Hello all, Due to my lack of sufficient disposable funds and excess number of T-65 and U-Wing ships, I have decided to not purchase the Saw's Renegades packs and I'm actually looking for extra copies of the new 1.0 stuff. I need: 4x Flight Assistant Astromechs 5x Renegade Retrofit 5x Servomotor Foils Also if you are among the few that have purchased multiple copies of Saw's Renegades, I am also looking for the following in 2.0 -Unique pilots and crew. I don't need any of the 2.0 T-65 S-Foils or U-Wing title since I'll be getting those anyway in the conversion kits and core set. I'm just after the stuff that only comes in Saw's Renegades (pilots and crew). Right now the only commodity I have to offer are 1.0 materials including: -upgrade cards (including those found in Epic expansions such as Adv. Targeting Computer), -extra copies of unique and generic pilots (templates and cards), -alternate art cards both pilots and upgrades, -damage decks (both original and TFA), -ordinance tokens, -debris cloud tokens, -mini-card sleeves, -acrylic stress and ion tokens, -extra ships that I don't see myself using anymore: -B-Wing -TIE Bomber (original blue color) -Quadjumper -T-70 X-Wing -TIE Punisher I also have acquired the following extra ships from when I bought my friend's collection but BE WARNED, they are NOT in original condition: -Decimator (Custom paint job. Metallic dark silver with red windows) -YT-2400 (Custom paint job. All original except for blue/white engine glow effect) -T-65 (Custom paint job, white with various shades of green bars and stripes) -2x TIE Advanced (Custom paint jobs, similar to Decimator with dark metallic silver with red on window frames) -2x TIE Interceptors (Custom paint jobs, gold with black tarnishings) -2x K-Wings (Damage, both have 1 damaged nose cannon and one has a magnetic base since the original plastic one broke off. Matching magnetic peg will be included) -2x E-Wings (Damage, both have magnetic base pegs in place of original plastic ones that broke off. Matching magnetic pegs will be included). Not the finest stock I know, but maybe they can still be useful to someone (practice paint jobs, spare parts for repair or custom modified ship designs, or just want a ship to fly but don't want to pay for it. And considering that you'll be trading for ships that you may be able to use in exchange cards that will become worthless in a few months, it's not that bad of a trade in my opinion and I will do my best to make it more favorable for you). So if you have extra stuff from Saw's and would be interested in a trade, please message me and let's work something out. I am based in Los Angeles. Here are my list of previous trade references over the past 2 years that can vouch for me. -Thornne -EchoSeven -Keoki -WarriorPoet -gennataos -chief4ryan -cubsfan4life -Sanguinary Dan Thank you for your time!

Dang, they nerfed Jake. A-Wings were what got me into the game in the first place and now their best pilot isn't so great anymore. It seems that random X-Wing pilot 'something Two Tubes' got his ability (well something pretty close to it). I'm not too happy about some of their Initiative choices for some of these other pilots too. I'm still excited about the game and look forward to playing it, but there's going to be a lot of things I'll miss from the original game.

Just wanting to get a hold of another Alpha-class Starwing ship. I have a lot of extra upgrade cards, pilots cards, and even a few alternate art stuff. I’m in Los Angeles California, and I have a list of previous trade references if needed.

Well thank you to those who gave constructive comments. I appreciate the feedback. Yes I chose the BB-8 Intensity build because it was the one I have flown the most. I’m the only Rebel player in my community so I don’t see other variations of Poe and the last time I played Regen Poe with R2-D2 (a little over a year ago) I found him sluggish, predictable, and expensive. So since then I decided to stick to a more maneuverable build (BB-8 with PTL, until Intensity came along) and haven’t given Regen a second thought. But it seems I underestimated that Advanced Optics could make Regen Poe playable again. So I’ll give him another shot. If I had the points I’d give him PTL, but unfortunately with AO and R2 I’m left with VI for EPT (or maybe Crackshot).

