This will be awesome if we get these in time for Star Wars day

Yeah as much as I would like them to arrive that soon I am expecting July at the earliest for wave 4. I'm hoping that the transports will get to us by the end of May

Got to agree with the consensus here, you do not need the starter to play as you can buy everything separately, either other companies (asteroids & templates) or from people on ebay who have broken down the starter. However by the time you have bought the bits that you want individually you will probably have spent as much or more as you would on a starter. Also with the starter if you decide that you really do not want the ships you can sell them on to recoup some money.

+1 Ditto. Awesome squad builder! My only gripe with it is that it works very poorly on idevices. On my iPad and iPhone I can't change the squad name or the number of points as the popups don't work. Also the popup window with the EPT does not allow to scroll through all the upgrades. It's also very slow in general even on my iPhone 5. If the above issues were fixed I would be happy to donate some $. Cheers. Strange. All those things work on my iPad fine. Anyone else having the same issues? Vs I have the same issue using an iPhone but on the nexus everything is fine

Got to agree, it's definitely my favourite builder to use. It's permanently open in my browser at work for the odd list tinker, the only annoying thing is my company blocks facebook so I cannot sign. (For this I blame my employer, not you voidstate ) Thanks and keep up the good work, it's appreciated

I like elusiveness on Ibitsam as it allows you to force the attacker to re roll a die and then you get the re roll after. It is less effective if you are against a swarm of low PS ships however as you will be shooting before them when ideally you want to be shooting second with this combo.

Advanced cloaking device will allow him to cloak after attacking

How about it works the same way ion cannons fire ie un-cancelled hit resolve the card with no damage and the text reads something like blinded pilot, next time you attack roll no dice. Could be a similar missile to ion pulse

It has never occurred to me to use swarm tactics to lower a pilots skill but I quite like this idea. You could put it on a mid level fighter and raise or lower the squads skill depending on the situation. Stick it on Lt Blunt (forgot the real name) and he can either boost lower skill pilots or pull Wedge down to his level to shoot after he's taken the Stealth off someone (because that's all he's going to be used for apparently )

It looks like wave 2 reprints are still down as Q2 so anytime from April to June I'd guess

I just noticed that the upcoming page has been updated with a date of the 28th for these (apologies if this was spotted a while back) I had been looking forward to these as it has been getting tough to pick up B-Wings for retail in the UK recently with most of my FLGSs sold out. However with the Rebel Aces on their way later in the year (hopefully) I may hold out for them instead.

May 4th is just too good a launch date for them not to aim for

I thought about this but with Farlander having PS7 I don't know how effective elusiveness is going to be with most things shooting after him

Yeah with the Crew R2 you are taking the risk of nullifying Chewies pilot skill. If I was going to use this combo of crew on a Falcon it would probably be on Han as he has a re roll as his ability which would help to make up for the lack of a gunner.

I've been thinking the same thing

Could you put it on Tarn Mison (I can't remember if he has an EPT) he's going to be shooting late and will have a target lock on any one that has already shot at him which will combine nicely with opportunist. Starts to make him expensive though.

This is a great idea, makes me want to do the same in my next game

Sounds like it's just in the US & Canada for now, come on Netflix and Disney can't we get some love across the pond?

Have sent it to my nexus, tempted to sit at work now playing random Star Wars noises. However it'll probably be a bit too obvious its coming from the guy with the Yoda desk protector

Now imagine if there was a large ship that came with an astromech and a co pilot slot, you could take R3-A2 with a gunner and potentially hand out two stress tokens a turn. Wave 5 with the outrider and an astromech slot? Could be a good way to differentiate the outrider from the falcon? Buuuttttt thats way off topic....

It's a good time to be Rebel Scum

R3-A2 R2-D6 Flechette Torpedoes

That would be pretty cool, to see not just Tycho but some of the other Rebel heroes when they were attending the Imperial Academy and flying TIEs

Unfortunately not, it says you may not equip the upgrade if you already have the ept icon

Yeah my bad there. Still think Jek ability is pretty cool, with a fairly small chance of rolling a hit, it gives you a lot of options. It's not something I'd use everytime, but could be huge at the right moment, even if you took the damage. Yeah I'd like his ability more if my ships and asteroids did not appear to be magnetically attracted to each other I really hope the big ships just knock them out the way or my opponents will just be able to watch from a distance as I pinball through them
