I have played a few games with Redline and he seems absurdly strong to me. I have played him with Adv. Sensors and Proton Torpedoes for 61 Points.
Is it correct that he can do the following stuff or have I played him wrong?
a) Focus Action with Adv. Sensors > Lock > Bump into another ship
b) Reload Action with Adv. Sensors > Lock > Red K-Turn
You did it right.
He is really good.

This is wrong as the current wording of Adv Sensors does not allow for a second linked action.
EDIT: I stay corrected as Redline TL is not an action and therefore the sequence is valid.
Edited by PT106Oh man! I misread his ability. Dang that's good

Redlines ability says aquire a lock, which is not an action. Therefor he gets to circumvent AS's no action clause.
Edited by Admiral DeathrainYes that is correct.
Redline's ability is NOT AN ACTION, its specifically "Acquire a lock" which as per the rules "gaining a token or simply acquiring a lock is not the same as performing the action"
Redline is very good.
Redline is one of the few thing I would say are a little bit too good for its points.

He is. I ran a Redline, Vader, Delta Squadron Pilot last night and Redline shined.
Can Redline aquire and keep two Target Locks on the same target ?

Yes. His ability says he can maintain two locks, and there's no limit to where they can be.
It's a lot less valuable to do it in 2e though, given that he can spend the lock to reroll with all his ordnance - it's better to be able to shoot 2 targets than shoot one target twice IME.
really all his 2lock ability does is either A) provide a "failsafe target" incase his intended target evades him, or B) cluster missiles, you get a mod for both attacks.

Vessery's best friend too.
Being able to lock different ships seems pretty strong to me, opens up numerous options and doesn't telegraph your intentions.
