Calculation and Unguided Rockets?

So given Unguided rockets restriction, I was thinking of what other EPTs that could effect Unguided rockets results such as calculation since you are spending only focus tokens . Crack shot came up. Yeah I know Juke could be one of them but there isn't too many ways for a double missile ship to get both focus and evade.

Calculation doesn't work because you're not "spending a focus token for its standard effect". You're spending it to change a single <EYE> into a <KABOOM>. That's not the standard effect.

Well, you can't use Calculation, since it isn't the "standard effect".

You can still do whatever you want to your opponent's dice (Juke, Crack Shot, Zuckuss, etc.) and you can roll additional dice (Opportunist, Jan Ors [pilot], etc.). A lot of theoretical options are Rebel or Scum only, however, so there's no way to actually run them right now.

Opportunist and Crack Shot are probably the most plausible current options.

Guess we will never see calculation in play.

I've run it on Bossk with Recon Spec at times.

Calculation on Bossk is just dirty.

Calculation on Wampa would be even dirtier.

The dirtiest, since he doesn't have an ept slot!

Yeah, another FFG snafoo, haha!

Why would you do that when Marksmanship is 1 point cheaper and doesn't take up a crew slot?

Maybe that was one of the things FFG was thinking Youngster would do?

I have run Calculation on Ten Numb when I was rather new to the game and did not have a Mangler yet.

It worked well back then.

Because this lets Bossk have focus tokens available for defense if he doesn't use them on the attack.
