So the idea is that this happens, right?

1) You attack with primary, hopefully miss
2) Your miss triggers IG-88B ability (through IG-88D) and Gunner
3) You resolve IG-88B cannon attack first
4) Then you resolve the Gunner primary attack

Yeah, as I read it that's 100% legit.

Yeah.

I've got a buddy who might looooove this combo. He's been trying to find the perfect ship to run with a beefy bossk. This might be it.

YV-666: · Moralo Eval (34)
"Mangler" Cannon (4)
Engine Upgrade (4)
· IG-88D (1)
· Bossk (2)
Gunner (5)

Aggressor: · IG-88B (36)

Or Tactician instead of Bossk, to double or triple stress, maybe with a Tractor Beam.

You really need Dengar crew so you get modification. Three unmodified attacks is a lot less scary than three modified ones. (also you can use Dengar to help make sure you miss)

I spent a lot of time tooling around with Gunner, Hot-Shot Copilot, and Dengar on the Bossk bus.

Attack with primary, dengar to help ensure miss, hotcop forces them to spend token anyway because you still technically have to roll dice (and thus can spend the focus) even if the attack misses entirely. Then Gunner to do it again, this time aiming to hit.

Worst case scenario (they have mutliple focuses) your buddy ship then gets a shot.

Daily broken homebrew I found

Mainly cause it has two astroslots....and only 1s and 2s on the dial. Slow, but guarenteed regen? Plus all those other slots. Plus if you are stressed, you can pass the regen onto someone else too at range two. All for 24 points.

R2-D2 + R2 Astromech? So him and 2 others can regen if they all do Greens or give someone else a green move with built in regen. That seems fine, and he's 2/2/3/5 jesus christ. Yeah he'll never get to take an action with his bucket of stress but who cares as even his K-Turn would be green.

Hmm, I think the pilot ability is the broken part. This ship can take stress to let others use its astromechs, meaning that EVERY ship that does a green gets R2D2 (up to twice per round).

Support ships have to be crazy strong to be worth their points, though. Kitted out this thing is gonna cost more than a palp shuttle. It would have to be at least that good to be worth its points.

Think about it even bigger. Every other pilot if they have an astroslot gets to use their astro too. This thing with r2-d2 and r2 is 30 points. Toss Biggs next to it? Give Biggs damage droid. Have Wedge with some other droid. Laugh.

Yeah, I know.

Double regen on Poe (R5-P9) and Miranda (pilot ability) if this thing has R2D2? Nora with BB8/PTL/Kyle and regen?

It goes on. It's that sharing that's dangerous. Is it broken? Or does this thing turn into a 35 point Biggs? I'd have to playtest the hell out of it.

And I don't wanna.

The downside is that a. I don't know if the homebrewer intended for it to be range 2 only or range 1-2, and it means the rest of your list needs to go super slow since it's only got 1s and 2s.

Huh. Cikatro Vizago (crew) lets you swap discard him to change your equipped (face-up) illicit for one of equal/lesser value.

I can see lots of interesting things, like starting with feedback array but switching to black market slicer tools.

Also a new "light" Syck title. Not sure how good it is.

When the cloak burns out, you have to discard it. Does it still count for Cikatro? The conditions are equipped, face-up. It doesn't flip face-down, but is it still "equipped"?

That Cikatro card is just a really good example of FFG having really badly written cards. If I use it on a tournament, does that mean I can bring all my illicit cards and make a side stack of cards I can go through, and will I need to list all of the illicits in that side stack on my squad list sheet?

Probably. As mentioned above, I don't think they leave play, they're just flipped face-down now. If not you could do some hilarious things like having Boba Fett jet from one ship to another.
