So in the course of an otherwise terrible performance at the FLGS weekly tournament tonight i stumbled on something interesting about operations Specialist... it works every time you miss.
So on one occasion i had (through a combination of RAC missing twice) Rexler Brath with 3 focus tokens (1 from action, other 2 from op spec). Naturally I didn't roll any foci on this attack, had no damage to flip with the ability and didn't need it for defense. But it got me thinking: are there other ways to use that crew card than with RAC gunner & hotshot?
Stridan seems like a natural fit or other Upsilon... add FCS to boost his own shots andhe becomes a pretty good cleanup hitter (cause he can take the focus himself) or can boost the defense of another ship...
What do you folks think?
FWIW, the list I ran tonight is below. I got some not great matches, and bad dice, but I'm pretty sure I did much (or at least notably) better 2 weeks ago with Maarek Stele and Vader instead of Rexler Brath and op spec