So this is really just me thinking out loud. With the choices of Primed Thrusters, Pattern Analyzer, Advanced Optics, and Comm Relay, I'm often trying to figure out which one I should use for Poe (and also for other ships with the Tech slot). Each upgrade has it's Pros and Cons, so I'm writing down how each one behaves in 4 scenarios; executing a green maneuver, a red maneuver, a green while stressed, and a white while stressed. For this I'm using: Poe with Intensity, BB-8, and Black One (not bothering with Mods since they really don't impact the results). If you feel you're in a similar position then I hope this will help you out. If not and you don't even use Poe or already know which is the best tech for your build, then this might be a waste of your time. Anyway, let's get started. Primed Thrusters: 1) Green Maneuver: BB-8: Still activates Intensity: Activates from BB-8 and grants you a Focus or Evade Black One: Still activates if you have a red target lock Main Action: Most likely a focus if you chose an evade via Intensity for extra defense, a TL for extra offense, or a boost for better arc dodge or firing position Total Actions/Mods: 3. Barrel roll BB-8, focus/evade Intensity, and your main action End results: No stress, shred off enemy TL, spend a token so Intensity is ready for next round, and you have a TL or evade for extra mods during Combat 2) Red Maneuver: BB-8: Does NOT activate Main Action: Only option is Boost Intensity: Activates only if you choose a boost as your action after red maneuver Black One: Only from your boost Total Actions: 2. Boost & focus/evade (most likely focus) End results: You're stressed, but shred off enemy TL if boosted, need to sacrifice focus/evade from Intensity to re-use it for next turn 3) Green Maneuver while stressed: BB-8: Still activates Intensity: Activates from BB-8 and grants you a Focus or Evade Black One: Still activates if you have a red target lock Main: Most likely a focus if you chose an evade via Intensity for extra defense, a TL for extra offense, or a boost for better arc dodge or firing position Total Actions: 3, barrel roll, focus/evade, and your main action End results: No stress, shred off enemy TL, spend a token so Intensity is ready for next round, and you have a TL or evade for extra mods during Combat 4) White Maneuver while stressed: BB-8: Does NOT activate Main Action: Only Boost Intensity: Activates only if you choose a boost as your action after red maneuver Black One: Only from your boost Total Actions: 2: boost & focus/evade (most likely focus) End results: You're stressed, but shred off enemy TL if boosted, need to sacrifice focus from Intensity to re-use it for next turn Pattern Analyzer: 1) Green Maneuver: BB-8: Still activates Intensity: Activates from BB-8 and grants you a Focus or Evade Black One: Still activates if you have a red target lock Main Action: Most likely a focus if you chose an evade via Intensity for extra defense, a TL for extra offense, or a boost for better arc dodge or firing position Total Actions: 3, barrel roll, focus/evade, and your main action End results: No stress, shred off enemy TL, spend a token so Intensity is ready for next round, and you have a TL or evade for extra mods during Combat 2) Red Maneuver: BB-8: Does NOT activate Main Action: Any action is available Intensity: Activates only if you choose a boost as your action after red maneuver Black One: Only from your boost Total Actions: 1 or 2 max possible: boost & focus/evade (most likely focus), or any single standard action (TL or Focus) End results: You're stressed, shred off enemy TL if boosted, need to sacrifice focus from Intensity to re-use it for next turn 3) Green Maneuver while stressed: BB-8: Does NOT activate Main: Any action is available Intensity: Activates only if you choose a boost as your action Black One: Activates only if you choose a boost as your action Total Actions: 1 or 2 max possible: boost & focus/evade (most likely focus), or any single standard action (TL or Focus) End results: No stress, shred off enemy TL if boosted, Intensity is ready for next round, and you have a TL or evade for extra mods during Combat 4) White Maneuver while stressed: BB-8: Does NOT activate due to previous stress Main Action: No action Intensity: Does NOT activate due to no action due to previous stress Black One: Does NOT activate due to no action due to previous stress Total Actions: None End results: You're still stressed, still target locked, and left with no actions/mods for this round Advanced Optics: 1) Green Maneuver: BB-8: Still activates Intensity: Activates from BB-8 and grants you a Focus or Evade (best to choose Evade for this so you can gain Focus later and have something to sacrifice to flip up Intensity) Black One: Still activates if you have a red target lock Main Action: Most likely a focus if you chose an evade via Intensity for extra defense and to flip over Intensity, a TL for extra offense, or a boost for better arc dodge or firing position Total Actions/Mods: 3 (or 4 max if you already have a Focus stored from a previous round), barrel roll from BB-8, Evade from Intensity, (Focus from previous round) and your main action (being Boost or TL) End results: No stress, shred off enemy TL, best to spend an Evade so Intensity is ready and flipped up, and you now have a Focus Token to carry into the next round 2) Red Maneuver: BB-8: Does NOT activate Main Action: No action Intensity: Does NOT activate due to no action due to previous stress Black One: Does NOT activate due to no action due to previous stress Total Actions/Mods: None, UNLESS you already have a Focus token stored from a previous round End results: You're stressed, still target locked, and either