So had this thought while messing around with the new stuff.

So since Disposable Capacitors is a discard at the beginning of your activation, and Ackbar is during the modify dice step, can you trigger Ackbar at long range on a blue die only side arc, (The Scout Hammerhead for example).

As long as you have an attack, you can use Ackbar. Similarly, you can use it ona ship with black or blue side arcs (MC30c Torpedo Frigate is another one that doesn't require Disposable Capacitors to trigger).

Well true, but you still need to be at medium range to trigger Ackbar for the Torpedo Frigate (unless enhanced armament of course). It was mostly creating shots that weren't there before. Pretty niche scenario and not all that effective. The only real benefit is you could get rerolls from the task force. But it'd still be a one time only thing for the Hammerhead.

Disposable capacitors are going to be one time anyway.

I think is a good idea in order to gain the shot you won't have otherwise. The you move into medium and keep shooting.

The main problem I see is what rebel ship could do a good use for this? HH won't like Ackbar too much I think. Mk-IIs don't really need DC and cannot benefit from them too much. And that is all. Maybe in future waves...

Oh yeah like I said its a pretty niche situation and not likely very useful, because that's about the only time that it applies. The only other thing I could think of was if you also wanted a Pelta in your Ackbar list, in which case it might open up some options.
