Stay On The Leader 5,431 Posted November 22, 2017 The design on Crosswing Formation is EXTREMELY interesting. I believe it's the first card in the game to reference a Faction (eg. Resistance, Imperial) and that opens up a ton of new design space in future. 17 JJ48, Stoneface, Magnus Grendel and 14 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should get the article soon; as that is FFG standard reply.

Should get the article soon; as that is FFG standard reply. I like it because I've been feeling like splitting the factions into Rebels/Resistance is needed to try and curb how much you can just cherry-pick and combo-build from the larger card pool. It's tough to reverse-engineer into the game but by softly shaping the game that way through upgrades... it's a good tool for the designer to have up their sleeve. 6 AngryAlbatross, Arttemis, SuperWookie and 3 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Biophysical 15,776 Posted November 22, 2017 It's weird that Rattled only seems to be used for Crimson Leader. 5 Volkren, Arttemis, Punning Pundit and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WAC47 1,796 Posted November 22, 2017 I'm going to assume that Resistance refers to any ships within the faction... given that "Rebel" applies to resistance ships. Advanced Optics is 2 points?? Poe has a nice new tech for sure. And the Sheathipede dial is not bad! 2 the1hodgy and BlodVargarna reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herowannabe 4,376 Posted November 22, 2017 Emon is going to like Ordnance silos- now he no longer has to choose between the Andrasta title for more bombs slots and Slave 1 title for Extra Munitions. Is there anything left to spoil from the Sheathipede shuttle? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gamblertuba 5,649 Posted November 22, 2017 Advanced Optics is surprisingly aggressively priced. I like it. Bombers look interesting but not abusive like Nym. $40 though... Ugh. 4 Arttemis, Wiredin, BVRCH and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although if Kylo kicks off the PS wars in earnest I think PS 11 R2-D2 Poe might become a thing, with Advanced Optics letting you increase his offensive output by taking target locks. What I meant to say is that the Sheathipede dial looks ready made to fly alongside ARC-170s, which is really what I was looking for. No need to k-turn if your ships all have rear arcs! 1 RStan reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They need to really clarify how this 'multiple factions but really the same faction' thing works explicitly. RAW, it seems that only the new movie ships work with it, but I think it's intended to work with the whole Rebel faction too. Who knows, maybe the rule sheet included clarifies this for sure. But for now, I think everyone will reasonably allow you to use it as intended. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dotswarlock 2,424 Posted November 22, 2017 So overall we have the following ships that can equip the trajectory simulator and the bomblet generator: - Scurrg - Punisher - The new Resistance bomber I will make a prediction: upon release, casual games will be filled with many, many random explosions accross the map. 6 KCDodger, ABXY, CaptainBrochette and 3 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gamblertuba 5,649 Posted November 22, 2017 Rebel faction includes Alliance and Resistance sub-factions. Resistance only is new. Alliance only would be the equivalent for OT ships. Now we need Old Man Luke and we could have some fun with FO vs Resistance only tourneys. 4 Arkanta974, Stay On The Leader, PanchoX1 and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Technically Rex (crew) should assign Suppressive Fire along with the Focus token after missing, but some moron deleted the text before the cards went to print and... Can't believe Advanced Optics ended up being 2 points. Holy crap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
