"At the start of the End phase, you may choose 1 enemy ship inside your firing arc at Range 1-2. That ship does not remove its tractor beam tokens." is that primary arc only??

Nope. Any arc, primary, auxiliary or mobile.

So the first rule of X-wing is "Do what the card says. Don't do what the card doesn't say."

If they wanted it to be primary firing arc only, the card would say that. There are a ton of primary firing arc only cards. Like the new seismic torpedoes.

Use that mantra carefully. It can cause problems on occasion.

Sometimes it's more of a case of looking for the keywords. If a card mentions a "firing arc" but does NOT specify a particular firing arc (auxiliary, special, mobile) then it's ANY printed arc. If a card specifies a particular arc, then it's only that arc.

I think you meant "...does NOT specify...".

Correct. Indeed I did. :)
