I can't believe the TIE Reaper, a ship that has less screentime than the Quadjumper, that was unnamed until it was added to a mobile game, is getting an expansion.

There are 2 cardboard u-wing bases in the spread, and 3 x-wing bases in the spread. There are 2 u-wing pilots, and 3 unique x-wing pilots plus 5 generics. Methinks there are supposed to be 4 u-wing pilots and only 3 copies of the x-wing generics (for a total of 6)

Also is that an X-Wing with working S-Foils? All the pictures show it open, but the pic of it in the box looks awfully flat.

Predictions: X-Wing stuff: probably gonna be pretty good, but probably better on generics than the aces. U-Wing stuff: After this pack, everyone will have two U-Wings they never use. TIE Reaper: Mostly used as Palp's new ride.

The madmen did it  X-wing fix is one thing, but cheap imperial crewed ship that MIGHT have okay chassis? Oh dear. Long time coming that. I hope the dial has at least some 180 turn in there. Really really would love to know the point cost of the PS1 Reaper. Palp's been looking for a new ride for a while now already.

It kinda looks like the Reaper has Adaptive Ailerons with different art. If they make it as maneuverable as the Strikers are then I'll definitely be flying a Reaper with Striker escorts for a while.

Improbable Lobster posted:It kinda looks like the Reaper has Adaptive Ailerons with different art.

Yeah definitely different text on the Reaper's version of AA, since it starts with this new text: "Tie Rea[per only]" "Treat your... manuevers...". After that it seems to match up with the Striker's AA text. The Reaper has a Jam action, which is different than the Jam Token that the Jamming Beam assigns. The Jam action, assuming it's the same one from Epic, assigns stress to an enemy ship, until it has 2 stress tokens. A Palp Stresshog with 2 green dice (LWF), a pre-manuever boost, and an Evade token sounds annoying.

theironjef posted:The Reaper's small base looks hilarious next to the U-Wing's large one. Yeah, I get why the U-wing has a large base despite not being all that big, but why the hell does the Reaper have a small base?  Looks pretty cool otherwise though, but I guess I'll keep holding my breath for an E-wing fix.

After that it seems to match up with the Striker's AA text. The text of the article mentions the jam action preventing token use, which stress does not do. The non-epic Jam action either applies a Jam Token at range X or has another similar effect.

Rebel Crew, after defending aquire a target lock on the attacker. Sounds good on Resistance Sympathisers. Scrambler looks like unusable garbage. Maybe multiple copies in a swarm, or the old palp shuttle (once something gets behind) it would be OK. Will Krennic bring back whisper and Soontir? Seems like a pretty brutal thing to put on a TLT Agressor. 5 points is steep tho. No love for scum. Shame.

Great. Just great. I'm going to own another loving U-Wing? At least it has a stunning black and white scheme.  LanceKing2200 posted:Also is that an X-Wing with working S-Foils? All the pictures show it open, but the pic of it in the box looks awfully flat. That would be rad as hell, because it sure looks like they close up when you look at the Wang in the Box. Why FFG wouldn't at least mention this in the announcement is anyone's guess. lazerus06 posted:Still no K2-S0. Throw it all in the trash. No no. They're saving K2 for " General Antoc Merrick's Blue Squadron" Expansion.

thespaceinvader posted:Why the everloving crap the Reaper is small based, I will never know. If the the Adaptive Alions or however its spelled title gives a boast like the original AA, I doubt they want a large based ship with native boost. Also, it would be cool if the Partisans could be used on the Scum side because, come on, they ain't exactly complete rebels either.

If that servomotor thing allows the U-wing to get evades and the pilots are decent, I will gladly fly two. It’s one of my favorite ships as a model but not much for the game play itself.

I’ve had OK results using the U-wing for blocking. The big base makes it easy, and it’s better than the HWK as a support ship. It just doesn’t really seem to excel at any one thing.

It says cancel a result for a shield. So it's auto damage

banned from Starbucks posted:What does krennic do? Plops a condition on a friendly Empire (not First Order ship) with three or fewer shields, that ship gets an additional shield, and once per round, when attacking, can spend an attack die to remove a shield token from the defender. Condition may or may not have more text after that, who knows.

It's really good on Vader & Soontir who often get blanks and no way to reroll. It's only primary weapon too. It'd also be fantastic on Gunner whisper, you could spend a hit to make sure the first attack misses and then proc firecontrol for second attack. It's a major shot in the arm for aces, costed about right (Shield Upgrade + Sabine).

It's really pretty strong, the cost being that you have to bring a ship with a free crew slot to use it, in addition to the 5 points. I'm expecting it to have more text though.
