Kdubb 6,642 Posted September 29, 2015 I hope for disintegrations. Action: if you are within range 1 of an enemy ship equipped with a crew upgrade, roll 1 attack die. On a hit or crit, that upgrade is discarded. Then dicard this card. Imagine taking out vader, C3PO, or the Emperor early in the game... It sounds great, until you play a list with no crew cards... Also, strike one already today... sigh... 1 oneway reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taiowaa 239 Posted September 29, 2015 Looking at all the new stuff me and a friend are kind of dissapointed on what the empire gets compared to rebels and s&v. So we startet trolling around what the TAP might bring to the table. one of the outcomes was the possibility to have movements that currently do not exist on any given ship in the game: Green 1-turns! Any thoughts on this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heychadwick 11,360 Posted September 29, 2015 The V1 is going to bring a cheap missile ship to the Imperials. OK, not as cheap as a Z-95, but still not bad. I think it's going to be kind of like a Tie FO in terms of where it fits. It will be slightly better than a Tie Fighter for slightly more for the cost. I'm looking forward to the V1.

I'm looking forward to the V1. why would you waste the TAPs on missiles when you have Bombers? what TAPs'll do is Tie/v1 + juke and it'll be awesome or just fling the Inquisitor at people. He seems pretty amazing and then you have Omega Leader flying wingman with him, being a complete badass imps are looking just fine. Don't be jealous just because their toys are smaller (all it means is an easier time on your wallet!)

Any thoughts on this? Considering the Inquisitor is already looking to be reminiscent of Soontir Fel, I sure hope not. That would be absolutely bonkers.

ficklegreendice 34,362 Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) you could, but unfortunately we have yet to fix that fact that ordnance is largely crap even after WAve 8, we'll only but seeing it on pilots/ships that can overcome the TL, one-shot and action limitations (dat pogo ) Edited September 29, 2015 by ficklegreendice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good call! He's such a terrible pilot that his TAP exploded when he wasn't even in it. 1 GrimmyV reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Punning Pundit 4,746 Posted October 5, 2015 does anyone know if the V1 Title will allow Jendon to throw the TAP a TL giving them an evade in combat as well? The title says "acquire the token", not "perform the action", so yes. Unless there is something unprecedentedly strange going on, when Jendon passes a TL to a V1 Titled Adv, they should get that Evade token as well.

Forgottenlore 9,838 Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) The title says "acquire the token", The title doesn't say "aquire the token", it says aquire a target lock. Jendon does not cause someone to "aquire a target lock", he simply transfers the blue half of the lock from himself to a friend. It has been the case since the shuttle came out that Jendon doesn't trigger things that trigger on acquiring a target lock.

Rakaydos 4,236 Posted October 5, 2015 TAP V1 + Juke will be strong, but it will be inherently weak to Sensor jammer- sure, you're getting a TL+evade cancel, but you arnt going to have a focus to cancel the sensor jammer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Suriel 619 Posted October 5, 2015 Tie Defender doesn't have a system slot, TB being a cannon slot upgrade is not that bad. On the other hand, any "fix" to Defender that increases it's price is not a good fix. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DarthEnderX 5,286 Posted October 5, 2015 Tie Defender doesn't have a system slot It also doesn't have two Cannon slots. So it's not like you can give it the upgrades it's actually supposed to have either way. 1 Tsiegtiez reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
