as others have posted this is a reusable missile. considering you pay 4 points for a torp or a missile that has a high probability of missing, HLC is a bargain. not only is it a staple of several combos, it also has the HUGE advantage of not needing a lock to fire!

using this with PTL, or other free actions, means you roll 4 dice and can use lock plus focus to modify the dice to further improve your hits. (3-4 hits consistently)

additionally, your opponent does NOT get extra defense dice for range. Staying at range three with this weapon gives you a defensive advantage as well.

this is an excellent weapon for low maneuver craft, such as the b-wing. this enables you to move slow and stay at range and maximize your fire arc without having to dog fight.

HLC's only drawback is that it can only be equipped on certain craft, and it's a rare card that is only available with two expansions (currently)
