Plus, I thought LRS could only be equipped if you had the missile and torpedo slots in your upgrade bar - the stock bounty hunter has missile and bomb.

I might playtest the following:

Vessery w/ TIE/D, tractor, Ruthlessness, Mk II

2* Gamma Vet w/ Deadeye, proton torpedo, extra munitions, proximity mines, long-range scanners

Everyone seems to be ditching LRS in favor of guidance chips, but Deadeye allows you to keep your target lock (acquired Turn 1 w/ LRS) because you're spending a focus to fire. So Vessery gets to shoot first with a target lock from one of the bombers, and then the bombers get to shoot their torpedoes with the potential re-roll from a target lock (after flipping an eye to a crit if any are rolled). That seems pretty good.

To be fair, though, LRS forces you to target lock at least a turn before the engagement in this scenario, and a savvy player could use that to ensure that his target locked ships aren't in range of one or more bombers during the alpha strike.

I dunno. Lots of exciting options on the horizon though!

The Stock Bounty Hunter doesn't have a Torpedo slot, but that Slave 1 title that gives a torpedo slot is free. Only works on one, but it does work.

I thought about that, but neglected to check the language for the card. It does say "your upgrade bar gains" so I would assume that that counts...good point.

Lots of things someone can do with LRS. You can still change your TL on your target the round you fire, as long as you aren't in R2 of your new target when you do it. If you are going with LRS, the chances are that you move first and won't be in R2. So, if you can get the other ship to veer off for a couple of turns while you still have a shot at someone else it's all win-win for the LRS pilot.

If Vets only comes with Gamma Vets (ps5) does that mean Deathrain will share it's token with a gamma vet? Is this a first that a named pilot shares a token with a generic with higher ps?

Not if Colzet has a storm on the back of his thing, not sure if its a storm or tempest.

He's got a tempest.
