This feels a little too good the way I'm reading it, so I wanted to run it past the rules gurus to see what the verdict was....

So, Shara Bey:
"When another friendly ship at range 1-2 is attacking it may treat your blue target lock tokens as its own"

R5-K6:
"After spending your target lock, roll 1 defense die. On an evade result immediately acquire a target lock on the same ship. You cannot spend this target lock during this attack."

Weapons Engineer:
You can maintain target locks on two enemy ships, & when you acquire a target lock you can lock onto two different ships.

Those are the involved cards, the question is:
Will another friendly ship trigger R5-K6 when it spends Shara's target lock? And will it (assuming the roll succeeds) allow Shara to reacquire on the same ship.
I guess weapons engineer is superfluous to the question, because that is the one part of this that I know will work properly.

If those interactions work as I think they might... Well it's dice-dependent, but that's potentially an awful lot of target locks.

(I realise that I didn't specify this above, but it's probably implied: Both R5-K6 and weapons engineer would be equipped on Shara.)

If another ship with R5-K6 spends Shara's target lock, it may activate R5-K6, potentially getting a target lock for itself.

If R5-K6 is on Shara, then it will not activate when another ship spends her target lock, as it isn't her spending it.

If another ship with R5-K6 spends Shara's target lock, it may activate R5-K6, potentially getting a target lock for itself.

If R5-K6 is on Shara, then it will not activate when another ship spends her target lock, as it isn't her spending it.

Would have been nice though

Disappointing, but as I expected: Having shara chain target locks off other ships attacks is probably a little too good.

Would have been nice though

But you can use Dutch to grant Sharra a free TL action and with Weapons Eng she gets two which someone else can use (been using that to good effect with Norra in the mix as well)

The target lock acquisition that Dutch grants isn't an action, but yeah, that combo works.
