I chatted with Tipperary a bit on Vassal after the ban but didn't get much more out of him than that, I think some of the BKL (which I assume is Black Knight Leader) posts he took umbrage to got deleted as well. Doesn't make a lot of sense. R.I.P. prequel ships ;_;

Jawlines pretty much always look guy-like from low angles like that.

All I know about slurs is that the only way they have impact is if you personally let them get to you, raising a fuss simply perpetuates the negativity of a term.

Prequel ship design deserves love too!

Surely it'd be the ARC dial? Doesn't feel like it should be quite Y-sluggish on greens.

I would if someone would make a decent version of it for Vassal.

Pretty unlikely, it's got the upgrade slots to very versatile even if the statline and dial are only half good.

Is it worth losing the initiative bid and Scourge (or Mithel) to put epsilon leader in the group? with Youngster's range requirement you're already in close - and now you're able to more easily deal with the double stress. Can Youngster actualy give Quickdraw Rage??? I don't think Tie/SF counts as Tie Fighter. "TIE"/sf "Fighter" typecasting doesn't care about contiguity.

"Immediately before you are assigned a stress token, you may perform a free evade action." Or at least that's the closest I can get it to FFG's wording. I dunno, the amount of ISD fire those things dodged seems like it should be worth it.

Now I feel old, I remember a flash animation back in like 2002 that referenced it and it was ancient then.

Funnily enough there's not actually anything in the TOS preventing duplicate accounts. I presume dupes that engaged in whatever got the original banned would also be banned, but aside from that it's not like the forums have a lot of moderation (which I guess Joe is a continuing example of *shrug*) I'd talked to Tipperary a bit both before and after the ban, I think he burnt out afterwards and stopped playing. Certainly hasn't kept up the What We Know posts on the blog he made after, or done anything with prequel ships.

If he made normal posts he wouldn't get attention.

That seems to have already been the case, at least PGS cares enough to talk about the game, where this guy seems to think the forums are his own personal Facebook page. (note that I've had him blocked so I'm just guessing from reactions in this thread that he's as usual making awful posts totally unrelated to the game)

Why get annoyed? It was never canon, any of it, as demonstrated by Lucas' interpretation of Mandalore.The team in charge of lore actually gives a ****. I feel like Wendig being approved at all puts the nails so deep into that particular coffin that whoever pulls them out would be crowned Queen of the Naboo. One example out of the various really good ones?More "mediocre" than "really good", though I'll grant that the EU has the same issue, we've just had time to pick out all the good stuff and nucanon isn't there yet.

VASSAL is literally the devil and 100% responsible for every lost X-Wing sale that goes into Attack Wing to line Wizards' coffers.

Unfortunately it's so heavily casualized that it makes Rogue Squadron 2 look like DCS:A-10.

Same cost but potentially more annoying version: Ten/Calculation/Tractor/FCS/E2/Boba

That's an impostor! http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/R5-G8 Though I guess the real Gate was Wedge's as well.

I play X-Wing because I can't paint. In short: no. In long: NoooooOO.

Mauler/Scourge/Zeta+Snap Shot actually sound great, every die you add is statistically better than the naked greens your opponent is rolling.

^26pt Tarn is looking pretty great, though only rerolling 1 die is kind of meh - I had an opponent practically pulling his hair out last week after converting something like three 2-hit/crit attacks in a row into full blanks.

Ionization removing armour is kinda weird thematically - I do agree that there should also be a way to modify the movement (Maybe copy the 'don't assign a dial' part of Ion tokens, but not the 'perform a 1-straight' bit). e: I was mildly skeptic about the inverted base inserts (and the firing arcs colors could probably be flipped), but that would look perfect with a snowfield table!

Instead of destroying the AT-AT and being AT-AT specific, what if Tow Cable reduced "Agility or Armor value" by 1? Makes it easy to shoot the AT-AT necks, and can be a pseudo-tractor beam on flying ships (I assume it'd be short-range)

I'm not totally sold on some of the cards, but the base differentiation mechanics look great! Should AT-ATs be Armor 2? Snowspeeders shouldn't exactly be able to damage them without lucky crits (though Hull 12/Armor 2 would be mildly obscene I guess). 8x Snowtrooper+HLC seems like it would be a barrel of laughs. It's not really possible without a bunch of photoshopping, but I feel like Ground units should have something like the Epic range-box for primary weapon, rather than listing a bunch of special rules. Unstoppable for the AT-AT is kind of weird, because flying vehicles should just be able to climb over it, but trying to adjust the bases is physically tricky. What if flying vehicles adjusted like a normal bump but kept their action, and Ground units got deleted? I feel like the Rebel emplacements ought to not have a 'pilot name' at all, just a type. Type+name for different statlines makes sense for ground troops since I guess you want to be able to typecast them for upgrades.
