Definitely untrue. That would make R4 Agromech way better than it is. That may be the case but it does not say spend a focus to change all currently displayed focus results to hit/evades. It says all. This has really never come up because before there has never been a reason to spend the focus before rerolling. there has been, and that card is R4 Agromech. Spend, convert focus, get a Target Lock, use the Target Lock to reroll, no joy if you reroll into eyeballs. I guess it does need an FAQ then. Maybe no one realized that was part of R4 agromech or maybe I'm wrong and when you spend the focus its only the currently displayed results that count. Triple Scouts with R4 Agromechs was a meta-defining list for like 4 months. I'm thinking someone would have noticed if they worked that way. Well they were using the focus tokens for something other than their inherent effect so that would not have really helped them that much.I really do not like the Hotshot Co-pilot crew. It seems simple at first glance but when combined with other effects it becomes confusing pretty fast.

So when you spend a focus you change all eye results to hit/evades. It does not matter if the focus is currently on the die or not. What I mean by that is this: you attack a ship with Hotcop, roll blank, hit, focus. Spend focus because Hotcop told you to so now you have hit, hit,blank. You decide to spend the TL and reroll the blank and get a focus. Since you already spent the focus that immediately becomes a hit. So basically once you spend the focus its like you have a mandatory glitterstim for the rest of that attack/defense.

VOTE Here: Most Hated Upgrade Card in X-Wing
MenaceNsobriety replied to TitaniumChopstick's topic in X-Wing
VI and Adaptability. Pilot skill should be a Fixed number with temporary boosts. Second is probably X/7 just for the lack of counter play. Palp may be powerful but he is in essence a 29 point ship with a crap dial. PTL took the action race to a whole new level but some ships are just not that viable without it. Next topic. Best Dial- 2 Classes, Small ship and Large Ship -
Yes you can use Predator and reroll 1 then reroll the rest with Han afterwards. The best reason to do so is to try to make sure you miss the first attack not just do like 1 damage. Say you roll hit, hit, blank and reroll the blank into another blank. You can save your tokens and use Han to reroll both trying for focus or blanks to trigger Luke.

BB8 and Push the Limit along with Yorr and stress
MenaceNsobriety replied to zhentil's topic in X-Wing
1. Yes you can PTL off of BB-8 barrel roll and end with no stress. 2. You can only BB-8 BR while stressed if you have primed thrusters. you get an action after your move as long as you are not stressed (and didn't bump/hit an obstacle) during the perform action step. So as long as you have a way to get rid of the stress(Yorr, Electronic baffle) it does not matter that you did a red maneuver. Edit for clarity. Oh and I'm sure people will say rules forum next time. -
I have tried Finn on the VCX but have found that Buzzsaw lothal(FCS+gunner+Hera) and even the Autoblaster version much more effective. The ghost has plenty of firepower so it's better to ensure you can get arc and have two shots. Buzzsaw is my personal preference.

I would bet that it is 77 points chosen by vote and 73 of the players choice. Then they up standard tournament lists to 150 to match afterwards. I bet FFG is not thrilled my the trend towards 2 ship lists. That means people need fewer ships.
-
FFG if you are listening make this man/woman whole! We don't ask for much(we really do but you normally don't listen and it's probably a good thing.)
-
You drive faster than I do then, and I am considered to just fly really low. I feel that speed limits are suggestions not law. Now the Highway cops tend to disagree with me...Frequently

It is really more about those ships are able to more easily earn back the points you spent on them. They stick around long enough to do some decent damage. Any offensive fix for the X-wing would be a step in the right direction but with them being so fragile it would have to be a very large offensive bump to earn back the points you spent on it. Because of Biggs they can't do much about the survivability so offensive fixes are much more of an option.

Just be happy you live near an Open. I'm in ATL and the nearest to me is either Chi-town or SA. Around 10 hours by car to either.

