They spoil the dial! Don't know why they didn't do this with the YT-2400.

They didn't spoil the generic pilot, unfortunately.

Ruthlessness and Tactical Jammer look awesome, IMO.

So, Wave 5 is at Gencon then...

Sweet mother... Dat dial!!!!

woah

That 'tactical jammer' has some...interesting possibilities.

So, Wave 5 is at Gencon then...!

Definitely

They mistakenly reference a 360 degree firing arc.

I feel very justified in my desire for two of these suckers.

Edit:

Also, this quote:

"After he executes a maneuver that causes his ship to overlap one or more enemy ships, each of those enemy ships he overlaps suffers one damage," and Captain Oicunn's pilot ability don't seem to really equal each other. Anyone else bothered by this?

Epic Dial, and Ysane Isard is amazing.

The only things not spoiled from the Decimator are the Patrol generic pilot and the Ion Torpedoes.

And yeah, with this double update day, it's almost certain we're going to see these at GenCon. I don't think I'm going to buy them, though ... I gotta save something to buy from my FLGSes.

Man a Ruthlessness Black Squad would be a lot of fun... too bad I'd have to buy a small armada...

Insert crazy idea that a cloakshape fighter is coming out next because of the card art.

Also Moff is the imperial chewie crew for half the cost since they only cancel the crit, don't get the shield back as well.

Sweet. Googly. Moogly.

So much awesome in one article.

finally, some vt noise

Several of my friends were speculating how a Decimator would survive without agility. Well the Ysane crew card and the PS6 pilot should keep it in the fight a lot longer than one might expect. Seems to be almost the Imperial equivalent to a YT-1300 with Falcon title and C3PO

Ruthlessness swarm anyone? Man Blount might be wishes he could switch sides.

On another note, where can I take out a small personal loan. ;)

Moff Jerjerrod is interesting, but he should be one point because it costs you one or more crew slots and he doesn't discard the damage. It works on any critical, unlike Determination, but Det. discards the result, can work more than once, and is only one point.

That there are some mighty nice crew options. Who would have thought that 3 crew slots would not be enough?

edit: Plus is that the first redless dial? No k-turn, but who cares when you have a turret.

what is that little ship on the intimidation card?

A hutt fighter from Star Wars Galaxies.

So, Wave 5 is at Gencon then...

lolwut

So there will be a third faction announced at GenCon!

lolwut x2

Oh wow. Sweet.

Intelligence agents will be spaced in mass

Not one red manoeuvre on the dial, some excellent cards yeah I'm happy and know we know how it gets evade tokens.

what is that little ship on the intimidation card?

Cloakshape fighter. Likely a tough fighter similar to the Y-Wing in wave 6 is my guess.

Moff Jerjerrod is interesting, but he should be one point because it costs you one or more crew slots and he doesn't discard the damage. It works on any critical, unlike Determination, but Det. discards the result, can work more than once, and is only one point.

The Moff is just executing all the crew, what gives?!

But, really, is each crit worth a point?

Anyway no point in arguing, it is what it is.

And I am STOKED for this pack! I love Ruthlessness, Tac Jammer, Intimidate, Ysanne Isard... So much awesome!

Oh ya

This thing with echo will be a beast
