hoiyes posted:Take big roids, Drea and as many trick shot generics as points allow. There are two questions: do you lose your action, and can you roll off the rock if not? The answers are no (losing your action is a result of using your template move to move through the rock you're ignoring) and yes (rolling and boosting are moving).

Points lists for Resistance and First Order are out. Supposedly the official app won't be updated until the 13th of December (what?), but I'd guess all the 3rd party ones will be updated in the next day or so. This probably means the rumors of December 13th being the official release date are true. Points lists towards the bottom under Support: https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/products/x-wing-second-edition/

This probably means the rumors of December 13th being the official release date are true. Pretty much every "problem" with 2nd edition releases other than the app points towards a lack of cross-functional cooperation between different teams within the company. Both this and the obviously unfinished cards that came in the Reaper/Saw expansions just reek of some department (likely Marketing or Finance) demanding something be pushed by a certain date, regardless of its current status or readiness. Leaving the other departments to scramble to catch up.

Oh man, all the resistance A-wings are chaeper than Jake and come with 2 EPT slots. Also Heroic costs 1 pt, so that's getting stapled to just about every X-wing not named Poe. Edit: Primed thrusters at 8pts makes me sad Kata-Haro fucked around with this message at 19:49 on Nov 29, 2018 |

My local game shop told us that the 13th was the release date as well, so I think its pretty confirmed at this point.

hoiyes posted:Poe Rey All the way. I haven't figured out how to build Rey yet, but building Poe to look like the traditional Imperial Ace is probably...really loving good. Predator. R4 Astromech. Cannon Config + Ion Cannon. Black One. S-Foils. That's only 79 points and can fly circles around anything that moves before he does. As for Rey, the Title, Finn, and Rose is probably a solid start. Completely actionless dice modifications, for days. Not sure about second crew. Chewie continues the actionless dice mods thing. 3PO lets you save Rey's force for her ability (you get two calculates). Han lets you evade (works well with Finn's ability too). Both both Han and 3PO require you not to be stressed sometimes. 3PO is probably useful more often. I'm not sure I like any of the force talents on her.

Without Comm Relay, Midnight was never going to set the meta on fire. PS6 is pretty good though. In general his offense ability is less good in 2.0 because there's few defensive mods and less often a focus on defense. Lot of great ships waiting in the wings for the upgrade card that will put them over the top. Nien Numb has the same amazing ability but no tools to really make use of it, so Ello Asty is straight up better (and real good). Ello, Poe and Jess will probably be the go to 3 T-70 build. (Or Snap Wexley for Jess).

Finally bought the new X-Wing second edition starter set and really didn't need two additional TIE Fighters. Painted them up as "Aces" to match the official TIE Interceptor schemes. TIE Fighters in front are my paint job, Interceptors in the back are official FFG paint schemes. Think they match pretty dang well!

That's for poo poo in most cases, average damage is below 0.5 unless you're shooting a 1 agility target. I'm so totally uninspired by the FO< and the Hyperspace format is utter garbage. But the mining TIE is OK i guess.

With Ion cannon banned for the first season, what would you run on Poe? I would love Rey/Poe as a list , but 2 ships lists are going to have a hard time against torp lists. I really wish Proton Torps were on the ban list. Ello Asty is looking so drat sexy Raged fucked around with this message at 13:55 on Nov 30, 2018 |

The Gate posted:What? You can modify your own dice just fine. Not in the first shot, but every time afterwards you just focus and slowly chip away. You get your TL in the first round, then you get your focus in the second round, which makes the average damage go up to 1.5 from your dice, which still only does... .85 damage versus 2 agi, and leaves you with a ~50:50 chance of no focus meaning you get killed by the rest of their list. She's not bad, but she's nowhere NEAR the 1e terror she was, thanks to the loss of Juke and Comm Relay. I6 in no way makes up for that.

On paper, Poe is crazy good. Hits like a truck, dodges like an imperial ace, has the health of an X-Wing. He’s got it all. I can’t think of another ship in the game with that versatility.

He is by far and away the best arc dodger in the game, especially if you give him R4, and he is one of only maybe half a dozen ships that can get full TL and focus in a turn. AND he has Proton Torpedoes. AND he can get SLAM. AND still shoot after SLAMming. But yeah, Extended means that Resistance are hosed because Scum have 19 ships and Resistance only have 4.

So, looking at my old friends Omega Leader and Omega Ace (Midnight and Static). Similar pilot abilities to 1e, but I'm looking at adding a Targeting Synchronizer to Midnight and Trick Shot to Static. My thought is that if I lock someone with Midnight (w/ a Targeting Synchronizer on board) and I keep Static close to Midnight (within range 1-2), can I ignore the requirement of a TL to trigger Static's pilot ability (spend a TL+focus to change all dice to crits). Targeting Synchronizer doesn't specify a weapon type (only says "when a friendly ship at range 1-2 performs an attack against a target you have locked, that ship ignores the TL requirement"), but this just feels dirty somehow. Is there something I'm missing to prevent that combo? Midnight w/ Targeting Synchronizer: 49 Static w/ Trick Shot: 36 85 total for the pair, leaving plenty of room for more shenanigans.
