I played this last night:

Serissu (25)
M3-A “Scyk” Interceptor (20), Swarm Tactics (2), “Heavy Scyk” Interceptor (2), Tractor beam (1)

Palob Godalhi (29)
HWK-290 (20), Twin Laser Turret (6), Moldy Crow (3)

Cartel Spacer (23) x 2
M3-A “Scyk” Interceptor (14), “Heavy Scyk” Interceptor (2), Heavy Laser Cannon (7)

And felt pretty mean as I pushed ships onto a rock, lowered their agility, took their defensive token and then double HLCed them. Not that it stopped me.

For the first time, my Scyks actually felt awesome.

I agree - it is nasty and great. Especially on Vessery with the title. I tried out this last night:

Colonel Vessery (43)

outmanouver (3) tractor beam (1) engine upgrade (4)

Navi Boba (45)

veteran instincts (1) seismic charges (2) navigator (3) long range scanners (0) slave I (0)

Academy pilot (12)

My opponent thought that Boba was the main threat. It was his last mistake Vessery with double tap and outmanouver (which felt as too much, considering the TB ability to lower agility) was awesome. I played against scum Kath Scarlett with ion bombs and dual TLT y-wings. They didn't stand a chance against Vessery. Even Kath chased by him couldn't do too much with her rear arc additional attack die. I think this combo is great. Although I should have taken targeting computer on my TIE Fighter instead of the bomb to assure triggering Vessery's ability (as I lost Boba Fett due to a close meeting with ion bombs).

All in all - tractor beam feels OP. Maybe it's because not everyone knows how it works yet.

Vessery is the only real user for it.

And worse than that, most aces don't care about it. Go on, hit the 3-evade token-stack

Which aces would that be? By most, do you mean Fel?

Fel, Vader, kHorn

add to that the fact that anyone outside Vessery has even less chances to tag them with the Gravgun of Awesome

Serissu with a tractor beam and VI is something I'm interested in trying. I'm probably going to pair her up with Talonbane, and try and drag things into range 1 of him...

want FUN?
Razzi is Kobra's bro-for-life

Anything that can take a tractor beam and crackshot should be making Fel feel nervous. He now needs 4 evades to guarantee he evades it, if he doesn't his stealth goes pop and he's rolling 2 agility for the rest of the turn. A crackshot vessery with tie/d and tractor beam has a great chance of soloing Fel in one turn. And if you can hit Fel, you can hit any ace

That's a pretty impressive list voidstate, and looks like a lot of fun.

I'm planning on making use of the Punishing One/Mist Hunter upgrades myself:

N'dru Suhlak - Lone Wolf, Cluster Missiles, Guidance Chips

Talonbane Cobra - Crackshot, Cloaking Device

Cartel Spacer - Heavy Scyk, Heavy Laser Cannon x 2

Might be tempted to switch the HLCs to Mangler & Stealth Device...

Cobra lacking engine upgrade, ptl, glitterstims, predators...

is a weird cobra.

and where's the tractor? it's a tractor-happy party

...not to mention potentially being moved back into the firing arc of other ships...

Used this last night for first game of the night it was horrific first I killed an a-wing in a turn, then a TLT y-wing that never knew what hit it, and then after I killed IA equipped x-wing my mate conceeded.

I took zero damage that game.

Then I used

First round of shooting vessery did five damage three to keyan two to asty then the deltas killed the b-wing.

Being able to deny a ship a shot is powerful, barrel rolling then onto rocks is just evil.

And no one agility ship is going to last long.

Fel, Vader, kHorn

I think Outrider Vrill doesn't care much. Especially if you can get a stress on one of the aces.

OUTRIDER Vrill??? With a TRACTOR BEAM?

I think you might want to reread those cards buddy.

I want to try Laetin in a list with Tractor Beam. His PS is higher and I think his ability can be really annoying....as long as you don't fail that first evade.

I think Laetin makes for a fun and potentially strong TB carrier. (Consumption FTW!) But you really want some way to get that PS higher. If only he had an EPT... or an illicit slot... or an extra shield... man, the Scyk sucks.

WHEN YOU CAN DO IT AGAIN!

Also cheap enough to force your opponent into difficult choices. Add a Stealth Device, hang back at or around range 3 and take the Evade action...

Laetin in that build can be incredibly disruptive and difficult to deal with, but not the kind of ship you want in the end game, really. Needs to be combined with some punchy, punchy ships.

I'm thinking something like this....

If I can get an ace to spend a couple of tokens on a 0 damage attack that's pretty solid. Also as it costs 1 point it doesn't need to be a god gun, it basically needs to be used one time all game for its movement shenanigans and it's worth it. People perform oral deeds on crack shot for its 1x use per game but say tbeam is bad because a 1 point cannon doesn't kill soontir fel.

Love it treybert! Now that's what I call an alpha strike...

How about tractor beam helping make Advance Homing Missiles a little more viable. Better chance of getting a target into that range 2 band. An edge case but could make your opponent sweat just a little bit more.

I for one, want to put it on Moralo Eval.

Dumb question, how are you playing the card with it not released yet?

Give you a hint: It starts with "p" and rhymes with proxy.

Obviously not legal in store championships at the moment but now that it is spoiled, run with it in casual games.
