Targeting Astromech and Braylen Stramm

By pitchfork06, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Hi, just wanted to check a couple of things please to make sure I'm reading it correctly.

Targeting Astromech - If I perform a red move is the target lock for free or is it an action?

If I equip the targeting astromech on ARC-170 pilot Braylen Stramm can I perform a red move, receive a target lock for free?, then use her ability to try and remove the stress and then perform a focus?.

Many thanks

Yes.

And because they trigger at the same time you can use either ability first, Targeting Astromech doesn't care if you're stressed, only that the maneuver you performed was red.

Acquiring a targetlock is essentially the same thing as assigning a token, the only difference being you still have to check range for the TL while the tokens are just given to you anyway.
Neither are an action, neither care about stress. I dont think ANYTHING except the action bar targetlock is actually considered an action iirc.

Great thanks for the information.
