Atani Mindlink- "Each time you are assigned a focus or stress token, each other friendly ship with Attanni Mindlink must also be assigned the same type of token if it does not already have one."
So do I only get one? Can I choose? I already have a stress, I just stay at one, or more focus, let me stack those a little higher please.
So turn 1, everyone moves forward one and does focus action, do each get 3 focus or is it better to turn 1, Palob slow crawls, focus action to store up in the Moldy Crow, everyone else gets a focus, but the Tansarii vet can barrel roll, Guri can boost box they already are at their focus allotment of one?
Or if one of them gets a focus action, what happens when the combat phase begins, and Guri is in range band one of an enemy, does he get two focus tokens then? Does the rest of the list get assigned a focus then as well? Same with Palob stripping focus at the start of the combat phase.

Here's the list so far

38 Guri - AM, sensor jammer, Virago, AT
31 Palob - AM, Moldy Crow, Blaster Turret, Cloaking device, Intel agent
30 Tansarii Veteran - AM, Scyk, HLC, hull upgrade
or
30 Gand Findsman - AM, FCS, outlaw tech

The Mindlink will only give a focus or stress token if you don't already have a token of that kind

It would be possible to end up with 2 Focus tokens on each ship at the end of the activation phase apart from Guri as;

If Guri Focus',as an action this gives a token to everyone
The rest of the ships could then Focus as their action
The Mindlink won't trigger as the other ships already have a Focus token

Guri and Palob, they can gain further Focus via their ability but it won't spread if the other Mindlinked ships already have a Focus token, action economy seems to suggest taking non-focus actions if you know Guri or Palob are going to trigger
