WarTurtle 139 Posted January 21, 2015 Tie/AD PS 5 w/ EPT - 24 SP Thoughts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShakeZoola72 979 Posted January 21, 2015 Keep hoping? EPT generics have only ever been on 2 ships that are universally believed to house many of the.best pilots for their factions...the defender should get this kind of treatment before the adv. They houses the absolute best the empire had to offer and would gain more from the upgrade. 1 LeoHowler reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PewPewPew 1,083 Posted January 21, 2015 That's not really true. Green squadron, saber squadron, black squadron, and the new base scum firespray have elite talent slots. It's more common than you think. Also, there are so much cooler names than maelstorm (which is a little too close to storm, imho). Typhoon, squall, wasn't Eta the default for tie advanced squadrons in tie fighter? (I have given up on a tie avenger) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIE Pilot 3,501 Posted January 21, 2015 That's not really true. Green squadron, saber squadron, black squadron, and the new base scum firespray have elite talent slots. It's more common than you think. The Interceptor has an elite generic because it mirrors the TIE fighter, the TIE fighter has an elite generic because it's got three and having them go 1 3 5 would be pretty dull, Green Squadron has an EPT probably partly as an experiment but mostly because it needs more going for it than +2PS, the Scum Firespray has an elite generic to further differentiate itself from the Imperial Firespray. But yeah, I think the X-wing and the TIE defender are in line for elite generics first. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forgottenlore 9,823 Posted January 21, 2015 I like the name, and I'm all for having a ships upper end generic have an EPT, but we already know that there isn't a new generic in the raider box and we are unlikely to see another advanced release for quite some time.

Levi Porphyrogenitus 877 Posted January 21, 2015 I'd down with this. I'd say make it like the RGP, a relatively high-PS generic with an EPT. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WarTurtle 139 Posted January 22, 2015 It's confirmed that there is no new Generic in the Raider? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forgottenlore 9,823 Posted January 22, 2015 It's confirmed that there is no new Generic in the Raider? The article says 4 new named pilots and if you look at the card spread you can identify the remaining 2 as storm and tempest pilots based on the artwork and the visible PS 2 and 4.
