i have hotshot cop....

i roll an attack...

defender has a focus token and rolls blank ,blank ,evade.

they still have to use the token? essentially it is discarded?

what if its a 0 agility ship?

they roll "0" dice...and still have to spend a focus token on the nothing?

am i doing this right?

Yes, you can spend focus tokens even with no focus results.

Yes, even if you "roll 0 dice" you can still modify your roll.

Basically if they have a focus they use it even if they have no results to modify with it (so essentially like discarding it). It's pretty powerful in the right build.

Note that if you had gunner and rolled 3 hits, and the defender rolled FEE, he's required to spend the F and trigger gunner.

As said above, yes and yes.

Precedent for this can be found for instance in Keyan Farlander, where you may remove a stress token even if there is no focus result to be modified.

Did you attack or defend? Yes. Do you have a focus token? Yes.

Congratulations, it's spent now (modify dice as applicable).

I love you guys so much.

also, this card seems amazing.

It is, but only in the right context, which is usually high pilot skill and good targetting capacity, ideally combined with Gunner.

Chiraneau with Veteran Instincts, Hot shot co-pilot, Gunner and vader (plus whatever else you fancy like Engine upgrade) murders the more fragile aces, and even on the less fragile ones it can tear through them, as long as you use Vader sparingly.

If you can practice arc dodging with Chirenaeu its a very effective build.

It really, really is. Put it in with a Lone Wolf defender of your choice, it's nice.

I am guessing you meant something else here since defenders don't have crew slots to put the Hot shot co-pilot in.

Got you now, put the Deci with all that stuff in with a defender. I was reading the "it" as the co-pilot not the deci.

Its worth noting it has to be spent, not specifically on dice mods. If they have something else to spend a focus on after being the defender (or attacker) then they still shut the card up.

i.e. Kanan pilot is spending a focus, so he shuts the card up.

Calculation would shut it up too.

The card still forces you to make that choice though. No saving it for their own shot or defense rolls. Calculation doesn't shut it up, instead it just upgrades what a focus token does.

Dictating what a player does is great.

As would Sensor Cluster, even if you don't have any blanks. So for Gunner shenanigans, you can actulaly get a lot of control over whether you get hit or not even when you have to spend the token.
