I was building a triple T70 list and came across the idea to combo

Pattern Anayliser with a Targeting Astromech, possibly including Stay on Target EPT.

The logic is that you can Stay on Target to make the right maneuver and count it as red, choose a focus action (or whatever) before receiving stress and get the target lock thrown in.

Now obviously that is a much more expensive option than 3pts for Push the Limit, but is the added option from Stay on Target to change direction if needed yet still get focus/TL enough of a bonus to be worth it?

Opinions?

Here's the list I was going to try it with, using Nien Numb to help shed the stress

Resistance Fighters Prototype (100)

Nien Nunb (35) - T-70 X-Wing

Stay On Target (2), Targeting Astromech (2), Pattern Analyzer (2), Integrated Astromech (0)

"Snap" Wexley (34) - T-70 X-Wing

Veteran Instincts (1), BB-8 (2), Pattern Analyzer (2), Black One (1), Integrated Astromech (0)

"Red Ace" (31) - T-70 X-Wing

R2-D6 (1), Primed Thrusters (1), Integrated Astromech (0)

I'd drop red ace down to another T-70 maybe red vet to get ept.

I like the upgrade combo.

BB-8 works great with primed Thrusters, too.

And for Nien I'd recommend vectorec Thrusters.

I have also used advanced proton torpedoes with the above upgrade combo with great success vs lower PS ships.

It is pricey though.
