So none of the wave 8 ships have auto thruster? I guess they're milking it for wave 9-10, in which case auto thruster will also be in a seasonal kit.

I think Deadeye on the TAP might actually win the prize for most useless upgrade/ship combo.

Given that the TAP really doesn't want that much to use missiles at all, both Chimps and Deadeye are pretty lovely on it. It's a nice ship, but it really, really want Juke to be included in the pack, and the fact that Juke is only in the f/o and only one copy at that is really annoying. I do not want more f/os just to get copies of Juke. Nosir.

Oh, Juke being in the /FO is why it's been sold out at nova stores for a while. I still don't have one, even though I probably should. Is juke or crack shot better on point-filler A-wings? I'd take crack on a couple Z's but at that point I might as well get a better ship.

Juke gets you offensive and defensive mods in a single action - and it's reusable. But that's tempered by the fact that you lose it if you have to spend the evade, so it's not as good for swarms as it is for aces due to pilot skill and shooting last.

I actually have a Starviper and no copies of Autothrusters because I play Scum, my boyfriend plays Imperial, and he bought it just for the Autothrusters.

You could theoretically put a stressbot on a Y-wing for that, but you'd get exactly one shot with a lovely Y-wing primary.

Yeah I would try a lot harder to get those 4 points more for the stress Y.

Strobe posted:Tonight, flew Blues Brothers both with Blue Ace and as just four Novices with Astros and Integrated. I only have three T-70s and two Integrated Astros at that; what about replacing the fourth T-70 with a K-wing? Leaves two spare points for either initiative or some kind of upgrade on the K. Gives you two extra hit points except that nine of them are on a one evade die ship.

I don't have a K-wing and have no experience flying them so I can't speak to it in the slightest.

I got arc-dodged by a K-Wing last night, they really can SLAM circles around you.

General Battuta posted:I got arc-dodged by a K-Wing last night, they really can SLAM circles around you. They have a 2 dice primary turret which isn't amazing but can have its uses. If the opponent decides to try and hit the K-wing first, you can SLAM to try and dodge while the T-70s go to town. If they go for the wangs then I guess you do your best to get at range one with the K.

Spring Tournament Kit for X-Wing IG-88C, Ion Tokens, Veteran Instincts. Was talking to Panzeh yesterday and predicted the VI. Kinda glad the IG-88 is one that I don't use, means my two pilot cards will still be the same style. Edit: Fingers crossed for Howlrunner () alt-art at Regionals...

COuldn't give a gently caress about alt-art IG88, can't ever see using it, and I meh the acrylic tokens pretty thoroughly, but the rest is nice. Those coins in particular are lovely, someone from my club won one at the store champ this weekend and they are huge, probably an inch and a half in diameter and nearly half a centimetre thick, and made I think of solid steel. Weight a tonne. I want one.

Oh thank god. Now I don't have to buy Falcons to actually use VI. This is awesome.

Devlan Mud posted:Veteran Instincts art is a Mary Sue, Don't get me started on all the plot holes in this tabletop game. Plus it's just a rehash of the films and books, trying to coast in on our goodwill, instead of using new characters and stuff. Alternate Art IG's are a great way to get the hooks into Brobot players. Gotta catch 'em all!

He succeeded in being uploaded, and was preparing to activate his program to take over all droids in the galaxy when it was destroyed. With his consciousness in the Death Star II, he would literally become the Death Star.[1]

IG-88 was also able to trick Darth Vader into thinking robot factory world totally hadn't been taken over by four KILL ALL HUMANS Bending Units, and was happily producing probe droids to be shot at rebel bases. Also Dengar married a slave girl and Boba Fett was his best man. And Boba Fett and Han Solo had a collective "we're getting too old for this poo poo" moment. God that anthology was awful.

I remember an EU story where Jabba sent "Slave Leia" up to Fett's room and he didn't act on the offer chiefly, because sex outside of wedlock is bad. I swear this is a real thing that I'm not making up. What I'm saying here is that Disney did nothing wrong and you can still enjoy your stories about weirdo sex slavery, body horror monsters from beyond the stars, and succession struggles among three-eyed mutants as "Legends" tales.
