Dial leaks too... Red 1 turn on defender?! I don't get it.

Curse you FFG for the ever so convenient dial placement!

[Rakky Wistol 2,903]

ya.  Just enough to start speculating. 

[GiraffeandZebra 1,172]

So based on this and the original announcement:

Corran Horn is PS8.

Whisper is PS7.

Rexler is PS8.

Blount is PS6.

[Engine25 2,910]

the red 1 turn is because the defender is faster than any other TIE fighter, so to make such a tight turn they have to slam on the brakes. But it's okay, because it has a green 5 straight.

Great catch btw! Now let's finish the text on the cards!

Well, I think you probably take a 1-turn template, line it up with the nubs on the front of the ship, move the ship, then assign a stress token.

Unless it's new maneuver allows you to put the template anywhere...

[Tawnos 92]

Well, there's your "never before seen manuever".  Red 1 turn. 

[Jehan Menasis 1,562]

So slow maneuvers are hard for the Defender? Then, probably its 3's are green.

[AtomicFryingPan 1,825]

Did Corran ever fly an E-wing? I knew he had his green Corsec X-wing and I was hoping to see him as an X pilot.

[Eltnot 690]

You haven't seen the B-Wing dial?

[Rakky Wistol 2,903]

Whisper-

After you perform an attack that hits, gain 1 focus token?  Defender loses 1 focus token? Steal 1 focus token?

 

Corran-

At the start of the combat phase, you may perform a free target lock action.  That ship cannot attack you?

 

Rexlar-

After you perform an attack that deals at least 1 damage to the defender, you may give a token to an ally?

 

Blount-

When attacking, a defender hit by your attack does not shed stress/ion?  Does not get bonuses for range 1?  Does not get to reroll dice?

[Jehan Menasis 1,562]

Whisper: After you perform an attack that hits, you may assign 1 focus token to your ship.

 

Seems the most logical outcome

 

 

Ninja'ed!

We have super maneuverable, fast ships. We have slow, clunky ships. We have medium ships. How bout a ship that, instead of being slow and clunky out fast and agile, it is so FAST that the dial is limiting. we know the 5 straight is green. pure speculation, but maybe it doesn't have a straight shorter than 3, and has turns at 1 and 2 but they're all red? Would really set it apart.

[KCDodger 10,596]

I think they tweaked the Z-95 since the prototype. The paintjobs on these all look much better than the prototypes.

I like the idea, but what would the unseen/new maneuver be on the dial?

[Forgottenlore 9,824]

basically yeah, that is how I read it. Though I would bet that the speed 1 turns are red, the 2's white and the 3's green

[Darkheart 58]

Ditto.

The only time I can find would have been when the Rouges used E-wings and B-wings for a year or so.

[GiraffeandZebra 1,172]

So Rexler reads:

After you perform an (attack that) deals at least 1 D(amage to the) defender, you (???) token to f(???).

So it looks clearly like you are assigning tokens following a successful attack, but what is interesting is what appears to be an "f" after "token to". You would expect it to say "token to A (something)". That "f" leads me to believe that you would assign tokens to "friendly ships"...like maybe more than one.

On Whisper, I had similar thoughts, but it feels weak at that PS.

[Engine25 2,910]

One thing I doubt they will change is no ship has all three turn and bank speeds. maybe red 1s, whit e 2s, no 3s

Depends on how badly (s)he needs focus tokens, I guess.

Both the Interceptor and A-wing have all three turns.

I don't think there is room on the card for Corran for the obstructed bit to say "per(form a free target lock action, that ship)", though I had similar thoughts. I think he might be doing something that prevents himself from attacking, but it hardly seems useful to forgo your attack for any action. Edited March 5, 2014 by GiraffeandZebra

[Sabre 7 354]

Has anyone noticed that the in-package shot of the defender appears to be the grey color used on the tie fighter, while the reveal photos showed it to be interceptor blue?

[Jehan Menasis 1,562]

Corran Horn: At the start of the activation phase you may perform one attack. You cannot attack again this round.

That's my guess.

Ahh yes, my mistake, but no ship has all turn/banks at all speeds.
