Online I've been running 2 Gunrunners with Pattern Analyzer and Spacetug Tractor Array, with Intel agent on one of them, along with 5 Z-95s. My thoughts:

• Pattern Analyzer is a must. There will be times when you are too close to go forward and tractor your enemy. Here you can usually 2-sloop and still land the tractor.
• Pattern Analyzer also works after moving over debris, which can be huge.
• I think it may be a trap loading these guys up with much more than the Pattern Analyzer and Tractor Array. If you put bombs and/or illicits on them, it only makes them a bigger target. They can melt extremely fast. You are more likely to get a tractor beam off before they die, than a bomb.
• That said, I do really like Intel Agent so you know the best direction to tractor you enemy, or block them with a barrel roll.
• I think they work best in pairs. Gives you more options for board control, and you are less likely to lose both to an alpha strike.

Hope nobody is dumb enough to reveal their dial, drop a seismic, then 1rev right onto it lol

There will be times when that is the perfect move.

Actually youre right.

You predict theyre going to land somewhere where your bomb is, but they can boost/barrelroll out of range 1 of the bomb (happens to me ALL THE TIME and i usually win more in he lost a shot not i did damage)

Drop bomb, rev right onto it, he bumps you and cant dodge it. Boom. lol.

Especially against the nimble finkrats such as Fenn or Soontir, useful indeed.

Just need a scum Sabine crew to help scum bombers now

Tug life!

Imo, the go tp quad build will be

1. Tug tractor (the ONLY reason to take this piece of crap in the first place)

the shenanigans are hilarious but the ship is horrid ito stat and dial

2. Cloaking device

This thing is slower than the rancor would be in a zach synder film

Tug tractor is range 1

2 die primary is garbage anyway

All fingers point to cloak

3. Int agent

Know

Which way to tractor small ships

When to recloak

How to roll into blocks

Etcetcetc

Apart from that, optional pa or primed but you dont want too many points on a measly 5 hull; 2 agi

Relying on some green dice I see...

Honestly, for those same points you could try EMP. TB someone to go over a rock or debris and then Ion them.

you don't rely on green dice if your problem is being slow

cloak is for how slow it is + range 1 restriction on tug tractor

emp is just going to sit uselessly on your ship as it gets popped from range

so cloak basically for the turn two/three 2 boost essentially? I can see that I suppose. Still, the failing of it would worry me.

Actionless boost to tug tractor asap

If only I wouldn't have to buy nine new ships just to have everything. My wife would kill me if I bought that much at once.

Mine let's me feed my addiction as long as I moderate a bit. I bought a bunch around Christmas time and now I have to dial back to just a couple a month

It can be rough

Actionless boost to tug tractor asap

WELL apparently we can have both!

So that's actually really interesting. What if you swap cloaking device the turn you cloak? You are cloaked, do you still have to roll to see if you lose it?

ner, all the rules about forced discard are on the card and the card's gone

so you're stuck with a cloak token

which, according to the cloak token rules, you can discard to decloak movements etc. at your discretion

Cikatro Vizago.

Turn 1 Cloak - Discard Vizago so your cloak never runs the risk of de-cloaking and switch to another 2 point Illicit like Crane (If you have bombs) or EMP. Works really well on Unkar and Zuvio.

With ships like Unkar especially that spends all its time looking for that block, who cares about the attack phase

tell you what

it's a LOT better than lightweight frame

(but only because the Quad isn't going to hurt a goddamn thing with its primary)

also, no RNG

because I believe they trigger (crew + random discard) in the same phase? Idk, too lazy to look up right now
