Does Synchronized Console Work With Purple Target Lock?

By moonknight777, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Does synchronized console work with ships like the ETA-2 Actis that has a purple target lock?

While Synchronized Console cannot be equipped as a modification to an Eta-2 since the mod requires a white lock action to equip, if other Republic ships have Sync'd Console, they can spend their lock to transfer the lock to an Eta-2 if they are at range one of that friendly ship.

I disagree... I think it can be equipped.

Notice the difference between action requirements on Sync Con vs Expert Handling and Daredevil.

There's two things. Currently, it doesn't work in the app. It's still glitchy as heck, so it's no great proof, but so it goes.

However, I think @JBFancourt makes a good case. SynCon doesn't specify a color for the action, so probably ought to work with anything--white, red, or purple.

FWIW (not much)....

The third party apps permit it too.

Curiously, Launch Bay does, but YASB does not.

I'm pretty sure that you just need to have the lock action on your action bar. If a specific color of action was needed, that would be listed in the requirements as it is with Engine Upgrade.
