Here you go guys.

What do you think?

I'll have to read up on the VT-49.

But the Outrider is very cool. Shadows of the Empire memories come flooding back.

EDIT - Seems I just missed the boat on thread making there. Ah well.

Wow. Wow.

Wow.

But only two?

well when the Falcon and Slave1 come out, it was just 2 as they are big ships.

I suppose the article didn't say that these are the only ships in Wave 5.

No, the Falcon and the Slave 1 came out alongside the Interceptor and the A-wing.

I expect (hope?) there will be two small ships, as well.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES I wanted that imperial gunboat soooooooooooooooobad

I just noticed the YT-2400 comes stock with barrel roll!!!! Thats freaking awesome! Makes me feel alright about it only having 2 atk turret, especially since it seems the upgrade options are going to be excellent

I was only jealous of Rebels for the HWK really. But with this I am positively jealous. That's a sexy ship right there,

I never saw the Firespray as an equivalent to a Falcon, and now there is one.

I'm torn here. They're both cool looking.

But then I noticed 12 HULL 4 SHIELDS. Hahahaha that's crazy.

Ysanne Isard crew, my day has been made.

trying to see what "stay on target" upgrade card does.. it's buried in the yt-2400 cards.

Wow those are awesome!

4 shields & 12 Hull with a 3 attack 360 degree primary with Torps, Bombs and lots of crew will make that Imp gunship scary to face, even with a 0 agility. But then again with the top ship version costing 46 points it's going to eat up a huge portion of a list!

I love the look of the YT2400, and i'm going to bet it has a great dial. The outrider title is going to make some interesting decisions for running the ship. A 13 cost 360degree HLC is very tempting, and the standard barrel roll should help you stay at range 2. But it will be punishing if your opponent can maneuver right and stay stuck on you at range 1. The Ion Cannon may be a more standard pick for that.

Being new to all this and this being my first wave announcement....

1. Are we still waiting for 2 small base ships?

2. Agility 0? So no dice? You just take hits unless you've focussed or have evade?

I wonder if it's going to be something like a munitions failsafe for Target locks spent to re-roll dice. If you miss on your re-roll you keep the target lock?

Yeah, but with absolutely no agility dice you'll need all that health.

1. No. Wave 5 consists of two ships.

2. Yes. Focus is useless without dice. Evade tokens are hard to get.

1. Maybe. Up in the air at this point. I didn't see anything in the article that would push it one way or the other.

2. Yep, you'll only get evade dice from range bonuses. This makes the gunship a PRIME target for a corvette's single turbolaser in epic play and 2 x 0 is still 0. In normal play the most you'll get is 1 evade at range 3.

Sort of on one.

You get dodge dice still if your at range three and or got objects in the way between you and the enemy.

Odds are your ignoring every enemy but one on the table =p

For those with a sharp eye, the YT-2400 was already kind of spoiled by the Outmaneuver upgrade card.

HOLY CRAP, THOSE UPGRADES

I CAN'T EVEN

Mara Jade is nuts. Everyone at R1 will be stressed. Put her on that Gunboat and the 0 Agility is tempered a little.

What happens if you put Vader on the new Imp ship and you score three hit with a prox mine on say four ships? Do you only use his crit ability one time to change the hits to crits OR do you just instantly die?

The prox mine isn't an attack, so can't trigger Vader

The Vader (crew) I know does not change any hits to crits. And he has no interaction with bombs.

…so much wrong here.

(1) As noted, Proximity Mines aren't an attack and don't trigger Vader.

(2) Proximity Mines only hit one ship.

(3) Vader doesn't change hits to crits.

The decimator! *wipes a tear of joy from his eye"

I used to own one in Star Wars Galaxies (the MMO). So many fond memories of that ship...
