Can you fire your front arc primary and then use veteran turret gunner to fire a missile from your turret?
Tie/sf veteran turret gunner question.
The TIE/sf doesn't meet the prerequisites for Veteran Turret Gunner. It doesn't have rotate as an action (only linked).
Looking at the combo in YASB 2.0, it may not even be possible to equip veteran turret gunner to a TIE SF. It requires the "rotate" action, which the SF only gets through a linked action. (sniped by @kraedin )
I had the same idea. No, you can't. You only have an action if that action is stand alone. NO SF has a rotate, they only have actions that LINK to a rotate.
I got real real excited for that combo, too...
Also how does the heavy weapon mount ship ability interact with proton rockets? Does it override the bullseye requirement?
If all the turret turns are linked, the ship cant turn turret without stressing? Thats a bummer.

(1) No. the heavy weapon mount only affect missile weapons that use the front arc emblem, the Bullseye emblem doesn't qualify.
(2) Nope, the rotates linked to are all white so no stress from the action combo.

It does link into a white Rotate action, so you shouldn't have any stress from rotating, which is actually pretty cool. So far the /sf is only ship (I'm aware of) to have linked white actions. They do all link only into white rotate actions though, which means it has no other good linked actions to choose from. (ninja'd by @Hiemfire )

So with a proton rocket you fire forward regardless of turret facing?

Yes.

That's a good question. Yeah it looks like that's one of the only weapons where you can have your turret facing the back and still fire off the rockets. The missile restriction on the ship only specifies the forward arc symbol.

The only other white linked action is any ship with linked Evade and Debris Gambit.

Which right now is just an Attack Shuttle and TIE Aggressor unless I'm missing a Resistance or FO ship.
Big question about the SF is "when is the missile worth more than the 10 point gunner?", especially factoring in that SF can fart missiles but not a three dice primary (bd excepted)

When your local meta is dominated by arc dodging aces and having a few homing missiles firing out the back end could keep them honest.

That's more of a "when are both simultaneously worth it" given the cost of homing
