2.0 Shadowcaster and turret arc questions

By DanteStorm, in X-Wing

So, I'm probsbly not the first to think of this, but with the veteran Turret gunner a shadowcaster could potentially tractor two ships and attack the previously tractored ship. Of course this raised me a few questions:

1 - Is it confirmed that the shadowcaster has or not a gunner slot?

2 - When it comes to ships with a single movable arc such as the jumpmaster, when an effect specifies different arc, it can use the same arc, because it counts as two differents arcs, am I correct?

3 - For ships with both a primary and a rotating arc, how does this, different arc thing work? And how does it affect the shadowcaster and it's title?

Any answers would be helpful. Thank you in advance.

1. no confirmation on 2.0 shadow caster slots

2. You might need to explain - but as I am reading your question yes. For example, if Dengar has a lock on someone in his front arc who shoots at him, he can revenge shot with the torpedo even when his primary arc is pointed away. (And the devs did confirm with all the nerfs the jm5k has a torp again)

3. Primary arc is fixed like always, mobile arc moves like always. You **could** have them overlap but it would be highly situational to do so. Also, no guarantees the title is the same or similar. (I don’t remember what the 2.0 spoiled title says offhand )

1: no confirmation. Probably crew, gunner wouldn't 100% make sense as the turret is supposed to be controlled directly by the pilot but who knows.

2: yes, your mobile are is not the same arc as your primary arc, even if they're overlapped, which means you can double tap with your mobile arc and primary are with Veteran Turret Gunner, assuming it has the Gunner slot.

3: Stuff which specifies mobile arc works on the mobile arc, stuff which specifies primary works on the primary, stuff which just says 'arc' works in either. Beyond that we don't really know until the rules reference is published.

Clarification on this note just due to updated wording in 2.0. The Shadowcaster's forward arc and turret arc are both considered primary arcs. If it's printed on the pilot card, it's a primary arc. If this were not the case, it would cause issues with ships that only have turret arcs (like YT-1300, HWK-290, etc).