You do realize that Dengar feels the drawback of Zuckuss so strongly Dengaroo invests 40 points to eliminate it, right?0 No Dengaroo invests 40+ points in another ship to gain MANY advantages not just to mitigate Zuckuss. Unlimited focus being more important than Zuckuss rerolls. The early successful vrrsions of Dengaroo used RecSpec on Manaroo and Painbot on Dengar. I still run my Dengaroo so because in my time with the list there were many more timesI wasglad I had a Painbot or 3 speed greens on Manaroo than times I was sad I didn't have a 3rd focus token. Therefore, at least some versions of Dengaroo have used 40+ points almost exclusively to negate the drawback of Zuckuss. Even the version you describe is not running manaroo purely because of Zuckuss. It is still mostly about giving Dengar multiple focus tokens so he has one for every attack. Bypassing Zuckuss drawback is just icing on the cake. FWIW I don't really think anything needs to be changed regarding the stress mechanics. I was just proposing a minor change if they felt they HAD to. Beating Dengaroo is really not that hard if you just block Dengars white Sloop. It still comes down to the skills of both pilots and that is what should decide a high level game.

Definately, makes no sense it has no restrictions when Elusiveness is "if you have no stress" and Expert Handling is "if you have no stress" and Opportunist is "if you have no stress". Overclocked R4 has no restrictions, wtf! Zuckuss no restritions, wtf! I think they limited Primed Thrusters to 3 stress because of Zuckuss abuse. Maybe BMST should have included "you may remove any amount of stress from the enemy ship, deal 1 dmg per stress removed." Then a Z-95 could essential one-shot Dengar with stress abuse. But what about poor tycho? Make Tycho in an X-wing with a new ability?

Possibly, but I think Tech on new Han and new Rey would be a little too powerful. PTL/PA/Kanan/Kyle, for instance. I do any non-red move, and get 3 actions (or a 3-sloop and 2 actions) for no stress. Kannan does not work with PA because he triggers after the maneuver not during check pilot stress
-
If they were to change the stress rules I would make it so that if you have one or more stress any maneuver that turns you around is red. Make all K-turns Tallons and Sigs unusable while stressed(unless you have Hera). Dengar is such a pain because he is ALWAYS pointed where he wants to be no matter what. I hate Zuckuss personally but think he is fair if there is a drawback. It would also give you some counter play options against defenders 4King all day.

Explain to me why this fortress wouldn't work.
MenaceNsobriety replied to gamblertuba's topic in X-Wing
It would be much easier to setup if the Y-wing just does a 2 hard turn the first turn while both buses do a 0. Another 2 hard by the Y on the second turn will cause the bump and both buses can 1 straight to clear the stress (not that it matters because you will never get an action anyway) -
Any X-Wing fix has to be either movement or attack related so it does not overpower the Mustachioed one. So I was thinking. Dogfighter (title) 0 points X-Wing only. Alliance only. While you do not have a stress token you may treat your 4K maneuver as white. When you reveal a white maneuver you may perform a free boost or barrel roll action. This would make the X-Wing a great jouster/arc dodger without overpowering Biggles or helping R2-D2 at all. Also has room for counter play because there are lots of ways an opponent can stress you.
-
I thought about 5 but settled on 4 because it just allows re-rolls not guaranteed defense. I would be okay with anything from the 4-6 point range though.
-
Your T65br title turns an X-wing into the worlds most expensive Z95 so that better be like -10 points!
-
I think that should be Obi-Wan! Maybe something like a condition you assign to one of your ships at the start of combat that lets you re-roll green dice and stops your opponent from modifying you green dice. Obi-Wan Kenobi crew 4 points. At the start of the combat phase assign the "May the force be with you." Condition to one of your ships. "May the force be with you." Condition When defending you may re-roll any number of defense die. Your opponent may not modify your defense die. Remove this condition during the end phase when unused focus and evade tokens are removed. Stops Zuckuss and Crack shot from screwing you and gives you a little better odds of rolling something useful.

Post-Worlds - Where are the cries to nerf Zuckuss?
MenaceNsobriety replied to Keffisch's topic in X-Wing
When it came out I was really surprised to see OCR4 not have the classic "If you don't have a stress token..." Most other cards that have a stress based downside have that clause. It seems like the few new upgrades without it have been turned into game changing combos pretty quickly.
