Dead eye and Homing missiles

By PanchoX1, in X-Wing Rules Questions

question:

Dead eye states: you may treat the ATTACK:Target Lock header as ATTACK: Focus. When an attack instructs you to sped a target lock you may spend a focus token instead

Homing missiles states: ATTACK: Target Lock (no spend requirement)

Can I use deadeye/focus to fire homing missiles while holding a focus token? deadeye states the need to spend in the second half of the card but not the first half.

Can I use deadeye/focus to fire homing missiles while holding a focus token?

Yes, you can; no need to spend the focus if the attack doesn't ask you to spend the lock.

And that still leaves it for you to use for dice modification.

Yep, Deadeye is very nice for homing missile and adv. homing missile just for that reason. Also good for low ps ships that move first that can't quite get range on a high ps ship.

And that still leaves it for you to use for dice modification.

But by then, you'd use it like a normal focus token, not like a target lock being spent, right?
