All this talk about the M3-A recently has made me want to play with it again. This is something I thought of that might be interesting to use.

M3-A (Laetin A'shera) (30)

-Title (Cannon)

|- Heavy Laser Cannon

-Stealth Device

Y-Wing (Kavil) (31)

-Veteran Instincts

-Blaster Turret

-R4 Agromech (does the spent focus from designating a target for the Blaster Turret trigger this?)

YV-666 (Trandoshan Slaver) (36)

-Gunner

-Bossk

TOTAL = 97pts

People might see the heavy hitting Kavil and Slaver as big enough threats that the evasive M3-A would not be focused down in favour of easier to hit and closer targets (namely Kavil) allowing him to get more shots off from the fringes of the fight.

Yes, the astromech lets you claim a target lock after spending a focus.

And with leftover points I recommend Tactician on the Slaver.

I was thinking about that but wasn't sure, it would be great with it's 180 arc.

Tactician will only apply when in the firing arc of standard ships, 45* to a side. Not the YV's auxiliary arc of 90* to a side. But still very good!

Tactician apply to all the 180 firing arc of the YV-666, it is not limited to the primary. Just like it works with the Auxiliary arc of the Firespray. Auxiliary and Primary, they are both firing arc.

People tend to forget Tactician and Outmaneuver work with auxiliary arcs (I've caught people out with an Outmaneuver Firespray a few times).

Don't forget auto thrusters in that list. I have had people argue that to no end that they get it even in axillary arcs lol.
