as other have posted, this is a reusable secondary weapon. it's primary advantage is that it does not require a lock to fire. this means you can spend your action to modify your 4 attack dice. using free actions can further improve your odds of getting 3-4 hits at range 2-3 consistently!

additionally, your opponent does NOT get extra defense dice. however, if you stay at range 3, you will benifit from extra defense dice.

lastly, with weapon is ideal for low maneuver craft such as the b-wing and lambda shuttles. it enables you move slowly, from a safe distance, and maximizing your fire arc. meanwhile you get range one fire power without having to dogfight and stress your craft.

HLC is a fantastic weapon! it's only drawback is that it can only be equipped on certain ships and is only available in two expansions (currently)
