Going back to the T-65 fixes I thought of one a couple days ago Radar Warning Sensor (1) Modification Rebel X-Wing Only When defending, if you have a lock on the attacker, you may reroll your defense dice. If you choose to do so, you must reroll as many of your dice as possible. After reading that article a few pages back about how evade has fallen out of usefulness in favor of total health and how the game overall favors attack modifiers over defense, I tried coming up with a modification to regain its usefulness (specifically for the T-65, Scyk Interceptor, etc.). First I thought it would be Small Ship Only, but it breaks pilot abilities like Col. Vessery, then I thought of restricting it to Generic Ship Only but figured maybe not for reasons I forget. Anywho, I think it's a decent (albeit astromechish) ability that's subtle enough to benefit the T-65 alone. Just an idle thought you're all free to poke holes in.

Poopy Palpy posted:Especially after they renamed the TIE Interdictor to avoid confusion with a ship that isn't even in the game. To be fair, Rebels didn't even exist when FFG released the TIE Phantom...Rebels came out in October of that year while the wave with the TIE Phantom came out in June or something...so the only way they could have known is if Disney was keeping them in the loop which I kind of doubt.

Quick and dirty poe dameron's ricer special from yesterday: The paint is growing on me so I might actually put effort into making this thing look pretty, which means scrubbing the cherry blossom and starting with a proper background for it first. Really the sad part is that it's so small. I'll probably redo the 2400 in this scheme and paint/decal some nice anime idols on it. E: Oh the new FAQ is up.https://images-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com/filer_public/3a/d1/3ad18ffb-443d-45d1-837e-b542bc1ffe2f/x-wing_faq_v411.pdf Guess they doubled down on the article insisting you can damage ships by rolling them onto an asteroid.

I really hope that instead of going with durability/defense or offense bonuses for the X-Wing, they give it something to help in the dogfight. Repositioning is really strong, and quite frankly the X-Wing is supposed to be a dogfighter, which is something that it's currently beaten at by most other ships. Lacking both action economy and repositioning options really sucks. Hell, the B-Wing is better at dogfighting as it stands, because the dial and barrel roll make it able to dance in tight spaces. The only thing that lets the X-Wings compete right now are the admittedly very powerful pilot abilities. And even so, they're definitely not near the top of the power pile, despite Strobe's constant positive reinforcement  . I'd love to see some cheapish option to let the X-Wing do what it's supposed to do.Title: Rogue Squadron Ace - 2 points - T-65 X-Wing only - PS 5(6?) or higher only. When this ship performs the focus action, it can perform a free boost or barrel roll action. Then, it gains 1 stress. Action economy and a reposition ability that won't make it totally insane or a carbon copy of the T-70. Ace pilots pulling off a stressful maneuver while focused as hell is thematic, and the stress gain prevents it from being part of a crazy 3-action insanity build every turn. Possibly even could drop the PS requirement, but I like the feel as is. Wedge would be scary as hell like this, as scary as Soontir Fel is to see on the other side of the table. But the limited green maneuvers that the X-Wing has means you can't dance like an interceptor forever, without an R2 anyway. Edit: Even better, Wedge with Predator, title, and R2 with IA would be 35 points, same as the Standard Fel. Slab Squatthrust fucked around with this message at 18:23 on Mar 15, 2016 |

I want to say that previously it wasn't a choice, that if you tractored a ship you had to choose one or the other.

And tourney regs. New FAQ and Tourney Regulations: https://images-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com/%85/x-wing_faq_v411%85 https://images-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com/%85/x-wing_tourname%85 Summary: tourney regs basically the same, but you're now allowed to mark dice for ownership, modify ships as long as they're still distinguishable, and draw voluntarily by agreement with your opponent and with a TO present for any discussions. Among other minor changes. FAQ: Tractor Beam already errated lol. I don;t know that it actually makes it clearer, but it seems the intention is that obstacles do cause damage on TBing. Autothrusters also errated to clarify their interaction with several cards from wave 8 as well as with turrets - they now reference attack range rather than ship range, so it's clear how they work in some corner cases. Wampa errated to clarify when his effect happens (start of Compare Results). Clarification of new blinded pilot and feedback array, as well as a bunch of other new cards including Wave 8 stuff. Phew. Now to see whether any outstanding qs still remain outstanding... Crossposted from my club. I think they've got most of my outstanding questions covered. Also worth noting that I noticed thanks to an official forums thread today that if you equip the Ghost/Phantom title you MUST start docked; you don't get to choose at setup, the docking decision is a squad-building one. Hadn't noticed that they changed TBs to 'may'. If only they'd changed it to 'the player who assigned you the token may' rather than 'the opposing player'

I want to say that previously it wasn't a choice, that if you tractored a ship you had to choose one or the other. Yeah I guess it's a day 0 buff. It means you can choose to keep them in arc of another ship then roll them onto the rock. What I don't like is the new autothruster errata. It means that the old way of measuring range to a turret got worse. Oh well. It's the Poe Dameron era for me now anyway. E: Oh neat. They loosened the incorrect dial placement error. Now you can perform the maneuver as long as it's present, even if it's not the same difficulty. Oh and finally the cocked dice reroll is made official. It always annoyed me when people would have you balance a die on top to see if it's "level" enough. Chill la Chill fucked around with this message at 18:36 on Mar 15, 2016 |

Eh, I think the Autothrusters were mostly errated to clarify how they work with the inqusitor. I'm not wild about the wording choice they used, which doesn't unambiguously tie them to attack range the way they think it does, but the FAQ is clear about the interaction so meh. Still so disappointed that giving Tractor Tokens to your own ships is not currently an explorable design space unless the card does something weird and forces your opponent to give your ship a token so that you get to make the decision.

Interesting that the ranged stuff triggers from attacks after you move them with tractor beam. You can pop someone with tractor beam at the close edge of range 3, pull them to range 2, then Tactician triggers and gives the stress. Neat!

This is usually in the grey area of keeping it hush hush or saying dogwhistle codewords like "after reviewing our current standings it is beneficial for both of us to..." without specifically saying what you're intending to do. Magic has a more codified way of allowable phrases to be uttered but I think you should be fine if you are not being overly specific. "I think we should both draw" would probably be the easiest way to go about it as long as your opponent has any inkling of what's going on.

Also you can ask your opponent to show you the moves on their dial IIRC. But it does seem kinda lame that you can't bring manoeuvre references/cheat sheets.

I'm absolutely not going to disallow maneuver "cheat sheets" at store events I run. Maneuver dial options are already open table knowledge, so it's IMO absurd to eliminate an efficient way of effecting that. Anything other than that like say a probability table, sure.

They're just following the mentality that the closer to Episode 1 you get, the more sleek something is and the closer to the orig-trig something is, the more blocky/bulky it gets.
