Looks like a new (energy based?) 20 card damage deck. does anyone have a higher resolution pic of this? 3 Sithborg, Viceroy Bolda and PS10 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rakky Wistol 2,903 Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) After further review, no violence is neccasarry. The Gand Findsman can be employed to find who took this picture and pressure them for information instead. @realstarkiller- multiple posts recently saying they have new info that turns out to be months old. Thought a comment about a Gand Findsman would be enough to show humor...guess not. Edited December 21, 2013 by Rakky Wistol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Brown_Bomber 573 Posted December 21, 2013 Coordinate, reinforce and recover actions are possible. coordinate - grant free action to ship at range 1-2. recover - regain shields (not sure how many) reinforce - add an evade action to every attack made against this ship thats the gist anyways. 1 Viceroy Bolda reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sithborg 11,364 Posted December 21, 2013 Fascinating. Didn't they mention that the Transport had powerful communication systems? I think that was a hint at it's new upgrade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

InstantAequitas 678 Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) I saw the same thing in my news feed on FB. I dug around and found an internet copy of the story after I saw the GTM 2014 in one of the corners. Less up-side down but it lacks the picture that has the cards in it. http://www.gametrademagazine.com/Home/1/1/58/581 Edit: This is odd as it is the first real new news we have had on these in a while. In fact when I was looking for news about the huge ships this morning, FFG did not have anything on it other than the announcement from August. Seriously, if you look at upcoming or in products, it is not in development or being produced or being shipped. It simply does not exist aside from the original announcement and now this Game Trade Magazine article. Edited December 21, 2013 by InstantAequitas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheRealStarkiller 3,445 Posted December 21, 2013 Hehe ... its rebel only. No option to use the transport as an Imperial player, as far as I can see it. My Bombers are ready! Let them come with their transports! 1 Rakky Wistol reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DagobahDave 1,620 Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) Fascinating. Didn't they mention that the Transport had powerful communication systems? I think that was a hint at it's new upgrade.

redxavier 231 Posted December 22, 2013 They missed a much more appropriate opportunity to include pilots of both factions with the lambda shuttle, so I doubt they'll start now. (A special 'Tyderium Shuttle' pack has to be coming at some point.) Hoping that's a General Dodonna crew upgrade card, always liked him. I imagine being a capital, a fair few of these will be crew cards. The transport looks to have 5 upgrades and 3 look similarly blurred. I'm really pleased we're seeing 6 X-wing pilots - 4 new ones. Two have the EPT, and I'll predict that 1 of these is Janson and the other is a Rogue Squadron generic (far right, PS 4?). Biggs didn't get an EPT, so I don't see why Porkins should. Last pilot would be Hobbie, since he actually flew an escort X-wing in the movie (supposedly an included scenario). I'm actually quite excited about this one - can't wait! 2 The_Brown_Bomber and Viceroy Bolda reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheRealStarkiller 3,445 Posted December 22, 2013 Looks like the transport is one big support ship ... a Shield Projektor protect fighters ... free actions for ships in 1-2 range ... Com Jammers generate stress ... but no weapons so far. Are there laser turrets amongst the upgrade cards by any chance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ryan3740 10 Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) Yes, it is the latest game trader magazine. There is a two page article with not much new info. The ships have their own damage decks for front and aft, a well as three new actions. There are four new unique pilots - Jek, Jes, "Hobbie" and Tern?. That last one was hard to make out from the back picture. I know it looked like Tern. Edited December 22, 2013 by Magnus3740 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
