First Order Questions

By Jimbawa, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Got around to checking out the new first order stuff and immediately spotted an issue with "Midnight" and possibly a quirk with the /sf's.

Midnight first. Her ability reads, "While you defend or preform an attack, if you have a lock on the enemy ship, that ship's dice cannot be modified." That sounds to me like Juke will no longer be her go to EPT. Can I get some confirmation one way or the other on that and should I go unstaple those cards?

The TIE/sf quirk that I spotted was how its innate ability "Heavy Weapon Turret" works with Proton Rockets. Heavy Weapon Turret reads, "You can rotate your turret indicator only to your front or rear firing arc. You must treat the front arc requirement of your equipped missile upgrades as a turret attack." Since proton rockets require a bulls eye arc and not just a forward arc; can you use these abilities together? Can you only fire them out the rear using a pseudo bulls eye arc, or would it allow you to just treat it as a range 1 turret attack?

(1) Juke no longer works for Midnight. It is a die mod.

(2) Prockets are a bullseye arc weapon and not a front arc weapon (as is indicated on their card) and remain so even when on the TIE/sf.

Figured as much about juke, and prockets makes sense as well. Can't wait to get back into the game again.
