I'm fine with nicknames if you say what the actual name is, or if it's obvious enough that even a new player would get it. I don't care if that defeats the purpose.

Guess the actual list and you win a prize. Think MWG, be specific.

I'm trying to find a good reason to use Scaro Plank in the Quad Jumper, some limited Wedge defence and maybe occasionally get 1 extra dice. Doesn't seem that great.

The Black Sq. Scout is 20 points because it's more flexible due to the EPT? I mean if it was 19 points then it was just going to be Crackshot Strikers everywhere? I'm still not convinced that the generic Strikers won't suffer from Interceptor syndrome, especially seeing it's got 2 greens and no shields

You're so close. U-Wing: · Heff Tobber (24) Fire Control System (2) Tactical Jammer (1) · Cassian Andor (2) · "Zeb" Orrelios (1) Pivot wing (0) X-Wing: · Wedge Antilles (29) Predator (3) · R2-D2 (4) Integrated Astromech (0) X-Wing: · Wes Janson (29) Veteran Instincts (1) · R3-A2 (2) Integrated Astromech (0) U-wing feels kinda fragile even with the title. Then again, it doesn't have to last long with Wes and Wedge going to town. Admiral Joeslop fucked around with this message at 15:33 on Dec 15, 2016 |

It will suffer from interceptor syndrome. It's clearly priced to avoid 5 with crack. And that bugs me, because 5 with crack wouldn't be in any way OP. It bugs me more perhaps because of the way the TIE FIghter is priced - 12/13/14 points for PS1/3/4w/EPT.

Bo peeps is a great nickname and an excellent byob poster. I don't know why space cow caught on since there are any number of slow creatures the lambda shuttle's movement dial mimicked. It had a 3-dice attack too so it wasn't some lame herbivore.

I'll correct myself and say it could've been named a more apt herbivore like maybe a rhino or ankylosaurus.

It's a different swarm, and a much more alpha-y swarm, but I don't feel like it would be unbalanced. They'd completely destroy anything of equal or lower PS, invalidating pretty much every other generic in the game (there are a few exceptions like Glaives). And higher PS stuff is expensive; the fewer guns the opponent has, the less likely they are to kill one before something gets wiped off the map. These things would be capable of killing almost any large-based ship in a single round. There's no way 15-20 red dice (with 5 crackshots) would be balanced.

Yeah, FFG was pretty bad at pointing ships when they began making this game and the T-65 still suffers from it. The T-65, Kihrakz, and Protectorate PS2 generics all pretty much sit at the uncomfortable 17-18 point value range. If the T-65 had a 0 point astromech it would probably be worth 20 with IA. Then again, even perennial efficient ships like the Bandit/Binayre/Blue Squadron Pilot have all fallen off.

I have a kind of an off topic question about gaming shop etiquette. When you play regularly at a shop(especially a non chain shop) do you buy all of your stuff from the shop even though they are 10-20% more expensive than an online shop?

I buy everything at my FLGS because I play there but they charge 10% under MSRP and have a rewards program. A bunch of people are about to say they buy a snack or a drink every so often and buy their minis on Miniature Market, as if that will keep the place they play afloat.
