It's slightly annoying that they made an almost Assault Missiles card (same intent of effect) with about three times the text and way more different mechanics.

Bingo bango!

Yah... Oh Snap!

sadly it's a bit more complicated since it happens after the effect resolves

might honestly be too clunky and end up ******* the card over unless you can concetrate fire

[Arkanta974 842]

The true question : How many I will buy when this box coming ?

Right, it's the same broad game effect, "punish ships close together".  It's just way more clunky.

CAN YOU JUST LIKE STUFF... EVAH?!

Harpooned is crazy. Captain Jostero is crazy. 4 dice no spend missile for 4 points. What the what.

And it's almost cute how ffg still want graz to happen. He's not going to happen.

[Vineheart01 6,403]

That missile is good enough to use without the condition...what the? lol. I fully expected that to be a pitiful attack, cheaply costed, but applied that harpooned card.

Also, Captain Jostero, i see some trolllolololol tactics with him lol. BMST to action-damage something after he's already tokened up (higher than 4 isnt that hard) and bam he immediately attacks them, ideally before they have activated.

I do like this guy with Ramon.  Snag someone with a Connor Net and then fire away with Jostero.

I love the SCURRG

and Thweek

Captain whatshisface seems neato because he works with bombs

doesn't mean I have to like everything, especially when it's pretty dang clunky

Harpooned always does the target an extra damage, just to note.

Jostero will go amazingly with Nym or with action bombers.

He's also hilarious with opposing feedback arrays. And friendly ones. AND dace!!!

I think I need two, as I own already two star vipers. ;-)

Still him as you need twice the amount of ace packs while most likely still not flying 4 star vipers outside of epic?

[Stay On The Leader 5,431]

Paging Lt. Blount...

[Vineheart01 6,403]

Unless you wanna run more than 2 kfighters (why...) im not seeing a reason to get multiples of this box.

Theres 2 of everything unique to this box (and 2 PRS which is in the CROC only atm). Starvipers and Kfighters are still rather expensive if you are using the named variations, there might be some triple viper or kfighter combo that works but i highly doubt it works well enough to justify bumping Fenn off that third ship slot

Also, pretty apparent they don't actually read the forums, or else they'd never be recommending to new players to go check them out

Quote

We also got a glimpse of how the Vaksai Title lends new customization options to the Kihraxz fighter, and fans in our community forums responded with a field day's worth of theorycrafting new ship and squadron builds. Accordingly, we'll continue this theorycrafting in today's article, even as we look at more of the new Kihraxz fighter pilots and upgrades.

Also, agreed. 

Harpoon is just a super complicated Assault Missile, in effect, and if it is viable will just totally replace Assault Missile.

Jostero seems pretty dumb.  Did Scum need a mini-Dengar?  Have we not yet learned that letting a 3-Die  ship attack twice per round under certain conditions leads to problems...?

[ficklegreendice 34,362]

eh, Jostero isn't a ps 9 jump with a self sufficient, universal condition (just get shot at while attacker is in arc) though

he's very conditional ps 4 Vaksai that can't reliably trigger his own ability
