Looks like unguided rockets are pretty much immune to Elusiveness and other stuff that makes the attacker reroll or change his attack dice. I wonder if that was intended...
Unguided rockets & modifying
Yep. Can't be modified by either side except by the attacker spending a focus token.
I can already smell the errata: "You can only modify your attack dice by spending a focus token for its standard effect. "

I really want something on those lines to replace the "cannot reroll the die with the changed result" on Sensor Jammer.
4 points is a lot for a card that is completely undone by Expertise and token stackers.
Yup, just like Accuracy Correctors.
But it's fairly thematic - the unguided rockets are based off carefully aiming with Eyeball Mk.1. After all, they can jam everything but your eyes (if only that were true LOL). Guidance chips, Sensor Jammers - even the Emperor cannot affect these things.
But, it's only 2 points so that's fine. Focus is the bread and butter modification of the game anyway.
Also, it passively enhances the ship's survivability. You tend to take a focus action more often, which may leave you with defensive focus if you don't have to use it on the rockets.
But if you're shooting last you have to decide between spending it on defense and holding onto it to have a 3 dice attack.
Sure, depends on whether you put em on Tomax Bren or if you run a swarm of 5 PS2 Scimitar Sqadron pilots.

Sensor jammer is just hotshot before hotshot. The card alone isn't strong but paired with other things works well.
Jammer is a focus eater. Largely it tends to eat focus tokens because if you dont it tends to really cut the damage down. Expertise is a niche card so i wouldnt really be worried about it, its expensive and can be stress cancelled. Im not sure why its the same price as Hotshot when it basically does the same thing, only it also works offensively and WILL take the focus while the jammer wont mandate it if he rolls blanks and wont use it anyway.
At least you won't have to worry about saving that one focus when RAC with gunner and hotcop comes rolling through hahaha
