Adding results (what Sunny does) and re-rolls (which can happen to a result Sunny adds) aren't rolling dice (as they just clarified for re-rolls this RR version). RAW the 6 dice cap only applies to the attack or defense roll (page 5 if you want to double check me). SUNNY WINS!!!

Not official, or perfect for that matter, but an interesting idea might be to use the Solo Play "AI" for one side of one of the smaller multiplayer Epic Battles scenarios and have the players be allied. The Solo Play rules are in their second iteration iirc. https://images-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com/filer_public/2d/6d/2d6d1669-5a0d-4a05-b022-5cf09c937655/x-wing-solorules_openalpha-compressed_v2.pdf

When did this thread become about removing the mod slot from Vader?

Pic links didn't work. Try removing everything after ".png" in the urls.

Frankly I'm hoping the Fugitives and Collaborators Squadron pack is a pair of MGTs and a Scum HWK with a few new pilots for both and some nice upgrades.

3 cards for Epic Battles (none of which are legal for Extended or Hyperspace tournament play). The command upgrade, the pilot card for the hyperspace ring and it's condition card. There is also 1 mini, the hyperspace ring, for Epic Battles in this pack.

I think this goes on the wingmates of the ship that has this: https://xwing-miniatures-second-edition.fandom.com/wiki/Veteran_Wing_Leader (sorry no image, ) Actis wings in Epic Battles are going to be tough to kill.

Luke (S-Foils provide the required Boost action since they can be equipped either side during squad building) and the Advanced V1s can equip it.

I think the TIE interceptor comparisons are accurate.

Black Sun got gutted by the Empire majorly during Rebels iirc, so similar issue to Mandalorians as a faction. Hutts... Jabba was the Hutt Cartel by the time of RotJ when Leia killed him so they'd have even less time to get to the level of being featureable as a faction. With the Mandalorians at least there is the possible fall back of one of the Clans finding a stash of older, pre disarament, Mandalorian made ships and using them to try and get revenge on the Imps with the New Republic getting caught in the crossfire. Just have to look at the Mandalorian series to see how that went (Squadrons precceds that iirc).

I'd have to check again, but I think that rulling applies to swapping upgrades. Daredevil and it's force power equivalent are equipped during squad building, and as others have stated you can equip the foils closed during squad building which adds boost to the T-65's action bar.

Firespray isn't a Mandalorian ship. It's Republic era Kuat Drive Yards (Technically by a subsidiary much like it's cousin the LAAT). All of the fighters I listed and two of the capital ships are Mandalorian designs, the Ion cannon frigate was a major refit of the CEC Action series freighter though. Biggest issue would be how to do so without "breaking" Canon restrictions on what was going on with the Mandalorians during that era.

Crusader, a down gunned version of the Scum Ion cannon frigate from EAW, and Kelbab?

Epic Battles and casual games only. Edit: To be fair they mentioned it in the GenCon stream back in July during your hiatus.

Might be, but like most of the "spoilers" we spot it is probably nothing.

Mandal Motors 4? (I,F,B,&S) Scyk or Fang, Dunelizard, Kimo, & Krayt?

Interesting. Same company that manufacturers the Kihraxz. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/TransGalMeg_Industries,_Incorporated Side door tie in for the non-Mandal Motors S&V fighters to be rereleased (there are also a couple that weren't released in 1.0)?

Yep.

Just in case noone else pointed this out. It has the same restrictions as Daredevil and last I checked T-65s with config were able to equip that in the official app so this should be no different. The config adds a white boost to the T-65's action bar when it is closed. Edit: @Vykk Draygo and @Des Darklighter already brought it up. ✌ 😄

Seconding the step back from the game and take a breather suggestion from earlier then. S&V still has a good bit on the horizon, some for certain from The Mandalorian, possibly some from the Kenobi series, and maybe from the Cassian series if it hasn't been canceled, and there is still the possibility for more canon Imp and Reb stuff in the pipe (Mandalorian, Cassian and Kenobi series' are all right around/in the OT era so stuff is bound to crop up in those).
