I dunno. When you've got a homing missile, spending the target lock for rerolls is part of the punch you're paying 5 points a shot for.

I think she's going to work well in a 2-3 ship squad - where she can lock one target and one foe; the key problem with weapons engineer is that whilst you double up on target locks, you can't double down your improved firepower on one target. G8 makes that possible. Example squad:

• Norra Wexley - Alliance Overhaul, Push The Limit, Tailgunner, R2-D2, Vectored Thrust
• Shara Bey - Alliance Overhaul, Adaptability, Weapons Engineer, M9-G8
• Biggs Darklighter - R4-D6, Integrated Astromech

Biggs does what Biggs does - but that little bit better, because the biggest threat will be rerolling one hit/crit on their attack dice. Norra will be throwing out a three-dice attack with focus, a 1 die reroll, and an extra automatic hit, and Shara's still got a target locked attack herself. Even once Biggs goes down, Shara remains an annoying support who you can't afford to ignore - because she's essentially passing Norra predator and Norra can use her own target locks defensively.

.....And then the Black One title messes it all up.

Love the list.

I agree about homing missle, but say you have two Talas with homing. You lock the enemy and one of the Talas. The locked tala is now firing 4 dice with chips, focus and a reroll. Second Tala is then free to spend target lock, so it has target lock, focus and chips. This is what I had in mind:

Biggs Darklighter (26) - X-Wing

R4-D6 (1), Integrated Astromech (0)

Tala Squadron Pilot (18) - Z-95 Headhunter

Homing Missiles (5), Guidance Chips (0)

Tala Squadron Pilot (18) - Z-95 Headhunter

Homing Missiles (5), Guidance Chips (0)

Shara Bey (37) - ARC-170

Predator (3), Weapons Engineer (3), M8-G8 (3), Alliance Overhaul (0)

Not sure what to do with the last point.

Corran Horn with a 3 attack round?

Ooph. That might indeed be possible. He may not have PTL or whatever he uses, but he'll be able to shoot a guy three times in a single turn.

Twice in the next, then thrice again.

Deadly.

Actually, Corran's ability states that you cannot attack during the next round. I would take that to mean you would only be able to get 3 every other round. But you could get 2 every round, and the occasional 3 (having to miss the next turn's attack). I think I would just take the 2 a turn and only use the third to finish a ship. With FCS that would be lots of target locks lol.

I absolutely literally just said that.

I said, "Twice in the next, then thrice again."

That means I implied the triple tap was already done!

Ain't reading comprehension grand?

If he was fighting Valen Rudor and Turr Phenir, both with Daredevil (and being idiots) Snap Shot Corran could get 5 attacks in a round.

Attack 1: Someone lands at range 1 of Corran during the activation phase. Corran Snap Shots.

Attack 2: Corran's regular attack in the Combat phase.

Attack 3: After attacking, Turr decides to Daredevil into Corran's arc at range 1. Corran Snap Shots.

Attack 4: Corran uses his double-tap on Rudor in the End pahse.

Attack 5: After defending against Corran's double-tap (and not learning from watching Turr make the same mistake), Rudor decides to Daredevil into Corran's arc at range 1. Corran Snap Shots.

Actually, that's not what he said. After a triple tap, Corran wouldn't be able to shoot at all the following round. You could Snap Shot and do a regular attack every round but anytime you used Corran's end of round attack, the following round you're out of the fight.

No, you didn't...

You said Corran could shoot 3x, then 2x, then 3x. That is flat out against the rules as any turn Corran shoots 3x he's using his double tap ability and so can't shoot at all next turn. In reality it would be 3x, 0x, 3x.

Reading comprehension is indeed grand, perhaps you should try it out on the Corran Horn card before casting stones at others?

Edit: Actually this does work as all 3x snap shots are in separate phases, I commend you on your jank sir

I had something witty to retort to Captain Lackwit (lack-wit is oddly appropriate here lmao), but others have come to my defense and further comments seem unnecessary. Thanks Makaze and Stoneface .
