oh crap, that means that the LAAT has 3 front and 2 sides, plus reinforce. RIP Star fortress, you've been replaced by something better and almost assuredly cheaper.

Starfortress is pretty pricey. But I honestly wouldn't be surprised for a Barrage Rocket LAAT to be as expensive.

This thing has a Scum YT-1300 statline, pretty much, plus a very potent ship ability if we've all squinted correctly, plus reinforce. I could easily see a 46-48 point base price for one of these, and with Barrage at 8 points, that might match the 56 of the MG-100.

Also worth noting: you can't Reinforce and Barrage Rocket at the same time. Small mercies, and such.

Plo crew in Y-wing(R2D2) could be interesting. Republic Y-wing with reinforce would be quite tanky. Toss on an ion cannon turret and you've got quite the little support ship.

I'm just going to note here that I wanted battle meditation to be good, and now I'm not so sure anymore. You could be right about costs, though.

Oh dang.

Battle Meditation on like 7B Obi, two LAAT with Barrage Rockets getting Focus/Reinforce each turn, and Obi gets rerolls anyhow.

Order 66 can't come soon enough.

Yes, this is basically what I was thinking, except not necessarily 7B. I might trade those 19 points for two 7th fleet gunners and bring Plo instead.

Thanks, I hate it.

I keep forgetting how potent 7FG can be with CLT or plain Aethersprites.

Yup.

If there's one thing I learned from my usage of 7FG and Jan Ors recently, is that flexible added dice are pretty good.

Odd question...

7FG: " While another friendly ship performs a primary attack, if the defender is in your firing arc..."

The LAAT "firing arcs" are naturally the turret arcs, but if Barrage Rockets are equipped, does that count whether the LAAT has a focus or not? LAAT is the first 7FG carrier that doesn't have a standard front arc, just the bowtie turret and can take missiles.

No, only turrets add arc.

With 7FG as you note is Primary only so they don’t work on the rockets anyway. You can still fire the rockets from the front if you have a focus token though.

A different ship is using the primary, not the LAAT with rockets in the front.

But it still doesn't work because missiles don't add the arc.

Super zoomed in guess for the HMP Droid Gunship ability:

" Networked Aim . You cannot spend you locks to modify attack dice. When you perform an attack, you may reroll a number of attack dice up to the number of friendly locks on the defender."

I think that the first HMP gain 1 calculate token when something happens and it is not stressed.

The second may transfer calculate token from friendly ship at range X before it engage.

The third when performing missile or something attack can remove something from defender to do something.

Next one probably after attack against defender in front arc gains TL on it and if he is in bullseye you gain calculate token.

But I'm not sure

This is what I read as well but it made me realize a question.

Can any ships in the game maintain multiple locks on the same defender?

Only Redline if I remember correctly.
