I suck at staying focused, so I ended up getting the 2400, a T70, a Defender and Imperial Aces. That way I can fly a list that is 2 t70's and the 2400 for now, and make a list with some combination of Defender, aces, and FO's. Wanted to stay all Rebel, but those particular tie's are all just so drat cool I couldn't resist the sale. The addition of the Heroes set later this month will let me run a set of three 70's, and or dual Freighters and I think that is plenty to get my feet moving. The only reason meta even slightly comes into play is I don't really have any friends that will play with me casually with any sort of regularity, so playing in stores against what shows up is my only play avenue at the moment and I don't want to show up and feel like I should have just played against myself.

My mongoloid friend and his caveman hands bent a T65 wire-thin gun to poo poo last night. It was hanging by a thread of plastic so I've been trying to glue it all afternoon without much luck. Anyone have a life hack that'll fix it or should I just do what I figure and put it out if it's misery and tear it off? I'm going to just cut up a paper clip and fashion a make shift splint.

Matched against a rebel aces list in a pickup game today, had a ton of fun flying the contracted scout/Pablo Hidalgo/talonbane cobra list I posted earlier. Didn't get much use of the plasma torps, but the tlt on the moldy crow really helped to whittle down their shields.

ConfusedUs posted:How do you think it works? Don't you ever call me Ben Solo deals out the ISYTDS condition on a ship. Steele shoots the ship, fishing for a crit or getting one through Sheev. The crit triggers ISYTDS. Dealing the face up damage card triggers Steele's text. Steele chooses the worst of three crits to push at the defender rather than the Blinded Pilot you put on ISYTDS. Blinded pilot stays on ISYTDS and the condition remains in effect.

You don't want VI RAC, because then he fires and you get to add injury to insult.

So I think I figured out Wave IX/X.  Dutch (23) R5-K6 (2) Plasma Torpedoes (3) Extra Munitions (2) Guidance Chips (0) Esege Tuketu (28) Homing Missiles (5) Jyn Erso (2) Guidance Chips (0) Shara Bey (28) Plasma Torpedoes (3) Deadeye (1) Weapons Engineer (3) Alliance Overhaul (0) Guidance Chips (0) Total: 100 Esege uses Jyn to stack up focuses, Shara takes a focus for backup, Dutch takes a target lock and gives one to Shara who spreads the love. In combat, Dutch fires his torpedo first and attempts to use R5-K6 to get his lock back. If he fails, he spends Shara's TL on the target on the attack and tries again. If he gets it once, he reacquires the target lock and can pass out more (and redistribute target locks already in play). R5-K6's text is kind of weird, because since Dutch is the one spending the target locks even if they're technically Shara's, he's still able to use the droid and since he's acquiring a target lock again he basically lets Shara take two more. Esege provides focus. Esege fires next with a Homing missile that doesn't require spending the target lock and uses his focus if necessary. Shara fires last (with Deadeye if Esege still has multiple focuses left) and ends the turn with a minimum of one target lock still engaged. 12 dice fully modded every single time at PS 6 on a collection of ships that boast 26 total hitpoints. I shall call it the Communist Party.

alg posted:https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2016/9/6/the-garbage-will-do/ Burnout SLAM is dead on arrival at 1 point IMO. Finn is hella situational, but you can use him with original Han to add a blank result before you use Han's ability to get you an additional die on your primary. That's about the only use of it I can think of off the top of my head that justifies the five point cost. Situation-ally okay with Lone Wolf or Rey on defense I suppose, but defensive rerolls or mods are pretty hard to get, and I dunno if there's a rebel ship that can take both autothrusters and crew (I don't think so).

Adding dice is awesome, you guys are crazy. I couldn't care less that he adds green dice, adding a red with minimal requirements is amazing, and rerolling red dice is easy as hell. There's a basic action that lets you do it.

So if I'm reading Old Han's ability right, and assuming FFG's example is correct, you could literally place him in the opponent's setup area as long as he's 3 away from the closest ship? I feel sorry for those who play tournaments because it's going to be nothing but Fat Old Han for a long long time.

If he were once per turn, I'd agree with him being a couple points max, but with no limit I think he's got to be expensive or he potentially breaks. Especially since the same set is adding Rey, Rebel access to Glitterstim, and the fact that he can combo with Gunner (and FCS on the Ghost). I dunno, he just looks very good on paper, and nuFalcon should not have a tough time keeping things in arc thanks to PS 8-9 pilots and the large base arcs.

Finn crew feels like it should be 3 points, since he is only useful with reroll abilities like predator or lone wolf (which means your adding their cost in too), or with Target locks. Rey Crew is cool as hell though. Banking focuses will be a very useful ability.

Eh. It's not as big a deal as you think. It just forces you to think differently during deployment and constrains your options. If the other guy has Fat Old Han, you need to deploy your ships together - Otherwise Fat Old Han deploys right next to any loners and fucks them up. It'll also be great against Jumpmasters, because they rely on the joust to get their alpha in, and Fat Old Han effectively denies it to them. By the way, I'm totally fine with Han Solo and the Millenium Falcon being awesome or even meta-defining.

Finn is pretty good, guys. The Falcon is a really maneuverable ship with a great dial. Keeping people in arc won't be that hard, and all you need is some way to re-roll blanks. Predator, Lone Wolf, pilot abilities, or even just good old-fashioned target locks. He's best on Rey but he fits well on OG Han, too. The new title also helps keep the arcs relevant (just look at Dengar). This is some good poo poo. I also loving love Old Han's pilot ability. The mind games are real.

Han's pilot ability is a neat gimmick. Force the enemy to spread themselves out or get flanked, but at the risk of putting Han in harm's way before other friendlies can get there. It'll be neat to see what combos people come up with for the illicit slot. Cloaked rebel transports, glitterstim addicts... I'm realizing that there needs to be a new McCree emote in Overwatch now

But Glitterstim is an amazing upgrade. A Falcon with Finn, Lone Wolf (and/or Rey pilot), and 'Stim is going to be really hard to damage in a significant fashion in-arc in that one crucial turn.
