Hey folks!

So I'm digging Benthic with double Perceptive Co-Pilots (assuming it still has 2 crew) for 2.0, because he can share a token and still have one for offense and one for defense.

However, I can't decide on a system (assuming, again, that it has such a slot).

Benthic w/FCS can have his attacks focused with 1 reroll while also having a focus for defense and providing a focus to a wingmate, but would occasionally have to give up the focuses to pull a red stop/rotate to keep from getting outmaneuvered.

Benthic with Adv. Sensors could get his 2 focus tokens and 1 to share even when he does have to pull a red stop/rotate to keep arc or bump, but he would never have the reroll from FCS.

Which seems like a better choice?

To me, if you're buying Benthic, you're doing so for his ability. Advanced Sensors lets you keep using that ability - even when bumping or flipping.

you're still getting a focused attack; shots don't have to be double-modified to be worth making.

In my few 1.0 games with him, adv sensors has been amazing for him.

Thanks for the advice, gentlemen! After a bit of flying (1.0, but close enough), I think those Adv. Sensors will be WELL worth it over FCS