have one Focus token or nothing 3) Green Maneuver while stressed: BB-8: Does NOT activate Main: Any action is available (Focus best option, or TL since it can also carry over to next round. If you already have a Focus from previous round then you can boost and evade, then spend evade to reuse Intensity later) Intensity: Activates only if you choose a boost as your action (However you will have to spend a token in the end phase if you want to use Intensity next round) Black One: Activates only if you choose a boost as your action Total Actions/Mods: 1 up to 3 max possible depending on if you already have a Focus from a previous round End results: No stress but if you chose to boost you'll shred off enemy TL, and gain a focus/evade HOWEVER you'll have to give it up to keep using Intensity, so you're left with nothing UNLESS you chose to Focus as your main action and now you have something to carry on to the next round. 4) White Maneuver while stressed: BB-8: Does NOT activate due to previous stress Main Action: No action Intensity: Does NOT activate due to no action due to previous stress Black One: Does NOT activate due to no action due to previous stress Total Actions/Mods: None,UNLESS you already have a Focus token stored from a previous round End results: You're stressed, still target locked, and either have one Focus token or nothing Comm Relay: (pretty much the exact same as Advanced Optics) 1) Green Maneuver: BB-8: Still activates Intensity: Activates from BB-8 and grants you a Focus or Evade (best to choose Evade for this so you can keep it for future defense, or if you already have an Evade then choose Focus) Black One: Still activates if you have a red target lock Main Action: Most likely a focus if you chose an evade via Intensity, or a TL if you already have an Evade from Comm and Focus from Intensity, or a boost for better arc dodge or firing position Total Actions/Mods: 3 (or 4 max if you already have an Evade stored from a previous round), barrel roll from BB-8, Focus from Intensity, (Evade from previous round) and your main action (being Boost, TL, or a second Focus) End results: No stress, shred enemy TL, best to spend your Focus so Intensity is ready and flipped up, and you now have an Evade Token to carry into the next round 2) Red Maneuver: BB-8: Does NOT activate Main Action: No action Intensity: Does NOT activate due to no action due to previous stress Black One: Does NOT activate due to no action due to previous stress Total Actions/Mods: None, UNLESS you already have an Evade token stored from a previous round End results: You're stressed, still target locked, possibly still locked, and either have one Evade token or nothing 3) Green Maneuver while stressed: BB-8: Does NOT activate Main: Any action is available (Boost best option for action economy, especially if you already have an Evade from previous round then you can boost and Focus, then spend Focus to reuse Intensity later) Intensity: Activates only if you choose a boost as your action (However you will have to spend a token in the end phase if you want to use Intensity next round) Black One: Activates only if you choose a boost as your action Total Actions/Mods: 1 up to 3 max possible depending on if you already have an Evade from a previous round End results: No stress but if you chose to boost you'll shred enemy TL and gain a focus/evade, HOWEVER you'll have to give it up to keep using Intensity, so you're left with nothing UNLESS you already have an Evade from previous round 4) White Maneuver while stressed: BB-8: Does NOT activate due to previous stress Main Action: No action Intensity: Does NOT activate due to no action due to previous stress Black One: Does NOT activate due to no action due to previous stress Total Actions/Mods: None, UNLESS you already have an Evade token stored from a previous round End results: You're stressed, still target locked, and either have one Evade token or nothing Well congrats, you've read through all of it and I hope it's been helpful to you. In reviewing what I've concluded, in my own opinion I'd rank the 4 by the following (#3 and #2 are closely tied, and once again this is for this Poe loadout. Other ships that behave differently will have different results): #4) Pattern Analyzer. It doesn't add any advantage to a green maneuver with/without stress and doesn't help a white maneuver with stress. It only shines if you're doing to be doing a lot of red moves. #3) Advanced Optics. I'd only choose this one if I don't have 3 pts for Comm Relay. While it is very useful for Poe since he relies on Focus tokens, if you gain a Focus from Intensity then you immediately have to use it up in the End Phase since you can't get another Focus token from you're main action and Evade isn't an option (not without outside help anyway). Also sometimes I think it is good for Poe to have two Focus tokens in case he rolls 2+ focus dice results for offense or defense. #2) Comm Relay. I like this one since it allows you to potentially have up to 2 Focus tokens and 1 Evade. I think it's main drawback is the extra point over Advanced Optics. However, both Comm Relay and Advanced Optics can leave you wide open with no actions/mods if you do a red maneuver or still stressed while doing a white maneuver, so unless you already have one stored token, you're wide open for an easy attack. #1) Primed Thrusters. From all 4 basic scenarios this card can still grant you access to the boost action which will activate Intensity for an additional token and shred any Target Locks off of you or nearby opponent. You can still use BB-8 even while you have a stress and plus it is the cheapest of these four. Thanks again for reading. I hope this has been helpful to you.

