Is there a list? I keep seeing things like EU and PTL fly around. I actually know what PTL is! EU? Engine Upgrade, now that I think about it... Is there a list? It's rough for a new guy.

EU can also be expanded universe depending on context

HSF. Han shoots first

ORS. Outer rim smuggler

Ors. Jan Ors the pilot

Most of the generic pilots get abbreviated, so if you see an abbreviation you don't know, run through the pilots first to see if any of them fit.

Haven't seen one. New to this myself. EU stands for Extended Universe. What that include and not I'm not sure. Just know that OT=original trilogy is not part of it. But what does PTL mean?

A stickied thread of this would be a nice resource

What is the Han Shoots First build?

EU= European Union....

Han Shoots First:

Han Solo w/ Gunner and various other upgrades

Two small-base ships, usually X-Wings or B-Wings

Haven't seen one. New to this myself. EU stands for Extended Universe. What that include and not I'm not sure. Just know that OT=original trilogy is not part of it. But what does PTL mean?

Push The Limit. It's an Elite Pilot Talent card.

What is the Han Shoots First build?

Usually a three ship build with Han Solo + Gunner + Marksmanship. Sometimes there is a change up on the crew member and the EPT or Elite Pilot Trait but that is basicly all a HSF list is.

What makes the build so good is you usually have to kill Han real early because you will lose a ship a round to him.

Incredible what a google search will give you:

EU = expanded universe or engine upgrade

SD = stealth device

ACD = Advanced Cloaking Device

Alabaster Hippo = Lambda Shuttle

Ibby = Ibtisam

F/TL: Focus target lock.

ASC = Alabaster Space Cow, a large white, 3-winged Imperial transport often mistaken for a fighter.

A stickied thread of this would be a nice resource

i second this notion

half the time i'm still second guessing myself what each acronym stands for and i'm a veteran since wave 1

HLC = heavy laser cannon.

APT = advance proton torpedoes

B*****D = Soontir Fel with PTL & SD.

Technically, only ORS and IBBY are acronyms.

EU is also short for Engine Upgrade. PTL is short for Push The Limits, which is an EPT- or, Elite Pilot Trait/Talent

"Put an EU on Ibtisam with PTL as her EPT and you can get a highly maneuverable and efficient fighter." or "The Lambda would greatly benefit from the EU."

In the context of EU meaning Extended Universe, the acronym is often found in the discussion of ships found in video games or non-film appearances, such as the Wave 4 and 5 ships, the HWK-290 and ships people wish to see in future waves.

"I'm really excited that FFG is willing to dig into the EU for more ships. I loved [insert 90s SW game here] and can't wait to use them on the tabletop!"

Most of the time, it's just the first letter of each word of the upgrade:

VI: Veteran Instinct

DtF: Draw their Fire

PtL: Push the Limit

EU: Engine Upgrade

SD: Stealth Device

ACD: Advanced Cloaking Device

etc.....

We're just lazy like that....

Acronyms save time

OGP, AS, EU, Tact & OSP, IC x2

Here is a quick and dirty list for acronyms, but only from this game

HSF - Han Shot first

HLC - Heavy Laser Cannon

EPT - Elite Pilot Talent

EU - Engine Upgrade

APL - Anti Pursuit Lasers

AP - Acadamy Pilot

BSP - Black Squadron Pilot

PtL - Push the Limit

ORS - Outer Rim Smugler

BH - Bounty Hunter

SD - Stealth Device

VI - Vetran Instincts

There are more but that is all that I could come up with quickly.
