Liked seeing Kylo Holo Tavson there for obvious reasons...but who the **** counts Tavson as an ace? -
Prequel faction tech is thematically represented as not quite as good as OT era stuff. Case in point, Jedi Interceptors don't hit hard unless they line the target up very specifically or give it a heavier model, which reduces its weaving agility capabilities despite the very small frame. The N-1 is very fast and can consistently dodge, but it pales in comparison to the same trick from the Empire's experimental TIE/D Defender. General Grievous' incredible hotrod is by OT faction stuff...quite outdated. Since Republic likes to go more Proto-Empire for non-Clones but Proto-Rebels for Clones, I'm assuming they'll give the Clone Z-95 the exact statline of the other ones (since the Z-95 was outdated by the time of the Galactic Civil War and the statline seems very typical for a Prequel Era ship) but give it a ship ability that will increase effectiveness through Rebel-style work together abilities. Maybe... Coordinated Attacks: While you perform a primary weapon attack, if the defender is in the bullseye of another friendly Z-95, you may roll 1 additional attack die.

The fact that it is a 2 attack 3 agility ship does a lot to differentiate it from the Naboo, Torrent, and Z-95. Old Obi-Wan's ability helps clone pilots out a lot, especially in durability, and that 3rd modded agility is so much better than just 2 modded agility. Granted, the V-Wing doesn't link out from green tokens, and that's inconvenient, but Shaak Ti lets you bank a green token for next turn, rather handy for the V-Wing in particular, especially if it wants to flex that boost that the Torrent and Z don't have. Let's not also forget that Aayla Secura pilot's support ability is purely passive and favors higher agility friends. You see far more Serissu with M3-A's than you do with Z-95's, no?

We're still looking for article errors, right? The Obi-Wan player apparently doesn't know how to perform talon rolls/cheats but moved ahead to the Extreme Maneuvering boost so the droid player will never notice. Look at that, not only not flush, but shifted somewheres between the mid-roll and the roll forward.

Be careful not to choke on your aspirations. Oh, look at that. Darth Vader just got you with the finger game.

So if they aren't blind, they'll deploy the garrison?

DICE MODIFICATION Players can modify dice by spending various tokens and by resolving abilities. Dice can be modified in the following ways: • Add: To add a die result, place an unused die displaying the result next to the rolled dice. A die added in this way is treated as a normal die for all purposes and can be modified and canceled. • Change: To change a die result, rotate the die so that its faceup side displays the new result. • Reroll: To reroll a die result, pick up the die and roll it again. • Spend: To spend a result, remove the die from the dice pool. (pg.9) No U. Sunny loses. -
I agree with @ClassicalMoser wholeheartedly, but a game of X-Wing typically pans out to only a minute or two absolute maximum in-flight. Too fast paced for ship general reshielding!

Results = dice. Hard cap at 6, sadly. -

YEET v BRRRRTTTTT. Battle of the YOLOs has begun. Onto jousting. Most YOLO Ben's joust with evade Holo's now and then, so he's flying as Solo's never again. -
Use new Obi with Y Wing Anakin to flex like a boss.
-
I did a rebel list back in the day with 2 fully modded I6 Y wing Torps and Airen made it possible. But even then and with a Hull Upgrade,he burned down real fast. The goal was to set up an endgame with Wedge and at least one of the Y Wings. Went 4-0 at a kit tournament with it in Wave 1 and didn't fly it again. I'd imagine that the meta is both mobile and tanky enough to disregard it
-
I'd play new Obi if he's 55. Soontir, but repositioning is different, force is even easier to have (instead of bullseye, it's always on), LAAT rerolls, purple maneuvers, astromech slot, other Republic support stuff, etc. The only downside from going from Soonts to Obi is the initiative drop. I suppose there's also the bit about needing bullseye to get your 3 dice, but whatevs. 7th fleet is in faction if you find yourself having trouble landing that or if you're moving first.

Imagine trying to use R2's movie trick designed into the card only to let someone convince you that remotes aren't devices. RIP.

Everything you need to know about FFG's costing model, as evidenced by the Nantex:
-
Kylo with Afterburners would be diminishing returns, but that's out of the question since he doesn't have the mod slot.
-
Very scary, but dependent on I6 meta share. Instinctive Optics Torps run you at 94, and you are slightly less scary to I5 and below, but that snipe is terrifying to I6.
-
I was initially disgusted, but now I remember that Targeting Computer can give him his offensive rerolls. -Edit- Nevermind, Daredevil turns your white into a red. So I'm still disgusted. Daredevil Vonreg is a nice equivalent though, unless you prefer Outmaneuver to make those shots count.
-
Also Aayla is a better support ship than Yoda. Fite Mii.
-
I'd prefer the Maneuvers. Hate is cool for maximizing DPS against I6 or I5's moving after you, but when moving last with Kylo, Hate isn't particularly useful unless you get too aggressive with him. Extreme Maneuvers seem to increase both time on target and arc-dodging capacities. Granted, not on the same level as Supernatural Reflexes, but certainly for a fraction of the cost. If it's only 3 pt, I'll easily take it over Hate. Heck, unless I'm running Instinctive Aim for Torpedoes, I'd try to squeeze it in for a basic Kylo as opposed to the 3 pt I'd save from running stock.
