It's not really far different from the TIE/SF title. You can add a die to your primary, or shoot twice. With only a 2-die primary, that's not super broken. There are a LOT of ships that just ignore 2-die attacks. I'd make it a unique title, though. Because it would really suck to run into five of those.

That's solidly balanced for a 2-die primary to be honest. 2 die primaries SUCK.

A free double tap every turn with Accuracy Corrector does seem a little strong for 18 points. Also, since the EPT one is 18, you can get Juke/AccCor/AT for 25, which seems very good.

This game is getting some traction at my club lately and we'll likely host a tournament soon. I haven't paid attention since wave 7. Can I still fly 3 Interceptors or is everything invalidated by the later waves. I have no ambitions to do well mind you.

Triple Ints don’t even fall into the “you’ll have a lot of fun losing” category these days against most remotely meta lists. But they’re a great way to learn positioning.

If you want the triple squint experience in a list that actually has a vague chance at doing well, run 5 strikers.

gently caress buying new stuff, I have a lot of ships lying around that I haven't used for years. I'm not adding any to that collection. So I guess I'll make a Decimator list instead, maybe add Vader?

I played 2 games yesterday. First, I took 2 kimogila fighters, an h6 bomber and a cheap kihraxz against the millennium falcon with 3 a-wings. Managed to win, mostly by blasting the a-wings first. The only bomb I managed to drop though, I crashed trying to fly away. So my bomber took the hits as well! Interesting to play with those beefy resilient ships, which I usually haven’t. Second game, I took 2 aces in protectorate fighters escorting a h6 bomber. Took plasma torpedos on the fighters as well as some upgrades. He took 2 big ships, he Ghost and another millennium falcon. All kitted out with gunner and some other upgrades. My list worked a treat at first, plasma torpedoes seem good against big shielded stuff, then those protectorate fighters can be really brutal up close. Fenn Rau with fearlessness upgrade put 7 damage on the Ghost in a single round’s shooting! However the millennium falcon hung on, and when we went head to head again, I whiffed the dice while he blew up both my fighters one after the other. The. It was just my bomber (which has an arc) trying to pin down his falcon (which has a turret) and as you might expect I lost. Even so, if the 1-2 more bangs I did get at him hadn’t whiffed as well, I might still have won. His falcon had 3 Hull left at the end of the game.

gently caress's sake TWENTY loving TWO POINTS. Siiiiigh. The crews are the standouts here, the ship is probably worthless except maybe as a palp bus that can actually contribute a bit, but for 3 points over a Lambda (taking LWF into account) it really needs to be doing a LOT. It's got an OK... ish... dial, with at least one white turn, but... I am disappoint.

After talking secondary market last week, I'm going to try selling a bunch of upgrade cards to fund more ships. Might as well try here before resorting to eBay. Here's the post: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3855678

alg posted:https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2018/4/30/sowing-fear/ PS10 coordinate will be cheapest on VI Tomax for 27 points, I think. That's a point more than VI Hotcop Fenn, for a fraction of the utility. Blech. Don't get me wrong, I love we can start coordinating with ships other than the upsilon, but I'm not seeing a really good carrier for it. Maybe Krennic/Tac Officer/something on RAC?

Finster Dexter posted:Is Krennic enough to bring Soontir back? I would be kinda excited about this game again. Possibly. Other 4HP aces are viable, like Inquisitor. However, someone on reddit noticed this: Krennic's card doesn't say "other". Whisper with VI, Krennic, and ACD chooses herself to be the Optimized Prototype. Now she has +1 shield, the same effect as FCS, the guaranteed shield stripping, AND an open Systems slot.

I'm still a little dubious about Soontir. PS10+ is still going to murder him. Whisper can at least get decloak and AS to really bug out of mines and stuff.

35 points for Vermeil with Hotshit Copilot and Krennic, 30 for the generic with Palp, so 35 left for an ace. Yeah, I like that. edit: I I wonder how the condition will work with Gunner. Does spending the die to remove a shield count as damaging or missing, and would it trigger gunner. enigmahfc fucked around with this message at 19:34 on Apr 30, 2018 |

ConfusedUs posted:gently caress Yo Tokens Would the timing work on ISB slicer to double-jam a ship if it already had a token to discard? So, Scarif Base Pilot with ISB Slicer jams Quickdraw, who has a blue target lock token from the prior round. Jam token reference reads: Jam Tokens When a ship has both a jam token and a focus, evade, or blue target lock token, remove the jam token. Then that ship chooses and removes one of its 1 focus, evade, or blue target lock tokens. A ship is JAMMED if it has a jam token. ISB Slicer reads:  Does the target of jamming discard their first jam token before the timing window of ISB Slicer opens up? If so, you could jam action to strip the target lock, and then add a second jam token to the same ship.

Assign the condition to the ship Krennic is on, higher PS enemy shoots you, they have to use their focus, so they no longer have it (and hopefully do not have an evade). So when Vermeil fires (his text says that if the opponent has no focus or evade when Vermeil is attacking, you can change a blank or focus to a hit), they do not have that focus, so his ability kicks in. Use the condition as needed. If they have more than 1 focus, yeah, that doesn't work.

I imagine it works like this: Jam Action > Give 1st Jam Token > Resolve 1st Jam Token > Give 2nd Jam Token If not, the second SBP could just Jam QD, with each giving one of QD's buddies a token. Same effect in the end.

Hitting only happens if your reds exceed their greens, and per the BSF rules, spending red results happens during attacker modifies attack dice. You claim the shield well before you determine hit/miss. It's a great combo with Gunner.
