Looks like the bullseye arc is basically a straight column down the middle of the regular arc. What i am thinking is that if your target is in it, you get to add a result

If the previous two years are any indication, those will be dropped on Force Friday in Sept (The t-70, TIE F/O, TFA Core, U-wing and TIE striker were all revealed on FF after Gen Con)

Devlan Mud: Apr 10, 2006; I'll hear your stories when we come back, alright?

Yeah, Disney controls when the new movie tie-ins are promoted/released, so those will likely be shown later on and be the same kinda "wave add-ons" as the previous ones.

None of the announced ships have primary weapon turrets?

edit: a phantom 2 title with a different buff to the Ghost when docked would be cool as hell

Reload action has some interesting implications- looks like it has something to do with jam tokens.

# ? Aug 18, 2017 17:42

Raged: Jul 21, 2003; A revolution of beats

The gunboat has some type of weapon jamming card that hands out jammed tokens and requires people to reload

There's a real reluctance on anyone making the Gunboat look like the super-streamlined version from the vidyagame, and instead substitute a thing that looks like the Lambda with mumps and extra fins.

Here's hoping jamming/reloading was actually playtested lol

Uhh yeah if it's going to be a thing that effectively hands out Blinded Pilot all day err day it is going to be miserable to play against.

Phantom 2 has coordinate on the action bar, and an astromech and crew slot. That's neat. Also a new Ghost and Phantom II title. The statline looks unimpressive (2/2/4/1 with a rear arc), so I wonder if there are some good tricks with the titles.

Fenn's ability:

When an enemy ship inside your firing arc at Range 1-3 becomes the active ship during the Combat Phase, if you are not stressed you may receive 1 stress token. If you do, that ship cannot spend tokens to modify it�s dice when attacking this round.

Star Wars Galaxies, originally. It made some appearances in FFG's SWRPG more recently.

Hmm it seems I'm the only one that thought that the Assault Gunboat's resemblance to the Lambda Shuttle implies that it has a large base...

Bullseye arc is cool. Rewarding precision flying is good game design.

Any word on if the Gunboats wings pivot? This is a very important detail.

I like the look of Daddy Scyk. Hope it is good and fun.

ShineDog: May 21, 2007; It is inevitable!

Is it me or is the gunboat heavily based on FractalSponges fan render? Like, same lines on the little baby diagonal wings.

regardless, I really love it.
