Operations Specialist

By Leobarron2000, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Does the Operations Specialist have no limit? For example, can operations specialist's ability of assigning one focus token to ship extend to more than one ship? If two small ships fail to hit can the operations specialist assign two focus tokens to two different ships?

My interpretation says yes since the card is not specific but I figured I'd ask.

Your interpretation is correct. Cheers!

Thanks!

It's a great card when you have lots of ships making lots of attacks, just remember:

  1. For multi-shot attacks, like Twin Laser Turret, both shots have to miss in order for the Ops Spec to trigger.
  2. Strategically, you need to put the focus tokens where they'll matter the most. Add them to a likely target of an attack, someone who hasn't fired yet, or onto somebody who can bank it for later (Rey, Advanced Optics, Moldy Crow, etc).
  3. Don't forget that the ship carrying Ops Spec is friendly to itself!

Hmm. Makes me want to put an Operations Specialist onto a Moldy Crow, now, so he can just bankroll all the extra focus tokens for himself...

A note: if a ship is equipped with Advanced Optics and already has a focus token you cannot use Ops Spec to give it another focus token.

Correct. Once per instance, but no limit on instances:

Major Rhymer 35pts
Snapshot (2)
LWF (2)
TIE Shuttle (0)
Tactician (2)
Ops Specialist (3)

Black Sqd Tie Fighter 16pts x4
Snapshot (2)

10 potential shots. Even if snapshot misses you dont really care, because "an attack missed" so someone gets a focus!

That is almost the list I am flying. :D

It is really fun to fly surprisingly.

I've heavily used Major stridan with ops spec and other upgrades with 3 snapshot omega squadron pilots. Works great, because it guarantees you are getting points out of snapshot.

I want to try this, but I'm not sure I have enough focus tokens.

oddly enough the max focus tokens i had out was 6, i always took evade action and once they start firing you start with the one with a focus and it either works or it "moves"
