Thermal Detonators will be great on a K-Wing with Sabine crew that means they do +1 Damage :getin:

Aw sheeeet. With Sabine in your list, Ion bombs do damage now too. Also, Proton bombs can one shot Tie fighters and interceptors.

They already could? Major Explosion -> Direct Hit.

I tried out Blue Ace (with R7-T1 + Autothrusters) last night and I have to say, the 1-turn boosts look a lot more useful than they actually are. That said R7-T1 actually proved to be a lot more useful than I was expecting. I managed to doge a couple of arcs with it and get a few range one, target-locked shots I wouldn't have otherwise.

Proton Bomb ignores shields. Everything with three hull already has been a potential one hit kill since the new damage deck came out back in September. Technically, four hull isn't safe either (Major Explosion -> Major Explosion -> Direct Hit, but that's not even remotely likely).

Funnily enough, that happened to me at Store Champs.

I still won that game, but I don't think I've ever seen a Y-Wing die that hard.

You can't spend a target lock on defense. There's no limit to how often you can do this, either, so it's entirely possible to get a focus token passed off to you, and you keep it for the entire combat phase no matter how many ships shoot at you and no matter how many times. It's a free focus to use against all eight shots from a TLT list.

That's also how you keep a focus while shooting a blaster turret. Kavil can now eat a stress to fire a blaster turret with focus and take Predator as an EPT to get rerolls and mods on every shot.

Yeah, this is arguably better than R4 Agromech's focus -> target lock when you include predator.

Still, stress is difficult to shift on a Y-Wing without Unhinged.

With Manaroo, you don't give a poo poo. Do a 1 or 2 forward and clear it if you want, you don't care about bumping anymore. Or don't, and get the tokens anyway.

EDIT: whichever one gives tokens, I don't remember which.

I keep forgetting that Jumpmasters can take Astromechs.

I keep wishing for an "Outlaw Mechanic" or something similar that has a little picture of a Jawa like Outlaw Tech, but he's zapping an Astromech and it gives the ship it's on an Astro slot. It would make Scum HWKs even more hilarious.

No I mean put the astromech on Kavil and use the guy who gives away tokens to tell the stress to gently caress off you don't care.

That's exactly what I was thinking - gonna enjoy doing that! Although what does that Overclocked R4 come with, by the way? Since this is the first I've heard of it. Looks good though

Generic is spoiled to be 23. No go. I wish it was 22, it'd be aggressive and make it played more, but no. You pay 25 to get the PS5 with EPT.

Yeah, the more I think the more I realize that I'd never actually looked too closely at a astromech-less Y-Wing dial.

I was out birthday shopping for my kid and saw the new Black Series Titanium mini-helmets, and it was an act of will not to pick up the Kylo/X-Wing Pilot 2-pack for some kind of token for something...

When the Poe/Tie Pilot 2-pack drops I'll be powerless.

I saw some r2d2 and chopper ones in target and walmart recently. They were part of a two pack so youll have to buy a c3po or whoever the dude is who comes with chopper along with them though.

Or check amazon for the old 1996 guy who splits open and shoots a plastic missle.
