I would say morale is up after the FAQ. It's unfair to point fingers in the last few months.
TasteTheRainbow reacted to this -
I bought 2 boxes. One the first day it was released and another one a few weeks later. Got the exact same 30 rares in each box and 2 of the same 6 Legendary cards. While that was nice since I now have 2 of things like Grevious, Leia, Qui-Gon, Jetpack, Sith Holocron, etc.. I didn't need to end up with 4 Veers, 4 Bala-Tik, 4 Ackbar, 4 Nightsisters, 4 Tuskens, 4 Force Trainings (got 2 in each box). The repeat legendaries I got were Launch Bay and Force Choke.
Atleast 2 force choke is good. Shrug

I read the FAQ and it said damage is dealt when you are placing damage on your character.
is not true.
^^^^
ummm.... The FAQ LITERALLY SAYS: Damage is taken only when one or more damage tokens are placed on the character.
After reading this entire thread, I don't think the answer is clear. The moving damage description says "NEW CHARACTER" which implies it is talking about cards specifically targeting 2 characters (not support to character).
This is my opinion, and I now want FFG to comment.

Tiny Grimes has said you can do this, but I've seen reddit comments disagreeing. Last night, a judge told me you cannot do it due to the wording on Backup muscle. I read the FAQ and it said damage is dealt when you are placing damage on your character.
SOOO anyone have an OFFICIAL answer, and not what you "think" it is?

How would you compare them to force throw?

As someone completely lost deck building, do you guys mind listing some of the key cards in the decks you are mentioning....
For example, eJango, 2 storm: what cards are key?
eVeers/eJango: i assume a lot of guns, what are some of the reasons to play these 2?
I own these cards, but no direction for trading/building a deck.
Thanks!

Prediction: Fenn sacrifices himself down the line to stop/slow down thrawn for the rebellion. This story gave me the future martyr vibe.

Hot Shot + Sensor Jammer seems neat.

I went to my 2nd bi-weekly xwing event last week. It was a lot of fun, but still learning and I made a lot of mistakes. No big deal. One thread here (rules lawyering) reminder me of an opponent that left me feeling helpless.
Now in the moment, I ended up winning so I let things slide. But had things gone different, I would probably still feel really cheated. He was decloaking and bumped my ship, but it was obvious he needed this decloak to go his way (he hit an asteroid due to block during movement step). He was blocked by a good amount. He pushed my ship back (quarter of an inch?), I sort of blurted out in confusion "Doesn't look like it'll fit." As a newbie the phantom is a mystical creature, so it wasn't obvious in the moment why this mattered so much to my opponent.
He a few turns later was K-turning a Defender over my Shadowcaster. It looked really tight. He kind of did this fast place template loosely against ship grab ship action, then dropped nearly touching Shadowcaster. He obviously was upset about his phantom landing on a rock, so I decided to bite my tongue.
Lastly, I could understand if all his play were sloppy, but they were not.
In restrospect, his style was almost practiced and aggressive. He moved in such a way that forced me to say something uncomfortable. I've played magic the gathering in several tournaments, so I'm not afraid to call a judge. The problem is I ran the conversations in my head and it was always akward. In mtg, you know a trigger was missed, mechanic is wrong, etc. 99% when I called a judge I knew I was right going into the conversation, but I didn't want to argue with my opponent. Now if I call a judge, "My opponent moved his ship sloppy" or some variation. It's his word against mine. How can I prove he was one tenth of an inch off? Every interaction feels confrontational.
There was a few minor other moments, but the 2 mentioned were massively game changing. It wasn't even the movements, it was the casual bravado of "I challenge you to say something" vibe I got. Or "I'm going to do this, worst case I apologize and take it back." Either way, I become the bad guy.

They said dengar didn't have a 3 sloop 100% because of unhinged Astromech.
-
Are you allowed to flip the debris around and attempt to bump a ship? It seems a little sketchy, but why was the debris not built to tightly fit the template? Why is it not symetrical?
-
Interesting, guess I missed that in the most recent FAQ. Good to know.
-
I think you are wrong about target lock, You can check for target lock, then choose to not take it.

Gets,
I have to report that I was FINALLY able to make this happen. Funny thing, completely not planned, on the night that I showed up at the FLGS with my dual-Firesprays, there were two other guys also with two scum Firesprays. There were 4 games played by those lists, and all 4 were won that night. I am sure that does not mean that they will sweep the next set of tournaments, but it was so great to see them on the table
pics or didn't happen.

Talonbane and Kavil - not sure if TOP tier, but more fun.

Refit: (-1) Squad points
****Fits on Torpedo/Missile/Modification slot.
Slave 1: (2) Gain System Upgrade and Loop action. Slave 1 does a Loop in episode 2. Could this be a stop maneuver or 1 reverse? Make it an action like Inertial dampeners. Lore wise, Slave 1 was very advanced. Gameplay, Fire Control Systems/HLC/IG-88D crew could be neat with IG-88B.
-
Y'know that build might actually work, simply because the lancer only has 1 red maneuver. You'll have to be pretty good with Gyroscopic Targeting (2).
-
Slave 1 should have a system upgrade slot. Fett made it the most advanced ship in the galaxy. It didn't need a torpedo slot. I'd also recommend Slave 1 gets a weapon discount. Like -1 to any equiped weapon.
I also wish IG-88D crew wasn't actually a crew slot. Like a generic title that was Large ship and scum only. It would probably make the jumpmasters more broken, but for the firespray/hounds tooth it is fine. Neither of them even have boost naturally.
-
Brobot Fett (100)
Boba Fett (52) - Firespray-31
Attanni Mindlink (1), Heavy Laser Cannon (7), IG-88D (1), Engine Upgrade (4)
IG88-B (48) - Aggressor
Attanni Mindlink (1), Fire Control System (2), Heavy Laser Cannon (7), IG-2000 (0), Autothrusters (2)
how about this? Mindlink is more efficient action, and you get the damage from iG-B

If scum ever get a 2 crew fighter like the shadowcaster... look out world. Scum is cursed with too many cool crew cards.

Amazon.com now shows December....
FFG are you for real

I totally understand the concern, but can we all put into perspective that the rebels and empire get movies at least every 2 years? If there is some godlike Rebel/Empire ship coming out of the next movie, we won't know for months. Just relax and trust FFG.
If mindlink/Jumps get nerfed.... scum will need help again. This new stuff coming is future scum, and I'm very happy to see it.
