Hi Folks,

Reading the new FAQ I took interest in the following section.

"Focus, evade, and target lock tokens cannot be spent for their normal effect more than once during the "Modify Attack Dice" and "Modify Defense Dice" steps. For example, a ship cannot spend 2 evade tokens to add 2 evade results."

Forgive my naivety but I don't get to play very much and when I do so, only in a small group. I am starting to think I am missing something.

1 - Is it actually possible to get multiple evade tokens in game?

2 - Does this rule mean what I think it does? IE a ship attacks mine and, after the dice are compared, my opponent has a hit and a crit. I have two evades on my ship (somehow) but can use only one to cancel the hit and must take the evade, leaving me with an evade still on my ship.

3. If my assumption at 2 is correct then what is the point of being able to get 2 evades?

Many thanks for your help in advance

1: There are a few ways, but not many. In particular, you could do it with Cool Hand, or through shenanigans with Manaro, IG88D crew, Engine Upgrade, and IG88C.

2: Yep, you can only spend one evade per attack for its generic effect. If at some point some other way of spending them is introduced (none yet exists) you could spend one for its generic effect and one for the new effect, as you can for the generic focus effect and Calculation.

3: You can be attacked more than once in a round...

Many thanks for the crazy fast response!!

A common way to get 2 evades is a yt1300 with the falcon (evade) title, Jan ors crew, and push the limit. Take an evade, push for a focus, Jan the focus into an evade and bam, double evade every turn. Flavor with c3p0 or recon spec and it was very tanky if it could limit number of shots it had to defend against.

A single-upgrade way to get two evades is Lando (crew).

Use C3PO as well and you can get 3....Then PTL for an evade action for a 4th!

Not quite. C-3P0 does not assign an evade token to your ship. He adds an evade result to the current dice roll. This is good, as it means you can use C-3P0 AND an evade token on the same attack.

You could also make use of 2 evade tokens if the ship is running Juke. One token to keep in order to make Juke work on offense, one to spend on defense.

There's always an excuse for multiple evade or focus tokens.

Correct. So you guess you'll get 2 evades while rolling for Lando, if you roll 2 you add an extra evade result which gives you 3. Lando's ability gives you 1 evade token for each evade result. PTL an Evade action gives you 4!

If you declare "Two" when rolling for Lando...you live more dangerously than I.
