Mindlink will affect scum as much as autothrusters did

Drea unfortunately has no EPT (probably they knew why, certain EPTs like Mindlink on her with R4-B11 could be brutal).

Oh, man. Drea with R4-B11 and a mindlinked TPV running around the back feeding her Focus tokens....

I'll be in my bunk.

Could still throw manaroo in a list with her to give her focus tokens, albeit not quite as good as a normal manaroo passing tokens alongside mindlink.

Nobody mentioning Twin fire control B and C IGs? Large amount of green on dial and the fact they rarely do reds at the same time means the stress you get will rarely be problematic.

It's worth running some experiments on, but as a dedicated Bot pilot I'm not convinced. It will make maneuvering the Bots needlessly complicated in order to manage the stress, and I don't think an extra Focus token is going to be worth it.
Plus it means no Crack Shot, and I'm not sure I'm willing to give that up. :lol:

I don't know how you think autothrusters affected scum because they came out at the same time. :huh:

If you wanted to be sarcastic you should have said wave 7. :P

well only two scum ships can use autothrusters so mindlink is likely going to be used in more types of lists.

This has to be one of the best ideas for mindlink I've seen so far.

I like Bossk + Kath with mindlink. They have equal pilotskill so you can always choose who moves first. Really good!

I am going to try Mindlink on 4-lom and Palob. Give Palob a TLT, Wired and Zuckuss. Give 4-lom Dengar or k4.

Then, Focus with Palob, Evade with 4-lom. Get into range 1 of something with 4-lom, and use Zuckuss stress to give 4-lom his stress after the combat phase.
