Inaldra with light scyk and draw their fire for 14 points.

Cheap way to give a little protection to the other ships in your squad.

Anyone tried this? I'm thinking about it.

I toyed with this a few times, and while it looks nice on paper, in practice it doesn't work terribly well.

You're essentially paying 14 points for the equivalent of 2-3 Hull Upgrades, and that's if the enemy rolls a Crit, otherwise you're just throwing 2 attack dice when those 14 points probably could have been better-spent.

I'm also toying with the idea of using the bodyguard ept on her.

I just ran Bodyguard/Light Scyk Inaldra a couple times over the last couple weeks, paired with Asajj. I really like her in concept, and she was great when I could keep her and Asajj moving in sync. Honestly my biggest problem was trying to keep them close enough together without bumping given that Inaldra moves first and Asajj is a large base. But yeah, when it worked I felt really happy with it.

ive seen inaldra as a cheap filler with mindlink to focus a Fenn Rau but this idea of using her as a cheap meat shield could also be on a Selflessness DTF A wing which could be a real issue in diverting damage
