Epic 2.0 - Lawst Edition

This looks very interesting, keep it up ?

That was obviously a mistake, but I can't delete posts ^^ My internet connection broke down, but I didn't notice and clicked on "post" twice more, which the forums accepted in all three instances for some reason.

Im looking at running an Epic game during the Christmas holiday so I have looked thrue your impressive work. I will definately be using these rules. 

While reading your materiale, I have made some notes to give some feedback. Its only feedback from reading, so I have not tried them in a game.

In no particular order:

System phase

I think there is something to explore with Epic ships in the System Phase. I realise, that the Charge Mechanic is in relation to movement and how many you get to recover. I just feel, that all the "epic ship management stuff" have a natural place in the system phase. Maybe even have the Epic ships move in the system phase? But its just a feel.

 

Charge Tokens to Energy Tokens

I really think the existing Energy tokens look great and I miss them in your rules. I would just change the Charges to Energy tokens, and keep you existing Mechanic, so its just a token change. It will also keep the rules clean so you ensure no rules cross contamination between Epic ships and other "normal" ships. 

 

Immunity to "normal" ship abilities

It is unclear if "normal" ships can affect Epic ships. I think Epic ships should be 100% immune to abilities from "normal" ships. So no 4-Lom stress on an Epic ship og IN7 ship shooting from Roark ability.

 

Crew Thrawn

No actions for Thrawns ability seems steep. How about just one of the sections loose an action.

 

Locks

Are Locks tied to the locking section or can it be used on each section?

 

Fire control team

To empasise that blanks are bad, how about changing the ability to "...change one of your [eye] results to a [hit] result." or "...change all of your [eye] results to [hit] results."

 

Immunity to stress and tractor

Its good that the Epic ships are immune to Tracotor tokens.

I also think the EPic ships should be Immune to stress, but its hard to see how they should get them.

 

Ions

I like that is really tough to be hit by Ions.

 

Cheers 😄

Just wondering, does anyone know approximately when a huge ship conversion kit could be released?

No, nothing has been announced. But with the current release schedule of Wave 3 I do not see anything coming out for epic before June at the soonest. More likely is a spring announcement with a GenCon/fall release. However, Epic may not be a high priority for FFG right now. With 7 factions they have their hands full with balance and testing those and re-issueing old ships. It's a very crowded market and schedule for them right now, epic can't be too high on the list, sadly.

[Kelsier16 22]

That’s unfortunate. I prefer epic to standard rules, and I usually just do my entire collection going to war, upwards of 600-700 points per side. I’m getting into 100 (now 200) point games though. I’ll wait. Epic does add a whole new level to the game

[Kelsier16 22]

Back to the original topic though, the cards look great., excited to try those ideas out. 

[OtzenVridstoft 2]

I agree - Epic is a very interesting addition to the regular play - plus they they are awesome to use in missions/campaigns.

I like to work so far - though i have yet to test it all.

I do look forward to getting the Assault Carrier dial and Rebel Transport Ship (GR-75) - so i hope you guys find the time to make/finish these. But as this is a labour of love, i understand it takes time. I'll keep watching for updates!

[Kelsier16 22]

I will as well. Take as much time as it takes to make it great!

I really liked this version of epic 2.0 so I decided to make and post some cards for some 3d printed ships I have. Any comments welcome.

[JimbonX 213]

Nothing for transport? 😭

Will give this a try. 

[Malburet 22]

I should visit this sub forum more often. 

Congratulations for this amazing work.

Did you test it since this summer ? 

 

[Quack Shot 2,224]

Has anyone made a Corvus “expansion” for the Resistance/Rebellion?

[Gibbilo 248]

so is this the epic communities official 2.0 port? Was thinking of trying to get back into epic with some weird hybrid of 2.0 and 1.0. Is this the way to do it?

thanks for doing this 

 

[Morty Jhones 7]

I like what your doing and where your going the only critisam i have is that the skum ships all have the same abilities fore and aft, doubling up on a skill is great in thery but it goes against yuor stated idea of giving the epic ships more flaxability. Skumm and villany dosn't mean chaotic and stupid.

What are people currently using for points for the C-Roc? Looking to playtest this, it looks awesome!

[Croste 73]

Use the old points and just double it for 2.0.

[Michel Casteleyn 0]

Awesome work !

Any idea if or when FFG will publish this officially ?

Epic is to valuable to let go.

Salutations All-

Thank you for doing this!!  

[RedKnightRob 11]

Great job so far.  Looking forward to seeing what else you have for this project.  Love the Epic ships so far.  Any other ones you are adding or modifying the existing ones (like Scum and there same abilities)?

 

Thanks.

I very much like the changes since introduction on the forum. I still don't like the Tile layout. I like the idea of six main arcs, three fore and three aft better. I like the concept that all the epic ships would have the same break up of arcs but the shared Arc, while sensible, feels awkward to look at especially on the transport size. I'd post my envisioned diagram but my pic posting on the FFG forum is crud.
