Omega Leader with Juke and Comm Relay is a super popular ship right now. For 29 points, ships you have Target Locked can't modify results, and ships you fire on get one less evade token (since you change an evade to a focus, and they can't modify results).

Comm Relay lets OL come in to the fight with the Evade token already set, taking the TL the first time he's in range (ideally out of arc) and then getting a focus every turn.

At that point, you're only firing with 2 dice, but those dice are far more successful. 2 dice without focus will net a hit or a crit 72% of the time. With a focus, it's...more often. Math is hard. But you've got a *really* good chance of getting at least one hit, and often 2. Then the defender is relying on straight dice, because they can't modify, which includes using focus or evade tokens. So you're looking at 1-2 hits again green dice, which are 3/8 successes. Even with 2 dice, you're likely getting at least one damage through. And then OL is defending against the same ship at unmodified dice, with the evade in his pocket if needed.

It's fancy.
