I was aware of this from the get go, but after watching a friend who had played for quite a while struggle with templates I had to point out that the banks are essentially a 45 degree shift in direction and a hard turn is a 90 degree shift in direction. Essentially, if you are pointed directly at the board edge(12 o clock) and you do a hard right turn you will be facing the adjacent board edge(3 o clock) I was suprised greenies don't know this.

True, I shouldn't discount VASSAL as a good practice tool, every bit helps.

Why is it a pain to practice formation flying with actual models and templates? I would say thats much better practice than VASSAL. Throw some asteroids out and fly around!

YNOT you da man!

**** u ffg. Just when I think I'm done buying ships...

It would probably be a good choice for $$FFG$$. They would probably sell more units. I know some people that only buy for their faction of choice. It might also alleviate a nerf crying thread since every faction will have access to it. (and we all know the nerf threads need a nerf)

There is no card called coordinate. Are you referring to the coordinate action that the Bat Wing and Epic ships can perform?

how many people compete in these system opens?

Love it!

This leaves room for a new cannon. Incinerator Cannon - Range: 1 Attack Dice: 3 Cost: 2 Text: Roll double the attack dice when attacking wooden ships

PUKE! goood catch!

Even if the rebel pilot's ability isn't good (i guarantee it will be), there is sure to be some good bomb upgrade stuff you can use with Rebels. Plus it has a decent stat line and an EPT!

just put Sabine on someone else. I forsee a sabine nerf in the future where she only works on the ship she is on.

"Deathrain"

holy barf!

True, never noticed that.

Nothing meta shaking yet we will have to wait and see the pilot abilities. I hope that these upgrades won't increase the likelihood of playing against quad TLT's now that imps can do it too

5 PS2 x scimitar Tie Bombers w/ LWF & Unguided rockets VS 3 PS1 x Knave Squadron Ewings w/ Stealth Device, R2 Astromech & FCS I got my money on the Scimitars

Ya I agree with your points. 1 for 1 the E-wing is better. However, the bombers don't need to spend their focus on the attack, they can use it on defense. Unguided rockets just says you have to have one not spend it.

True! However, I think since Targeting computer and synced turret are the same price as TLT I would still choose TLT. TLT is great on Sabine because she still gets 4 dice at range 1 out the front.

I just had a thought. With the new wave 11 stuff, you can have 5 scimitar bombers with LWF and Unguided Rockets. This essentially give you 5- PS 2 ships with (essentially) 3-3-6-0 stats and Focus, target lock, barrel roll actions for 100 points. What I find immediately comparable to these scimitars is the naked Knave Squadron E-wing. You can field 3- PS 1 ships with 3-3-2-3 stats and focus, target lock, barrel roll and evade actions for 81 points. There ya go, the Imps now have economically friendly E wings

You can let go of TLT and give her homing missles and extra munisions for 35.

Certainly not the poor attack shuttles. no target lock action
