The reason: My narratives have their own pilots, generated names, sometimes histories.

Darth Vader in the X1 is Colonel Zechs Daryuz, CO of Black Omega Squadron.

If I was a girl, then it'd probably be Colonel Alicia Vess, Black Omega.

A friend of mine who is in my campaigns has Eclipse Squadron, which is TIE Interceptors (I nickname them red eclipse, he uses my royal guard ints) His soontir fel is Voidkiller. He's generated D20 stats for her, but she has a name, a winning record, a history and my respect.

It semi matters from a narrative perspective.

Sure if you have a narrative that involves Imperial pilots then it would matter. But mechanically it doesn't matter.

That said it is a pet peeve of mine when people spread false information. Echo was originally referred to as He/Him/His a number of times. Yet people insisted that Echo was actually a she. Then in one of the FAQ's Echo was referred to as she.

That means either FFG had used the wrong term in a number of articles, used the wrong term in the FAQ or changed their mind.

But for Whisper, there has never been a gender pronoun used so we have no way of knowing if Whisper is male or female.

Myself I like the idea that Echo and Whisper are code names and could be anyone.

Whisper could be Trans...

Imperial Dread Pirate Roberts...

Yeah, whisper and echo being codenames makes the most sense.

same here.

Yay. This debate again!

Nah, whisper is definitely a female.

Echo was referred to as HE all the time

but then FAQ'd to she.

and then back to He.

So Echo is "****, I can't see!" shady one. But the way he\she\it moves makes you think it's a female, because

curved bank templates and she breakes your brains and your opponent brains with limitless possibilities

You're wrong there. The focus token will get removed at the end of the current turn along with everyone else's focus and evade tokens. And not quite possible in defence against PS8 pilots, unless Whisper has VI, making it PS9. Taking Whisper with VI isn't an automatic choice, just a logical one.

Ever seen a whisper with no VI, adv cloaking devise and 3-5 points of initiative bid?

I did. It died fast and without glory.

it's an automatic choice if you want it to survive, because othersiwe it's survivability is that of a z-95

it's a be first to fire or die doing nothing ship.

and tokens are removed during End subphase. after Horn makes his double-tap.

Yes I have seen Whisper without VI, and more than once. One should never assume anything in this game. And your comment about the tokens being removed in the End phase is right, but next turn was incorrect.
