You've inspired me, ConfusedUs. HWK-290: · Jan Ors (25) Trick Shot (0) Ion Cannon Turret (5) · Nien Nunb (1) A-Wing: Green Squadron Pilot (19) Snap Shot (2) Chardaan Refit (-2) A-Wing Test Pilot (0) Opportunist (4) A-Wing: Green Squadron Pilot (19) Snap Shot (2) Chardaan Refit (-2) A-Wing Test Pilot (0) Opportunist (4) A-Wing: Green Squadron Pilot (19) Snap Shot (2) Chardaan Refit (-2) A-Wing Test Pilot (0) Opportunist (4) -- TOTAL ------- 100p. -- Two Snaps at 3 dice, one at 4 dice. Then Jan Ions someone for next turn, and the A-wings fire again, one of them getting an extra dice and maybe all three from Opportunist. Your best bet is your opponent being very confused on what to do.

Icon Of Sin posted:I completely missed that Mauler would throw an extra dice with Snapshot Every single ship in that list has an interesting interaction with Snap Shot. Both Scourge and Mauler can throw an extra die. Rhymer can do it out to Range 2 (and stress with tactician at r2) Turr can boost or barrel roll off the Snap Shot (and then do the other for his actual shot, if he's not yet done it this round)

Once if something lower PS than her gets into snap shot range during the activation phase. Then she'll move, clear her stress, and can trigger again during the combat phase.

How is Snap Shot utilized? It seems kind of anemic at just two dice at range 1, unless I'm missing something.

IronSaber posted:How is Snap Shot utilized? It seems kind of anemic at just two dice at range 1, unless I'm missing something. That's pretty much it. However, it happens in the activation phase before people have actions (usually), so if you do roll hits, you're pretty likely to get through. But for it to be effective, you pretty much need to build around it somehow. My absolute favorite Snap Shot carrier is Nien Numb (T-70 X-Wing) with R3-A2. You can trigger the stressbot on the snapshot, and then Nien doesn't take a stress because he discards stress if there's an enemy at range 1 in his arc (which is the same requirement as snap shot)

I managed to kill Snap but with all the stress being dumped on me, Snap doing K-turns, boost/TL/Focus every god damned turn with Nien doing basically the same, I couldn't get much else through. He flew super aggressive right into my face and then had all day to reposition while I either couldn't turn around or couldn't get him in arc. Super frustrating.

I have some questions about TLTs, possibly awfully pedantic. 1: Does TLT remove stealth device? It's an attack, but the attack doesn't actually do damage, it just deals a damage, you know? 2: If you're in front of something with TLT, say Miranda, so in their primary firing arc, but they attack with TLT, does autothrusters kick in? 3: If Miranda (I think it's Miranda) makes a TLT attack, and chooses to remove one attack die to regain a shield, but TLT has two dice rolls per 'attack,' does Miranda roll one less die on both TLT rolls, or just the first one?

TheCenturion posted:I have some questions about TLTs, possibly awfully pedantic. No worries! 1. Yes, since it's damage that resulted from an attack. 2. Autothrusters don't kick in so long as you're within Range 2 and the target is inside your firing arc, turret or no turret. 3. Miranda only removes the die from one of the attacks, so you would get one 2 die attack and one 3 die attack.

Got to play in a fun Team Furball match at my FLGS! It was 3 v 3, each person getting 33 points to spend on one ship, and each person gets two ships to play. One ship is the primary for the person, the second is if/when your ship blows up you can 'respawn' on the battlefield with it. I did not come prepared, as I only had a prinout of a few ships to use that were anywhere near 33 points. So I ended up flying The Inquisitor with Push the Limit, Twin Ion Engine mk. II, and TIE/v1 title. I was the only one to survive without losing a ship on my team.  I was attacked by Fenn Rau from behind though, slinging 4 dice. Rolled 2 hits and 2 crits. I had just target locked a T-70, giving me an evade token. Ended up rolling ALL EVADES. No damage taken. Everyone was floored, including me.We ended up losing when time was called. But I had a ton of fun, so I feel good about it.

Acebuckeye13 posted:1. Yes, since it's damage that resulted from an attack. To be more accurate, you lose stealth device when you're Hit by an attack. i.e. Your opponent had more hits and crits than you had evades at the compare results step. The TLT deals one damage when it Hits. This Hit also cancels stealth device. Taking damage has nothing to do with losing stealth device. You can lose your stealth device if you're hit by a tractor beam attack for example. And you don't lose it from some types of damage dealt during an attack such as Ruthlessness, Darth Vader, feedback array, painbot, etc.

hoiyes posted:To be more accurate, you lose stealth device when you're Hit by an attack. i.e. Your opponent had more hits and crits than you had evades at the compare results step. Yeah, you're right. TLT is labelled an attack, it throws red dice, you throw green dice. More red than green = SD lost. What happens after that is immaterial. ...or is the attack resolved, then TLT says 'cancel all die results,' which means there weren't more red than green, meaning SD isn't lost?

"Each time the attack hits deal one damage. Then cancel all dice." If cancelling the dice retroactively cancelled the hit then the TLT would do nothing.

Nothing feels better than Tractor Beaming something with Stealth Device and focus/evade and getting one hit through.

hoiyes posted:"Each time the attack hits deal one damage. Then cancel all dice." I guess that's what I'm getting at. Is it a 'hit,' or is it a non-hit damage effect that happens to use dice to determine if you happen to take a damage? Or, put another way, why include the 'cancel all dice' verbage?

It's an on hit damage effect, cancel all dice is there to prevent damage also being applied normally as per attack rules.

"Hit" specifically means a condition in which there exist more red hit/critical results than exist evade results. You need to cancel the results or else there could be more than one result going through.

I have more ideas for repaints than I have talent to execute them. I'd like a Spanish matador theme on an X Wing for Biggs, seeing as how he's the guy who draws aggro.

bunnyofdoom posted:So, local tournament in my scene is having these restrictions Does this mean to build a 100 point list and, if you use the specified points, you get extra points on top of the base 100? So if you did snap 7s you'd get to build the list at 103 points? If so, drop Scourge for Zeta Leader with Snap Shot. Scourge's ability is the most difficult to trigger of all the pilots in the list. ZL lets you take a stress to boost an attack by 1, if you're not stressed. So as long as you dialed in a green you could Snap Shot and start the round unstressed, take a stress to make it 3 dice, do the green to clear stress, then use his ability again that round to boost your primary attack.

Playing in a tourney in a couple hours and have decided to run 2 Scouts and Fenn with plasma torps and mindlink. Sitting at 99 and wondering if I should put 4Lom on one of the scouts to make it a nice round 100?

If I'm going for the alpha strike, I'm going all in.

For one point, 4-LOM is certainly worth it. You'll be kicking yourself when they roll 3 eyeballs on your torp strike if you don't.
