Holy gently caress, when did Plano boxes start looking like Transformers playsets? Some part of my brain just started twitching with an urge to collect the boxes themselves...

Just got a close look at the IG-2000's stats in FFG's recap video and holy poo poo that thing is 3/3(!)/4/4 with boost and evade. That is crazy!

Lungboy posted:In a similar vein, do people generally buy card protectors for their pilot cards? Do standard CCG protectors fit? All my cards are in appropriately sized Fantasy Flight sleeves and then placed in a binder full of 9-pocket pages. The upgrade cards fit two-each to a slot sideways (and I just double up identical cards so nothing unique is buried behind anything).

Is there really a need to sleeve cards in this game? It's not like you shuffle/handle them constantly. But I'm a savage... I don't even sleeve my Netrunner cards...

I've got some alternate art stuff sleeved but for the rest I could care less, I've got multiples of it all anyway.

I have the same issue with Devastation of Indines, a game of something like 600 rarely-used cards that require no shuffling. I don't know what the gently caress is wrong with me.

Given that there's no way to replace a card without buying a $15 (or $30 or $100) ship, the cost of a few packs of sleeves is really easy to swallow. I still need to just go buy several cases of sleeves and get my LCG collection taken care of though...

Accuracy Corrector looks awesome. Inertial Dampner looks really awesome. IG-2000 title is hilarious and ridiculous. IG-2000 comes with a set of duplicate cards, but the only duplicate slot on it is the cannon slot. What ship would want to mount multiple of the same cannon? I'm intrigued.

It's weird that this is a completely different card from the existing Fett, but I like it. e; also  that IG-2000 title owns so hard. I might buy four of them to pull off that gimmick.

I imagine that the IG-2000 pack comes with two of the same upgrade in the same way that Slave-I pack comes with two stealth devices. Looks like the type is Illicit. Xixor is an inverse semi-Biggs. Yay!

The M3-A 8 skill pilot is a reverse Howlrunner. "When another friendly ship within Range 1 is defending, it may reroll 1 defense die." I really like that, just how I love how cheap it is. It's barely a TIE Fighter, and if the dial isn't that great, it could be 11 points for the low PS version. If that's the case, you'd be able to put an HLC on the field with that plus the title for 20 points. I want it.

Ka'atos Leachos from the RPG is one of the Z-95 pilots  Gonna suck if the PS7 Y-wing pilot is non-lovely and Rebels are stuck with what we've got now.

I'm super glad they did it the way they did, because Scum immediately has a deep ship pool, and it makes it really easy to proxy some lists. It looks like you're getting a ton of pilots, too.

Which ships are important to "double up" (or more) for the upgrade cards? Hitting a store with a sale later today, and I've got one of everything (and 2x starters, 2x Slave I) but if I want to start playing tournaments I'm sure I'll need some duplicates.

Whatever comes with Push the Limit and Advanced Sensors, so E-Wings and A-Wings/Imperial Aces.

Well, you have the opportunity to either go Imperial with 2x Firesprays, or wait for Scum and Villainy to come out (or prepare for it) to use them, too. With that in mind, if you want to play Imperials, I'd get at least one TIE Fighter for their unique pilots, and then an A-Wing or two to fill out your missile options for the Firespray. If you want to play Scum and Villainy, grab a couple Z-95s and a couple Y-Wings (if you can find them) both for the upgrades and to make your Scum and Villainy lists really easy to build. EDIT: Also get a HWK for Recon Specialist, and then Scum and Villainy.

They haven't released prices for the special Scum & Villainy ships have they? Or should I just assume they'll be 20 apiece?

$20? I don't know where you're buying, but MSRP for ships around here is $15 in-store. I'm betting it's $15 for the Viper and Interceptor, $30 for the IG-2000, and then another $30 or so for the three-pack.

Where did you get those prices? And why would they make the three-ship Most Wanted pack the same price as a core set with a bunch less in it?

I'm really excited for the M3-A. It's a drat near perfect swarm ship for the cost (8 pilot skill for 20 points? Yes please) along with a high skill pilot that makes everyone harder to hit.

Considering that the Aces boxes are $30 and have two $15 ships in them, I don't see why a $40 set that has three $15 ships and eight new pilot cards for two other ships in them is a bad deal.

At 3/3/4/4 I'd be surprised if they were less than 35. 3 Agility is a lot for a big ship.

I do still think they'll all be higher than 33 though. I did some more squinting and figured out the following: PS7 Z95: When attacking, if there are no friendly ships at range 1-2(?), add 1 additional attack die. Bodyguard (EPT): At the start of the combat phase you may spend a focus token to choose a friendly ship at range 1 with higher pilot skill than you. Increase its ability value by 1 until the end of the round. smashthedean fucked around with this message at 03:18 on Aug 17, 2014 |
