I thought you were talking about Optimized Prototype spending a die to remove a shield. Which doesn't count as a hit unless the remaining dice get through their defenses.

Ah, gotcha. I was meaning just to get rid of the focus and using the condition is need be to force gently caress someone with no tokens.

edit: new page snipe about force loving......real fuckin' nice!

I only have canyoneyes for you



FFG rules writing means that Krennic can drop Optimized Prototype on any ship :v:

So, a Day 0 FAQ will need to address the T-65 X-Wing referenced in the S-Foils card, and correcting Krennic's condition to be on a SHIELD VALUE of 3 or less.

Bahahhaa this owns

Edit: This is the same timing that makes the FAQ about Han Yolo starting on an asteroid impossible to resolve. Ships just do not have shields yet at that point.

Wedge is going to get nuked pretty hard in that setup. Really needs selflessness and/or hotcop or you'll probably lose Wedge turn one.

Basically the way it's set up, Low is going to be the last one alive. There's no reason at all to shoot him.

You could shave the sensor jammer down to something cheap (CD?) and title from Silencer to stick an Academy Pilot in there... worth it for a blocker and maybe some extra damage?

A revolution of beats
Whisper with DK, VI, ACD and sensor jammer is 46 points. I really can think of anything to pair it up with. RAC is too expensive and you can’t fit two other aces for 54 points.


Edit: Just figured out 2 reapers could work.


Edit 2: of course confused had it figured out last page..... Would feel weird flying Whisper w/o palp. Not a top tier list but it might be fun.

Oh yeah, it's 2.0. New bases. Roating mobile arc on the falcon model. An app of some sort? New dials and tokens. I see bullseye arcs (or similar) on almost everything.

"2.0 is focused on making turrets...work"

Arrows in two (opposite) directions where the turrets can shoot. Addressing issues with barrel roll/boost/etc.

"Getting back to basics; positioning, blocking"

Push the Limit is gone. It's a core mechanic of some ships instead. Actions link to other actions in those cases. There are red actions now. Red actions gain stress.