I don't know if this topic has been discussed already, but does anyone know of any special rules or modifications to make the Imperial Player automatic? (My friends and I like playing the game, but we'd rather have everyone on the same team instead everyone else versus one person). Something along the lines of making Imperial player decisions based on dice results, like Heroes of the Aturi Cluster for X wing, or a deck of cards like in Zombicide. Any suggestions or information would be greatly appreciated.

Awesome guide! Will there another update soon with the new ships, like Upsilon Shuttle and Quadjumper?

So we're all familiar with jousting, the basic attack strategy. Simply group up your ships and charge head on. But what about other strategies to do, such as pincer attacks and baiting your opponent, and any other methods? I've been trying to open by splitting my forces and having them get my opponent into a pincer attack by the first or second combat phase, but it hasn't been working. Either my opponent rushes my ships before they can turn inward, or he suddenly waits and slows down and mine move in too soon and are unable to get a good angle, or he goes after one half and my other is too far out to make an attack. Does anyone have any good recommendations for how to accomplish good opening maneuvers? I've read a few, like the Art of Deception with the Super Dash build, but it's hard to apply those tactics in a build that doesn't have a ship as manuevable as Dash. Some kind of formula or pattern would be great too, like 'do this move first, then this one', 'if your opponent goes here, then go there', 'don't let your ships get out of (x) range of each other'. Articles and tips like that would really help.

Confirming a good trade with Keoki. Thanks

Focus, evade, stress, target locks, shields, numbers, etc. Every player that has purchased 7 or 8 expansions already owns enough that he/she'll ever need. So I'm just curious to what other players do with all those dozens of useless extra tokens. Keep them in a shoebox somewhere, toss them in the recycle bin, or something creative?
