Ok, so the point is more to force them to burn focus, not necessarily to make the attacker do more damage. I get it.

No.

They won't have it for the second and third shots, or they won't have it to shoot you with.

That's the benefit of Juke.

Best case you do more damage from the ship with Juke. Consolation prize is doing more damage with the next ship.

Third effect is if a ship with a single focus is attacking, they may elect to choose not to spend their focus on the attack and save it for defense if they know they're going to be shot at by a Juke carrier in the same turn.

Raged posted:

Yes to Han, partially to Luke.

Omega Leader stops dice modification. Dice modification is any of the following (with examples):
-Changing a die result to any other die result (such as focus, sensor jammer, juke, guidance chips)
-Adding a die result (such as an evade token adding an evade result, or C-3PO, or Finn crew adding a blank)
-Re-rolling a one or more dice (Han, target locks, Predator, Dengar crew)

The following are NOT dice modification, and thus are not stopped by Omega Leader:
-Adding or removing a die to the roll (such as range bonuses, Trick Shot, Fenn Rau's pilot ability, Miranda's pilot ability)
-Canceling one or more dice (Wampa, Crack Shot)
-Performing another attack (Gunner)

Some cards are thus only partially stopped by OL. Luke is one of them. You can perform the second attack with Luke (the second attack is not dice modification) if you miss, but you can't use the second half of the card changing a focus to a hit (which is dice modification) during that second attack.

Accuracy Corrector is the most hilarious example. OL lets them cancel their existing roll, but won't let them add the two hits. The former is not dice modification, but the latter is. If they also had Gunner, they could cancel to ENSURE the miss, then take the second attack!

It can be worth that kind of jank if you have a card like R3-A2 or Vader crew that triggers per attack.

Absolutely this. I bet all they had was a vague (and potentially inaccurate/based on early concepts) description and a name for the various characters.

40. Expertise, X7, TIE Mark 2, back him up with an adaptability Backdraft with title, FCS and Lightweight, and a Duchess with title, lightweight and another expertise because gently caress if I can figure out a compelling EPT for strikers that isn't the usual crack/vi stuff. All four games I've run it in has resulted in me tabling the other guy so far.

It absolutely rips apart hull tanks with no agility, which is good because the Ghost is my bane and for whatever reason I've had terrible luck with ARCs recently. Also a guy I fly against pretty often is fond of building super Mirandas that one-shot Defenders off the board and I'm looking forward to giving him some payback.

Strobe ran a tournament earlier this year but got very busy and it kinda petered out. I played a couple games two months ago and last I read, the modder was having trouble getting actual models for the newer stuff, especially things that haven't been in other games to rip the model from, like the Lancer.

The Tie Striker is in now but the u-wing isn't yet.The lancer isn't a full model but just a picture token which honestly would work fine enough for me.

If anyone picks TTS up here is a handy guide to get going https://www.reddit.com/r/XWingTMG/comments/58ir9d/so_you_want_to_be_a_tabletop_simulator_star/?st=ix2oam6z&sh=872b3d48

They chuck a lot of dice but they never hit as hard as you might think; they cant focus and they only get one target lock (2 with weapons engineer) while gunner/Luke only works on the primary weapon (which prevents further firing so save it for last). I havent tried them with the ordinance tubes mod.

Ramming smaller ships is fun tho :D

The Raider with ordinance tubes and weapons engineer can dish out the pain. It can fire with each equipped secondary weapon so you do like two homing missiles (or anything that doesn't make you spend the lock), two proton torpedoes, and weapons engineer. Lets you attack two targets twice each.

Soft modifications like that on proton torps really help. Concussion missiles are ok too. Gunnery teams and ordnance experts help also. Captain Jonus flying nearby is a godsend.

Ion stuff is hilarious too because you can set up rams.

I've not tried this sort of setup with the Tantive, but it would probably work similarly. Focus sharing rebel ships would be great companions in place of Jonus.

A tantive with weapons engineer and han solo loaded with missiles/torps and the arc that lets you use her TL so you can double lock the same ship plus roark to make you shoot 5 times at PS 12 is insane.
