So my buddy got the Arc-170 from Gencon so I got to try it out today. This was my list. Thane: Expose, R2-D6, Title Biggs: IA, R2-F2 Lothal Rebel: Zeb, Auto Blaster, Tactical Jammer, FCS I really like the Thane Build. He was getting work done. I would Target lock or Focus for his action. The after someone shot I would Expose for his free action. Biggs was there to take hits before he took any so expose wasn't an issue. The lothal was there to shoot things and cover Biggs even more. What do you think?

Decimator doesn't have a system upgrade.

I am sure it would be a mod. Sounds like a mod.

Sweet Summer Child... you've never met fully tokened high agility ships have you?They're everywhere. And they laugh at 4 single-modified dice. They cry at 4 gunner'd and double modified dice though(as you can spend your focus for rhat 2nd attack knowing you'll probably get it back again). I have, but I don't like to pay 5 points for gunner that I may never use. I have seen so many people add gunner to a ship but never end up using it.

Why does everyone want a new edition? New edition cost us money. As far as titles go. I believe it's an easy way to add rules to a ship that should have the abiltiies without having to put it on the ship card. saves space and easier to do.

Gunner is actually a defensive upgrade for Whisper. You really need that defensive focus, and Gunner pretty much guarantees it. Relying on just TL will fail you at the worst time. Again with 4-5 attack dice you are going to hit an agility 2-3 ship most of the time with that target lock he also has Palp so that adds the attack damage output. I just feel 5 points is just way to much to pay for an ability that may or may not be used.

Lightened Frame?

I personally like Rebel Captive on Whisper. Makes them pay to shoot at Whisper. Gunner and FCS with a 4 attack ship is a bit counter productive in my experience. 4-5 attack with TL's is going to hit most ships with at least one damage. So no trigger for gunner. That's 5 points wasted IMHO. Ymmv. I like Kenkirk to have PTL and Engine upgrade on him. The repositioning off of Isards Evade is so useful.

I just use Plano trays. Fishing tackles trays with fishing tackle bags. Cheap and easy and does the job just fine. Only had one issue. I closed the lid on a Bwing and broke one gun. Other than that no damage at all. Each section holds the ship with tiles and dial. No muss no fuss.

40 almost 41 in a month and a few days.

Given that ffg releases on thursdays i dont expect the 17th to be right Never knew that. Well I guess not then.

I know this us probably wishful thinking but I was told the 17th of August. Which is tomorrow. I hope it's tomorrow. But again wishful thinking probably. A friend got the Arc and the SF Tie from Gencon. I got to try the SF Backdraft. He is kinda nice. I flee him with Marek Stele in Advance and the inquisitor. He died both games. But did some damage before then. My Green Dice was bad. The Arc isn't to bad. But it will die too. He flew it with super Dash. I just targeted the Arc while Dash was flying around. Then dealt with him.

I ran this a couple times. Worked pretty good. IG-B: HLC, Tractor beam, FCS, Mindlink, Hot Shot Blaster, Auto Thrusters Tensarri: Mangler, Mindlink, Title Tensarri: Mangler, Mindlink, Title

oh right, that most competitive of epts So Kylo is going to be super competitive right now too? Just saying it could show up if he does start seeing play. Things do change right? idk, I read it as saying "his ability is pointless anyways" but it is the internet, so eh. Tone is hard in the case of kylo, there's really nowhere to put determination on outside a decimator. It's really REALLY crappy given the ratio of pilot cards to ship cards and the likelihood that you die without having a faceup card ever touch your hull Sorry. I am saying if he targets a ship with his ability and it has determination on it. It Makes his ability pointless. As he can only pull pilot damage cards. Sure ships die without taking a crit sometimes if not most times. But if you are bringing him. You are going to try to mitigate those crits with using Palp or other means. Of course I am not sure how I feel about these new style cards anyways. But we shall see when they are available.

Just use determination. His ability is pointless anyways.

I like the idea of dropping the debris field out of Dash. Cause he wouldn't care about it later on but he would lose that ever so useful EU.

I have been flying Inquisitor: PTL, Title, Twin Ion Engine MK II Opening up his banks to green really is nice to help him not be as predictable. I have really enjoyed flying him with this build. But he is a bit weaker against Turrets this way.

I would have been happy if the title was 0 points.

You ain't been to Tex-HEL... have you Brah? No but I live in Maryland where there is 100+* weather.

That's what I took from the article as well.

Honestly everything excites me for different reasons. They all seem like great additions to the game.

Rebels: B-wing, Pilot Farlander (I know B's die quick. But Advance Sensors, Engine and PTL is so fun) Imps: Phatom, Pilot Echo Scum: Firespray, Pilot Kath / M3, Pilot Tansarii / Star viper, Pilot Guri (of course)

I bet they were in direct sunlight. I leave my stuff in my car all the time. But I make sure they are out of sunlight. On the floor behind the seat or whatever. No problems.

I have flown Keyan with Oppertunist. It works really well. I do advance sensors on Keyan build with opportunist. It helps him get where he needs to be. It allows him to do actions and bump on purpose if te can to help him survive longer. Helps him barrel roll before hand if he needs to. Helps him do action before he K's in case he needs to. It is just an awesome upgrade on him.
