So Dash in the YT-2400 with "Outrider", can he pop off a "HotShot Blaster" (via smuggling compartment)?

Given "Outrider" text says "While you have a Cannon Upgrade card equipped, you cannot perform primary weapon attacks and you may perform Cannon secondary weapon attacks against ships outside your firing arc."

"Outrider" only forbids primary weapon attacks. Given HotShot is a secondary weapon, it should be able to fire... thoughts?

Outrider in no way prevents or affects the use of Hot Shot Blaster.

Likewise, an Outrider YT-2400 can still fire a missile. I don't really think any are particularly worth using on him, but still. Additionally, an Outrider can also use Snap Shot.

When 58-Yard-Dash* was "that guy's" list some players did run Proton Rockets on Dash to discourage enemy ships from moving into Range 1...the flaw is it's still only an in arc attack. "Hot Shot" Blaster is much better in the respect that, for one less attack die, it covers 360 degrees of doughnut hole.

So long as Dash doesn't attempt to perform a primary weapon attack you're good on shenanigans! (The reason why Gunner is wasted points on Dash, as it grants a second attack with your primary weapon.)

*58-Yard-Dash: Dash Rendar with Push the Limit, Heavy Laser Cannon, Kyle Katarn, Outrider Title, and Engine Upgrade for 58 squadron points.
