Question about the Imp Gunboat. Say you are running the one that has the title that lets you fire missiles even after you slam. Say you move 2 then slam two more does that count as a 4 move for cruise missiles? The card reads "You may roll additional attack dice equal to the speed of the maneuver you executed this round" That seems like some bad FFG wording to me since slam is considered a maneuver. My opinion is that only the last move would count not both. As usual, I am probably wrong.

If the TLT hits on the first attack, does the attacker receive a stress, as Hel defends with 3 dice first then two.

Someone please try 4 Nu Gunboats with the missile title, unguided rockets and advanced slam, once you get a lock they're like a striker on steroids.

It doesn't say anything about combining moves.

This is the version I run, Omega Ace mini swarm--he reliably gets off 4 crit shots, plus the four dice on the upislon and fanatical devotion on one of the epsilons is a lot of damage. You use the remaining 3 points to season it to your taste, sometimes I put a stealth device on OA, or put two pattern analyzers on the Epsilons instead, since OA can get his focus and TL from the Upsilon but they need their evade actions for him to fire the swarm leader shot.

canyoneer posted:Man, I feel like Hux hasn't had his day yet. One of the guys I normally play says he fears my Hux list more than my Kylo list. That being said, I’ve had better luck with this one: Exp2 (100) •Lieutenant Dormitz (37) - Upsilon-class Shuttle Collision Detector (0), •Kylo Ren (3), Hyperwave Comm Scanner (1), •Kylo Ren's Shuttle (2) •"Quickdraw" (32) - TIE/SF Fighter Collision Detector (0), Hyperwave Comm Scanner (1), Special Ops Training (0), Lightweight Frame (2) •"Backdraft" (31) - TIE/SF Fighter Veteran Instincts (1), Collision Detector (0), Hyperwave Comm Scanner (1), Special Ops Training (0), Lightweight Frame (2) Everyone deploys at PS12, the SFs get a focus for deploying near the shuttle, then get another one when they do their focus action later on. Range 2 ahead of the shuttle + a speed 4 move forward almost guarantees a first-turn engagement with something and sometimes even a kill

My best piece of advice for the Upsilon is to keep the upgrades to a minimum. You can balloon the thing out to over 50 points if you want to (Kylo pilot + Hux crew can be hilarious, true), but in my experience so far it has served better as a support platform than anything else. Backdraft at PS9 is decent enough to start with, but when you start throwing out PS0 crits with Kylo he starts to get downright ugly.

Weapons engineer turns it into a target lock machine which would be hilarious but probably too many eggs in one basket. If you're looking for other ideas, KRS is basically free stress to help set up shots.

So my FLGS is having a black Friday sale tomorrow, all X-wing is BO GO 50% off. Assuming I have none of these sets, and they are all MSRP, what's my best bet? Ghost Guns For Hire Most Wanted Upsilon Shadowcaster U-Wing Decimator Jumpmaster I'm thinking Ghost and Upsilon, or Ghost and Decimator, but I also want to get Most wanted and start my scum collection.

Since this is going to come up...I can use Crack Shot on the added Evade result given by a Reinforce action, right? Since it happens at the “compare results” step of an attack?

Crack swarms are a good 3 wookie counter, they have a decent shot at ps killing one, and then scattering and coming at the two remaining from multiple angles. 4 wookies is tougher because once crackshot is used up its easy to fall behind damage race with the extra gun. Also every other meta list is murder to them.

One of my most often-flown lists is 4x Omega Squadron pilots with Crack Shot and Omega Leader (normal set up). Aka the "gently caress your evade results and dice bullshit" list. There's a small-ish tournament coming up for pre-TLJ X-Wing fun, and I'm thinking about running that, the Upsilon/TIE S/F list I posted previously, or a list involving Inq, Mauler, Omega Leader, and Pure Sabaac (the Crazy 8's!  ) I'm not sure which one just yet, but they've all done me well in the past.

Fresh and juicy spoilers if you can read/translate French: Translations courtesy of Reddit: Asteroid Gambit. Action: Assign one evade token to your ship for each obstacle at range one of your ship, to a maximum of two evade tokens. Threat Tracker. When an enemy in your firing arc at range 1-2 activates during the combat phase, you may spend your target lock token you have on that ship to perform a boost action or a barrel roll action from your action bar. Blackout. When you attack, if the attack is obstructed, the defender rolls 2 less defense dice (to a minimum of zero). LanceKing2200 fucked around with this message at 21:03 on Nov 28, 2017 |

Wrt threat tracker, maybe on a lower PS ship to go for the block? Or on a ship that has natural dice mods? (Still real bad tho)

Secret Machine posted:Those cards all seem... kinda underwhelming? I’m definitely going to get the Silencer but so far nothing leaked has really blown me away. I think it's intended to either get you into range 1/out of range 3, or to get you out of their arc so you can still shoot them while not getting shot yourself. Also if you're a higher PS and already shot them, you can trade a TL you didn't use to avoid being shot at if you can BR out of arc. Still a niche use, but kinda cool.

Secret Machine posted:With threat tracker, if I already have an enemy in my arc, why would I trade modifying my attack dice to reposition? Low PS aces will love it, to arc dodge at PS infinity. That card alone would make Carnor Jax, Old Teroch, and others viable (if they could take it, which they can't, but you get the idea). And it might remove the need to staple PTL to arc dodgers, too. Maybe we can use other EPTs now? The problem is that it's super expensive. I really think that it should be 1 or 2 points given you have to have a lock and spend that lock, and that the reposition action has to be in your action bar.
