Fortunately it works on neither.

Whisper Vader and Soontir seem to be the obvious targets, though gunboats will be solid too.

And hot dog, there's a PS1 x-wing. Which means that it probably costs less than the 21 point PS2 x-wing. Which means you may be able to run 5 x-wings :swoon:

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.


I don't know if that would work; the attack 'hit' even if it winds up then having all of it's damage cancelled, no?

It's too bad that the Death Troopers are so underwhelming. I guess you could stick them in a TIE Bomber Shuttle and fly that next to something more important but that's about the only scenario I can imagine them being useful in.

You'd spend the die result on the modify step, before compare results.

Galactic Empire only, he only works on that subfaction and not First Order. It looks like that's something they're doing more of, I think the Resistance Bomber has something that only works on Resistance ships, not Rebel Alliance.

It's not awful on RAC with Rebel Captive, but... it's not GOOD.

I had such hopes for it. I made up my own idea for what they could be and it wasn't that.

I've had the thought of this for ages:

1 crew, not limited.
1 point, +1 point per previously equipped Death Troopers (so 1 is 1, 2 is 3, and 3 is 6 points).
When attacking, you may roll one addition die. After the Attacker Modifies Attack Dice step, you must cancel one attack die.

Yeah, Crossfire Formation works with Resistance Ships. It's neat, adds some extra flavor to the factions. I'd like to see more new ships interact with the subfactions.

Still though, I like the idea of putting Hux on a cheap Reaper with a bunch of TIEs.

Me too, I like how it encourages all-Rebel or all-Resistance lists. The spergy part of me gets a little annoyed when, say, Rey's hanging out in a ship with someone who died before she was even born.

Anyway, now that a T-65/E-wing Rebel Veterans is in all likelihood never happening, any ideas for an E-wing buddy they could include in a two-pack to fix my favorite Corranmobile? An E-wing/K-wing "New Republic Aces" pack would be cool and thematic, but it's not like the K-wing needs any help right now.

EDIT: I guess they could throw one in a Hammerhead epic, but a Blue Squadron T-65 would make more sense and I'd rather not drop a hundred bucks anyway. :shrug:

Re: ailerons chat--

Adaptive Ailerons comes in the TIE Striker pack.

Advanced Ailerons appears to come in the TIE Reaper pack. Hence the difference in art and probably slightly different effect.

I'm pretty excited for Saw's Renegades, though! The U-Wing is a great ship design, but this expansion tells us FFG thought it was mechanically hot garbage, too, and pushed out a fix sooner rather than later.

Whats the state of the game like? Last I heard it was still turret/munitions dominate. I went on a tear last summer with old Dengar, but dropped out of the game after that errata. I've got a regionals bye card with it and the event to cash it in is coming up in about a month, but I have no idea what to do right now.

I know some form of Assajj and Mindlink seems to be relevant, or spamming harpoons with PS1's. Whats still big with Scum right now?

My other backup is Imperial, but is there anything besides triple ace or double ace Palp currently?

It's six hours later and I'm still :gizz:ing about new X-wings.

EDIT: some substantive posting now

I really need to see the cost on that title, mod, and PS1 pilot for the T-65. I don't dare hope that it's 18 points, because that'd be loving dumb, but goddamn am I hoping that it's 18 points. Even if it's 19 points, being able to equip the s-foils, a droid, and Integrated Astromech would be loving incredible.

The s-foils mod has text "at the" and "phase", so it's not action or event triggered. That's good. It also means that the PS-7 pilot with an EPT can trigger both effects in the same turn, which depending on the effects is going to be sick and nasty. Since what I'm assuming is the "closed" version reduces primary weapon value, that seems important.

The "open" version has what my terrible vision is suggesting is a [hard turn] icon. Pre-execution maneuver changing? Could be really good on something like Intensity/FAA high-PS pilots, where deliberately swinging wide and out of arc would let you trigger FAA and Intensity to token stack and attack from an interesting direction.

Apparently there's spoiled full text of sfoils?
Closed is: Reduce primary by 1. Gain boost action. White straight manoeuvres are green. May flip at end of combat phase.
Open is: Gain barrel roll action. If you are not stressed, if you reveal a 2 or 3 speed hard turn, you may perform a 3 tallon in that direction. (no stress!!) May flip at end of combat phase.

EDIT: seriously constructive posting again

The PS7 pilot with FAA is nuts. You can reveal a 2/3 speed hard, switch it at reveal to a 3 tallon, trigger FAA (depending on whether you need to or not) for a barrel roll, flip the card, perform the new boost action that you suddenly have, and then flip it back for a full dice primary. If you have Opportunist or something that generates stress, you can flip it back at the end of the combat phase, 4 forward green GTFO, and then do basically the same thing with an FAA barrel roll, flip card, boost for arc. Flip or don't flip as necessary for that one.

That PS7 pilot is Blue Ace levels of mobile, with better maneuver options.

Reading the text, it does look pretty close to the "spolied" version. I really doubt it's a white tallon roll though.
