Can H&R raids be conducted on a Stinger? If yes, can the raid specifically target the Fusion beam or PH-G or must it target a general box? Also, can you send marines to capture the Stinger instead (which would be automatic since a stinger has no defensive marines)?

There's only room in the Stinger for the pilot. Maybe a boarding party of tribbles would fit.... Laughing

A Stinger in flight? The answer is almost definitely going to be no. First of there is not a box on the Ship Card to beam the Marines into. In SFB thier are only 2 ways to capture a enemy fighter and both involve Ledgendary Officer. As far as beaming Marines on to a fighter how are they going to hold onto the outside of a warp speed craft?

Now if the Stinger is still in a Shuttle Box you can destroy it by having the Marines destroy the Shuttle Box. If you want to capture as stinger it would have to be a special scenario rule. Or you would just send in Clint Eastrwood =p

Dal covered it correctly.

Marine units cannot do anything to a Stinger in flight.

Marine units can perform a hit and run raid on a shuttle box with a Stinger in it. If the shuttle box is disabled, the Stinger it contains is destroyed.

How about a suicide shuttle? The shuttle rules clearly state that they have room for 2 marine squads.

Not MJW but once again most probably no. All that space is taken up in Special Equipment and of course the Anti Matter Bomb its self.

Dal got it again. No, you cannot "raid" a suicide shuttle. You cannot even raid (or capture) a normal shuttle.
