Baron Fel's pilot ability shouldn't be in parenthesis. It made me think all pilots gave that ability.

PaybackJack posted:I was just thinking the other day about how I wished this was more of a theme and *poof* here it is. Very excited. However it looks like they're relying on the Pilot mechanic a bit too much. Hopefully there's a lot of stuff that works without being a pilot. It would have been nice if the keyword allowed you to attach things after they're in play, Hobbie can "get in" a ship after he's already in play by paying 1. Piloting should be gravy on an already good thing, or a way to flex a card into a different type of strategy, instead it looks like they're making you use 2 cards to really get *anything* at all. I'm not disappointed, just a little skeptical and hopeful that we'll see some really powerful stuff come out of this to make the Pilot mechanic worthwhile. I don't know, most of these units look pretty nice even even without the Pilots. I'd be pretty happy to play the 181st Interceptor and Delta One even if I didn't have a Pilot, and the Smuggling Freighter looks pretty standard, but with a nice bonus if piloted. Should be pretty cool! Also, I wonder if Stay on Target will allow you to play Wedge/Luke/Black Sq Pilot and get their text. It'd be pretty sweet to get those guys on anything, rather then just Fighters/Speeders.

Well hello there, announcement that significantly increases the chance that I'll pick up this game. I wanted a Star Wars game last month, and ended up choosing the X-Wing miniatures game over this (and found myself disappointed, sadly). I'll definitely see about at least trying the core set soon.

alg posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAMcQigO0rs I like it. The objective is good. The cards in set are solid. This would definitely go into a vehicle deck and be pretty helpful. I think it's a set that is going to be better in addition to other sets as opposed to being extremely strong on it's own.

Neat! I was just wondering when we were going to get more Capital Ships for the Independence, too. Looking at the Independence again, I think it will work on your partner's ships in 2v2. Maybe I'll finally use the Redemption alongside my friend's Rebel deck!

Is there a quick way to figure out exactly how many sleeves I'd need for my collection? I know the packaging has the little guide to "how many packs to buy to have enough sleeves", but that doesn't take partial remaining packs into account, and given that I have a complete collection thus far, I'd be willing to bet that I'd have enough partials left over to shave off a good handful from the "new packs needed" count.

Assuming you got 2 cores, and 2 of the first box. I wouldn't sleeve all the cards personally: Having them in Pro-binders looks neater, and is easier to flip through and find everything. It's especially handy because all the sets, regardless of the box or pack, follow the same numbering series.

I just don't have the patience to to sleeve and unsleeve decks as I build them, but would like to have my cards all protected when in play. My current storage method is a pair of binders (one light side, one dark side) with the objective sets spread out across each row, and its great for deck building...but again, I would have to sleeve a deck as I put it together then unsleeve it to put it back in the binder.

I'm going to be putting Scouring the Empire in my Scum deck with The Droid's Task, mostly for the extra Echoes of the Force, though Jerac should also be useful. Maybe my Scum deck will actually be able to win the Edge occasionally!

Payout is lame card art to choose for the Scum box. I like that playmat but I want Vader to be pointing his index finger at Boba Fett to emphasize "No Disintegrations". That Leia card art is great, but I can't say I ever see anyone using her so that's kind of suck.

New spoilers for the next Navy set are out. Intriguing set. Not too sure what to do with it at the moment, but will definately be good once we get into the next cycle. Navy Affiliation only also makes it difficult to work with. Might try it as a one of with the other DS Fighter sets we have at the moment, though.

Last card in the set is Heat of Battle. An excellent set! That Luke could be drat amazing, just the Luke and his lightsaber is a powerful 2 card combo. I love the objective as well, being able to drop enhancements mid-battle will make for some great surprise plays and make it much more worthwhile to run some 1-off objectives that have good enhancements for some toolbox shenanigans. Also I really like the Speeder Bike. It's criminal that his is a Jedi faction card because they practically never lose an edge battle as it is. Cuts through shielding, and is so cheap for 2 tactics icons.

New Luke is just a beast. With the right hand you could strike 4+ times with him each round. Also someone pointed out that while the speeder is nice with the whole discard for losing an edge battle those icons are really white.

frgildan posted:Also someone pointed out that while the speeder is nice with the whole discard for losing an edge battle those icons are really white. Most of the time they might functionally act like that but if as we start to see more cards that bring things directly into battle their being black becomes a big deal, and since the next expansion is all about vehicles and pilots I can all but guarantee you'll see something that puts a vehicle into play from your hand or discard and probably directly into battle.

So, almost no talk at GenCon about the LCG and the national champ decks were pretty standard: DS - Scum Affiliation 2x Vader 2x Palp 1x Saris 1x Council 2x Jawa 2x Wolverine LS - Smugglers 2x Gamor 2x Luke 2x Leia 2x Yoda 2x C-3PO I love this game. It's definitely one of FFG's best. But dang does it suck seeing all the announcements for other games and new games and not hearing anything at all about the LCG

I was going to post about this once I saw more of the games. I'm also glad to see them giving 2v2 some love with playmats and a trophy. I feel like that's something that could draw more people into the game who previously dismissed it over Netrunner or another LCG. As for the winning lists, I was thinking about that DS list because at first I thought you'd be screwed running with 4/6 split but giving how the deck looks I think you'd probably not worry about hitting those Sith resources as much if you did get locked out. Still I thought that was kind of ballsy, but apparently it didn't bite him in the rear end bad enough to cause him not to win the tournament. I'm going to replicate these decks this week and see how they play. I'd been reading about Jedi/Gamor for a little while, and I thought pure defensive Rebel Assault/Jedi might be better. I like that defensive LS decks are a thing now, I'm hoping that the next cycle of packs will give offensive Navy a real boost. Someone on the Flip the Force forums called that DS deck "Dark Wolverine", the winner corrected him that it's called "Slaver Sith". I like Dark Wolverine better.

Just built two decks I'm eager to try. At my league I'm the guy who "experiments" with new/unused cards. My dark side deck is using popular cards, hoping to get the Force and then punish them if they try to take it Objective: (10) 2x Scouring the Empire (Heroes and Legends 100-1) 2x The Findsman's Intuition (Lure of the Dark Side 106-1) 2x The Plan of the Prophetess (Knowledge and Defense 110-1) 2x The Slave Trade (Knowledge and Defense 111-1) 2x The Droid’s Task (It Binds All Things 121-1) Light side is kind of trying some kind of fate card shenanigans with ships and pilot Luke: Objective: (10) 2x A Journey to Dagobah (Core 4-1) 2x The Rebel Fleet (Core 11-1) 1x Hit and Run (Core 18-1) 2x A Hero's Resolve (Escape from Hoth 64-1) 1x Blue Squadron Support (Balance of the Force 92-1) 2x Commando Operations (Lure of the Dark Side 102-1) If they have any sort of success I'll let y'all know. I always overlook things when deck building, though.

Lichtenstein posted:So, is the Balance of the Force worth it? Do the challenge decks stand up to repeated plays? They're pretty darn hard to crack. We haven't been trying very often but maybe with some of the more recent cards they might have some problems. They should be pretty difficult, especially if you're 2v1ing them. I'd say yes.
