Opportunist Keyan has some difficulties getting Opportunist to hit reliably, thanks to how it requires an enemy to have no token in order for it to work. Without that, getting stress is limited to red maneuvers that you probably don't want to be doing anyway without some serious guarantees. Tractor Beam is probably a waste, since he's also your heavy hitter and tied for lowest pilot skill, and doesn't want to be giving up that attack. I'd replace Outmaneuver with Push the Limit, and drop the Tractor Beam altogether for an extra 2 points. Outmaneuver on Tycho is good, but Autothrusters is practically mandatory on A-wings. I would drop it, and use the 3 points from that plus the 2 points freed above to put Autothrusters on both Tycho and Jake, then leave a 1 point bid. Caveat: I fly X-wings, not B-wings or A-wings (often).

As is, the T-65 is on such a mediocre chasis that my worry is any new upgrade is a disappointment instead of being OP.

Thanks! I don't own Autothruster, might pick up its ship this saturday if I don't get an E and K wing first. Keyan however will probably change as you recommanded. I thought about using TB to set ships up for Outmanoeuvring Tycho, but that's apparently a mistake?

It is, but not because of the reason you think; it's because it literally can't happen on a single turn. Tycho is PS8, and fires before Keyan does. By the time the Tractor Beam hits, Tycho has already fired and can't take advantage of it. Tractor Beam is a lot like Juke, in that it's a lot better the higher your pilot skill goes.

Oh yeah I was seeing Farlander as being PS8, not 7. How about switching Opportunist for VI?

Still doesn't have a good way to generate stress. Push the Limit is pretty much the best thing you can put there (maybe Rage) without adding a crew slot and costing a handful more points than there are left to spend in that list. That stress generation is just too useful; it's basically getting a free focus with two more actions (usually TL and barrel roll).

Or Star Trek: Attack Wing, where they literally printed an upgrade that does nothing. This is a story I have to hear. What did Star Trek: Attack Wing put out that did literally nothing? I love disasters.

How dumb am I for wanting to put R5-P9 and Recon Specialist on an ARC? Or maybe R5-P9 and Kyle Katarn on Braylen? I'm still trying to get a handle on ARC outfitting and I want to see if I can make a good one.

R5-P9 and Kyle on Norra is a key component in a list that's currently winning tournaments, so I'd say you're on the right trac.k

Just got done playing that Biggs/Norra/Shara list against a double Lancer list. jfc that was the first time I've ever used Biggs and the force was with him. DTF saved him from a deadly crit and then he lasted four more turns on some hot greens and Norra and Shara face rolled them. It was actually kind of gruesome. When they previewed the ARC pilot abilities I thought they were all trash... but I am now a FIRM believer! Even with Asajj's stress shenanigans (this one had tactician, too) it didn't slow them down. muthafacking doom sisters! Strobe posted:R5-P9 and Kyle on Norra is a key component in a list that's currently winning tournaments, so I'd say you're on the right trac.k Yes! Regen Norra with Kyle is BONKERS! And when you're not regenning you're adding results to butt gun shots and turning them into crits... and THEN regenning

I want to fly an ARC with PtL/Kyle/BB-8, but R5-P9 is probably better.

Are there any upgrade/pilot cards that sell for as much as the expansion they come in?

Palpatine probably sells for a decent chunk of the cost of the Imperial Raider expansion.

At best selling out upgrade cards is probably gonna net you about half MSRP on a ship, it's not really worthwhile to do so unless you're doing it en masse like some eBay stores. Or if you take advantage of like, 40% off CSI sales and 12 dollar Target core sets or whatever.

I came into possession of a large rebel force and I need to figure out what to do with it. Hopefully someone will just trade me scum for it or buy the lot for a deep discount

This is an insomnia though post. But kanan with recon spec, Lando and EI. Potentially 6 focuses a turn reducing red dice. Pair with kyle in hwk with recon and moldy crow.

Can Norra use her own TL to reroll, and then use Shara's to add a focus? I guess I'm just asking if your can spend multiple TLs in 1 attack.

You can spend a token (including target lock) once per opportunity. Rerolling dice is an opportunity. So is triggering Norra's ability. It's similar to the way Vessery can spend a target lock to fire, and then immediately get one back to use on the roll if there's another red lock there. A better example is spending a focus on Calculation, then another to change the rest of the focus results to hits.

Yeah, x7 defenders are really strong, but I think this ARC list has a chance against them, but you have to be cagey. You can't let your ships get caught in the TIE/Defender death cage, which is easier said than done with these slowboat ARC dials.

If 2016 has taught me anything its that 20 years is unrealisric for a galaxy republic to descend into a brutal fascist regime. It's looking for like one year is enough to do the job.

One thing that I do like a lot about the Clone Wars and Rebels shows is that they have done a better job of showing the Republic's transition into the Empire than the Prequels did. One page of exposition in the old West End Games Imperial Sourcebook summed up how the heel turn happened better than 3 whole movies.

The writing in the prequels was god awful so that's not really a surprise there.

The prequels were, as far as I understood it, never supposed to show the change but instead to showcase the Republican era before the Empire. Why they decided to even show as much as they did I don't know, but as I understood it, it was supposed to be prequel = Republic, OT = Empire. I always understood that extra materials were supposed to show the transition more. I would actually like to see Claudia Gray (author of Lost Stars) do a book about the transition, since it would be the only one that might be worth reading.

One of the better points from the Plinkett reviews is that basically they set up the end of Episode III to be exactly the beginning of Episode IV. Obi Wan is already on Tattooine, Yoda's already on Dagobah, c3p0 and R2-D2 are already on the Tantive IV, Darth Vader and Tarkin are already building the Death Star, everything essentially has to stay static for 20 years.

Oh, right. The part about Yoda blasting off in a tiny interstellar rocket to go to Dagobah. The last 2 movies were so awful I only remember Padme's white uniform from AOTC. Episode 1 was great for the podracing though. Movie should've revolved around that, should've been space Ben Hur.
