  1. My top 3 most despised "forums" are, in no perpendicular order: Facebook, Reddit, Discord. I don't know how anyone uses these disorganized messes.
  2. I know this is a Kallus/Lando thread but since Vader is also being discussed I think there's one simple fix for Vader; Implacable doesn't do any damage and Vader's 2nd Implacable activation isn't limited to 1 action. This makes up for him using 1-2 other turns moving speed1 into a good position and makes his Implacable turned feared as it should be. Master of the Force 1 would be great. Seems like the perfect solution.
  3. This is one of many reasons ion should be removed from the game. When used properly it will cripple vehicles and droids, abd against everything else it's wasted points. Vehicles still aren't the best and if ion was prevalent they would be useless, and as a side effect so to would be droids. Bad design.
  4. Couldn't agree more. Plus, tapping cards is a royal pain. Many folks use ship docks and tapping isn't practical. I still can't get over having cost and upgrade symbols on the back of the card made it past pre-prototype.
  5. Correct me if I'm wrong, and maybe I'm missing something as I seem to be the only one to bring this up, did they remove the wound a transported unit suffers when the transporting vehicle takes damage? I read all of the relevant keywords. and even looked over the previous RRG. and they seemed to just replace that wound rule with now allowing transported units to be targeted by attacks. This is a very big change. Am I missing something?
  6. Folks here claiming Gernes and Alex Davy (Legion) were let go. Not good.
  7. Boycott Legion until they bring Alex back, with a raise!!!!
  8. Good idea to disable validation. The validation code is not easy to maintain, especially as more ships and upgrades and exceptions are added. It should never have been added, but I was in too deep before I realized the maintenance nightmare it was causing.
  9. disincentivizing Giving Vader Agile would work without having to change existing text on other abilities. That would give him 2 dodge tokens when he activates and moves into position, giving him surge to defense and disencentivitzing attacking him due to Deflect, which seems thematic! Vader being Agile doesn't seem too thematic though, does it?
  10. Sticking with just the original topic and Empire, all of the units mentioned are unworthy of tourney play and need something to make them desirable. I think most agree on that. Losing actions (due to Cumbersome or tapping cards) and moving speed 1 should have much higher consideration on a unit's effectiveness. Typically, a unit gets no more than 12 actions per game, often time less. Each is precious and using actions just to do things others can do for free makes for weak units. Speed 1 is horrible in this game, so when Vader get into melee, if he does, he should wreck. His damage output isn't that great for how long it takes him to get into combat. He often can't because he's not very durable and speed 1 lessons his impactful turns to maybe 1 or 2. Same for Palpatine, but at least he has Pull The Strings. I like these units having speed 1 but they need to wreck house when they attack, like Palpatine's 1pip. Not sure why Vader doesn't have surge to crit and 8 red dice. I really like the idea of Barrage on the E-Web. Would make for a good low cost generator upgrade card? Makes up for the loss of attack actions due to Cumbersome and seems very thematic. Spend time getting the turret in a good position and deployed, and boom, something like we saw in Mando! ATST (and AirSpeeder) just doesn't do enough damage for their points, even with a moderate point reduction. Their dice pool are less than the stronger and cheaper trooper options and they can't interact with many objectives, and their high cost consumes activations. Why would you take an ATST over a Deathtrooper or ISF? You shouldn't! These big vehicles should be scary on the battlefield, and they simply aren't right now. They just don't do have the offensive oooomph that the AAT and Saber have.
