HWK-290 is awesome I think.

Yeah that thing is gonna be popular...

does it have shields?

Yah, 1 fore an aft. It's Sil 3, and 5 HPs. It's basically the ultimate heavy fighter. Skills and mods would drop its sil to 1. That's pretty awesome.

any weapons?

Innnnnteresting... your evasiveness is possibly more intriguing than any straight-up answer you might have given!

any weapons?

No, but it's got the 5 HPs so you could slap some sweet defensive upgrades on it and arm it to the teeth, for something that has a +1 Handling, a little armor(2), and 18 Hull/SS. It's listed as a freighter but honestly it's a super fighter imo.

Some great information. Thank you!

All right, so I was more wrong than right. The two races I guessed made it in, as did my stab-in-the-dark mentor idea. But I swung out on there being an Acolyte spec, the presence of non-Force users, and the core mechanic. (I'll admit, I'm disappointed they went with "Morality," but having not read the information first-hand I'll reserve judgment on the mechanic itself.)

The thing I'm most crushed by? It's not blue.

Isn't that the ship that Katarn used in DF/JK?

Also it is kinda off topic but does anyone have any info on the adversary decks? I've seen them and they look pretty handy.

I guessed the color wrong too. My PDF doesn't have a cover.....

Yes.

There is a video up on the Deck spec thread that's pretty sweet. They are announcing a buncha stuff tomorrow. Something for X-wing and my money is on The Ghost, and then two whole empty shelves, which really has me buggered as to what that could be.

Just read over the stats in Far Horizons - yeah, I concur. That's a pretty sweet ride, if you don't mind giving up some cargo room. 5 hard points too - very nice.

Morality is a set of positive (Strengths) and negative aspects (Weaknesses). You select a pair that your character struggles with, like Mercy/Apathy or Curiosity/Obsession. The struggle between them builds Conflict.

Wicked. I think I'm going to have to pick these up as soon as I can. They would be very helpful rather than having to flip through books.

Wish I could get a copy of the beta though. So far away XD

I was ambivalent about this mechanic at first. Now, I think I'm sold.

You're welcome. All smarty farty pirate shenanigans aside, I am nothing but thankful and blessed, as well as honored, that FFG and Sam picked me and my guys to be part of the play test crew. It was very positive and collaborative process I thought and just a great experience.

I'm sure we will all pick this beta apart over the next few months and make something really great even better by the CRB launch, and it was a blast to have been able to play such a core part in that. Good gaming to everyone, and get your Jedi on people...............

I like it better than Obligation or Duty. Morality has both carrot and stick to it. Just so you know, you turn Dark Side if morality dips to 30 or lower (and you can't be redeemed unless you can build it back up to 70+!). In addition to interacting with the Force Die results, being Dark Side changes how some Force Powers work, and it also permanently lowers your Strain Threshold.

Ok, yeah. Really sold on it now...

Any mechanics on building lightsabers?

would someone be willing to post some more specific info on saber crystals some of the types and what they do?

anything that seems extra cool when reading through them?

Krayt Dragon Pearl

Sets base to to 9/1 with Breach 1, Vicious 1, and Sunder. 3 Vicious Mods and a Damage Mod.

Thanks for all the information, everyone. For some reason, this is the most exciting thing I have read in this thread. I definitely want a Krayt Dragon Pearl for my Wookie Commando/Tactician with the sense power.

How would one do that optimally using F&D? Start with a F&D character and multi into Commando/Tactician later? Or start with one of those two and multi into FSE later on?

Not anymore than by taking a hilt, adding a crystal and then modding away.

I would now like to hear from everyone about how this game will play with others. I know they said all can be seperate or played together. I would like to offer all 3 books as options in my game when I have them. Is f&d going to break the others?

Sorry I don't feel like going through the whole topic but were there any new ships, perhaps Jedi Starfighters, Justice Cruisers, or Venators or just Stuff from EOE and AOR?

Delta 6 & 7 Jedi fighters.

There are two Jedi fighters. The one Kenobi uses in Episode II and a two-seated (but unarmed) version of the same.
