That Cikatro card is just a really good example of FFG having really badly written cards. If I use it on a tournament, does that mean I can bring all my illicit cards and make a side stack of cards I can go through, and will I need to list all of the illicits in that side stack on my squad list sheet?


Also, this is great. Maybe make a permanently cloaked Polab and have an invisible ghost stealing all your tokens :ghost:

You just bring a stack of illicits. Nowhere does it suggest you have to list them or anything. You just swap for any other.

So here's an observation-one of the pilot bases for the M3A in the preview is PS1. What do you think the odds are that, together with the Light Scyk title, we're going to see the first 11 point ship?

Zero. It'll have an illicit, just like the Z-95.

If they made epic ships slightly larger than the previous ones, you could at least start making them into a nesting doll. I might start burying them in my garden in the front yard as lawn ornaments.

Yes. Can't tell what it is, though. With 5 copies I bet it's cheap and intended for the Sycks.

That seems more of a Rebel thing. They've got lots of "gently caress your red dice" stuff now, while Scum has all the "gently caress your green dice" things.

See, I'm not so sure about that. After all, the base M3-A doesn't have an illicit, whereas scum Z-95s do. And while 9 ships of any configuration would be a daunting target, the title is explicitly designed to make them easier to shoot down or cripple.

I mean, I'm not saying it's likely that's what we're getting, but I certainly think it's possible.

You're limited to eight of one kind of ship in epic play; it'd be really weird for that not to remain true in tournament play.

Jabba crew, new cannons, and I'm going to guess that one of the 5-of-this-card ones might be a Kihraxz fix.

If 9 ships is made possible with 11 point PS1 light Sycks, I'm going to laugh my head off if people buy 5 or more copies of the C-ROC to do that.

The PS1 guy will probably be 11 points with the light title, but will be unique. Calling it now.

The text says four new scyk aces, and the last two pilot cards in the fan match the two old generic scyks. With Seven pilot cards (one for the C-ROC) this means the pilot skills of 7, 6, 3, and 1 are "aces". This is potentially the first pilot skill 1 unique, and we don't have to worry about 9 ship swarms.

I love the IDEA of the epic ships. Haven't played with one and everything I've read says not to unless you're doing a campaign.

Some of the guys at league are doing Aturi, wish I had known to get in on that. And that the was an Empire and Scum version.

You dont play an epic ship to win but goddamn are they fun to use, I've enjoyed running and playing 150 point 'must use an epic ship' game to get that style of game without dragging out the time too long.

Ya there's nothing wrong with Epic games. They're casual games of X-Wing plus a big gently caress off ship or two on one or both sides.

It's also awesome destroying ships by making contact with them. That never gets old.

I personally don't like epic games because how cumbersome the large ships are. Take a normal game with all the dumb amounts of marking ships and multiply it by 5 due to the increased number of ships and the ultra large huge base(s). Game-wise it's ok but just like playing EDH with magic cards, the game wasn't designed around that type of play and I'd rather play a different board game for that type of need. So a heavy 3-4 hour euro or wargame.

Epic with one Transport/Gozanti/Presumably C-ROC is alright as sort of a casual thing, but the game is balanced for 100 points, not 300. The Raider and Corvette just take too many points and dominate the game too much that it's less X-Wing and more "Sink the Bismarck!" but with spaceships and poo poo.
