Esege Tuketu and the Corvette

By X Wing Nut, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Does Esege Tuketu ability work with the Corvette?

I'm sure it does and I'm also sure somewhere on this forum is an email from frank saying it does but I cant find it.

We just played an epic tournament over the weekend and this came up. The TO ruled it as his ability applies as he has also seen the email. I would just like to know where it is in case it comes up again

thanks

From the Huge Ship rules, page 4:

Focus, evade, and stress tokens do not affect huge ships. When a huge ship receives any of these tokens, immediately remove them and return them to the token supply.

that is what started the conflict. but somewhere out there in cyberspace there is supposed to be an email from frank overriding that rule

The reason it works is that Esege is holding the token and is allowing the CR-90 to spend it. The CR-90 at no time takes possession of the token. If it did take possession it would immediately have to discard the focus token.

The only small ship ability ignoring, and being ignored by, huge ships is Biggs and those handing out free actions. Every other ability affecting another ship may benefit a huge ship.

So you may have a ps12, focused, extra red die rolling, autocritting, autohitting monster of an attack with a Corvette. If you set it up right.

I know the ps 12, extra attack die, and focus, but what ships make them auto hit and auto crit?

That's my plan alright

I can see how biggs would be very powerful. We built our squad up not knowing til we were setting up that this was a no go. Shame but Biggs still survived to the end.

Also this happened

Canor Jax within range 1 of Esege but not of the CR-90. Can the CR-90 still use the focus? I believe yes. Because you treat it as your own.

So Esege was not using it but he CR-90 was.

Yeah, Carnor would stop Esege from using a focus, but not the CR90.

or any other ship at range one of Esege but not range 1 of Jax
