Correct.

The differences are worth noting: Rey (Crew) puts focus tokens on itself (on the upgrade card), not on the ship. This is important in case something affects your ship's focus tokens. For example, Old Teroch wipes all tokens from the ship (so a Moldy Crow wouldn't be happy), but Rey (Crew) wouldn't be affected. (On the other hand, Boba Fett (Crew) could wipe out Rey and her focus reserves).

In return, Moldy Crow offers greater liquidity: you can use any number of tokens because they're on your ship, not locked away on an upgrade card. This means you could have Kyle Katarn pass one of his moldy focus tokens to a buddy, and still have tokens to spend on TLT shots and defense. It works great on Jan because she can stress herself helping an ally, fail to clear that stress next round, and still be fine for tokens if she's been saving.

I like to use Moldy Crow with Recon Specialist. Or you can slow-roll for a couple turns to build up a small nest egg. I've also given Jan Squad Leader so she can pass actions to friends once her tokens are saved up.

You don't necessarily need to fear Old Teroch, BTW; instead see that as an opportunity. Jan will be the perfect lure... Your opponent may make a very predictable move, going after your HWK to wipe its tokens, which your team can potentially anticipate and exploit (e.g. bump him and then unload some warheads into his flank).
