Next-Gen Pilot
Title. E-Wing Only

Your upgrade bar gains one system symbol.

You can't equip two of the same system upgrade. You can't equip this card if your pilot skill value is "4" or higher.

-2 points

Edit: Along with some cool E-Wing only system upgrade, probably?

Hey, that's pretty cool. A free FCS, a Stealth Device, and a Sensor Jammer on each Knave gives you a 99 point list...but they're still all PS1, ugh. Still, I think this is the right direction for an E-Wing fix, the whole fun of the ship is loading it up with gizmos.

27+3+4 = 34, meaning you're at 102.

Would anyone be interested in subbing in as scum for my x-wing risk campaign? Someone had to drop, and I'd rather not just have the area empty.

The idea for this is to be a long-term campaign, but it should be fairly lax in commitment. just check in every couple days for the movement and build phases and do a few battles every month depending on how many people you attack/attack you. (There shouldn't be more than 5 battles in a month for each player max.)

If so, let me know and I'll have the dropping player send you their list.

I can certainly try! Would I be stuck with whatever ships they're using?

I'm not sure of how to set him up to get that guaranteed stress, or why FCS is good on him/B wings in general.

Push the Limit gives you a stress token. FCS is good because it gives you free target locks, which saves you actions. It also lets you spend a target lock on basically every attack, since you immediately reacquire it.

# ¿ Mar 6, 2016 02:06

Some Numbers: Sep 28, 2006; "LET'S GET DOWN TO WORK!!"

Yeah, using the B-Wing's 2 K-turn and then using the stress to power your attack is pretty strong.

For the YT2400 with outrider title and heavy laser cannon, you cannot fire at anything at range 1, thus creating a "donut hole" of ships you can't shoot at

Poopy Palpy posted:

Twin Laser Turrets and the Outrider with an HLC can hit anywhere in range 2 or 3, but not at range one. They threaten a donut, but if you get close, in the hole, you're safe from return fire.

Thanks! That makes a lot of sense.

I'm 1-1 tonight.

I first ran Han and Keyan against some brobots, spread out. I focused fired on one, and took it down and then I not thinking happened to do a 1 move while touching the other with han, and it worked out, because he had no manuvers that didn't not knock it off the edge.

The second one didn't go nearly as well. I tried to only use non-proxies. I flew:

Epsilon Leader
Weapons Leader
Stealth Device

Omega Leader
PTL
Stealth Device

Wampa
Shield Upgrade

Kir Kanos
Stealth Device
Royal Guard
Shield Upgrade

My opponent used a B (Keyan actually), A and Y. He flew his A away using an abillty that let it keep boosting for free, kept chasing it and was only getting hits from the others until I gave up and tried to focus fire on the Y. I flew poorly and Omega got killed before it could use it's ability once. I managed to take out the Y, and I had a chance, but my other two got picked off. I thnk the B wing was badly injured (I managed to do 1 face down through shields on it), but the A-wing was just 1 shield down.

One interesting thing that happened was an enemy ability caused me to take a crit through my epsilon's shield, which was a direct hit, which was just 1 short of killing it with a shield.

If you have Omega Leader, you have Juke and Comm Relay. That is a much superior OL loadout than PtL.

I don't have the FO expansion yet. I might have given the wrong name there.
Most likely my next purchase, but not before the tournament.

E: I meant Omega Ace. So OA PTLs and EL takes the stress. If I have OL I'd probably be running that instead.

Okay, yes, Omega Ace with PTL is quite good.

Not at all.

Only when you already have 4 of them and don't like running swarms.

(2 from the core set, 1 as a replacement for one that the peg broke off, and one expac one). I mcould maybe see running one more, but no more than that, the only reason I'd buy further would be for Juke.

Okay, that makes a lot of sense.

And really highlights what I don't like about FFG's packaging policy.

Geisladisk posted:

It really isn't. But most people already have two from buying the TFA starter, plus one to get Juke and Comm Relay. If you want more jukes you need to buy your fourth or even fifth TIE-FO, which noone wants.

I'm still considering potentially buying a fourth.

Configurable Manifold
At the beginning of the Planning phase, assign a Power token to your ship if you don't have one.
Action: Spend one Power token and choose one of the following: Perform a free boost action; this turn, when defending against an attacker in your firing arc, you may cancel one [hit] result; or when attacking at range 1-2, you may convert up to 2 blank results to [focus] results.

Otisburg posted:

Some Numbers version is a lot cleaner mechanically. It might be worth a few points in that iteration, since you lose some action economy but don't have to plan which benefit to take before you have board state information, making it a strictly better Engine Upgrade.

Hmm, I didn't think of that. That's slightly worrisome, meaning it should be a minimum of 4 points.

Strobe posted:

May I suggest changing the wording to "when you reveal a maneuver"? That way getting ion'd doesn't provide a token at the start of the phase.

I have no issue with that.

Some Numbers: Sep 28, 2006; "LET'S GET DOWN TO WORK!!"

Strobe posted:

Does "no issue with that" mean no issue changing the text, or no issue getting a power token even after getting ion'd which seems... counter to the idea of what ion cannons do.

No issue with changing the wording.

I feel like Gonk should have just been a boost to shield HP like Shield Upgrade. It wouldn't be usual for a crew card to give a one-off effect, but Gonk is a walking battery with only enough CPU power to go where you tell it so what do you want out of it.

You mean like the 4 point modification Shield Upgrade?

guts and bolts posted:

they're literally depicted as ships on 100% of the cards, until we get into alt arts, and some of those are robots???

Except that we know that Luke, Wedge, Han, Vader, Wes, Tycho, Soontir, etc are all male, regardless of their pilot card only showing a ship.

The pilot card showing "just a ship" is irrelevant to the fact that the majority of pilots are male and why do you care so much that people want more female pilots?
