I was thinking of a nasty combination, where a tractor beam pulls a target closer (optimal would be within range 1), so the Gunner can fire the ship's primary weapon.

Can this be linked in this way?

Thank you in advance for your help and thoughts.

Gunner requires you to miss.

And Tractor Beam requires a hit, so......

What you (all of us) want is Imperial veterans. Best of both world with the Defender D title.

Complete answer is "No".
​For a Tractor Beam to be successful, the attack needs to Hit (even though it results in no damage being dealt).
If the attack hits, then Gunner won't get to happen.

Its kind of a parallel to Lieutenant Blount, whose attacks always Hit even if he deals no damage.

Got and thank you all for the quick answers. Much appreciated!
