Gotta say surprising the StarViper's attack is so low, it does have 2x dual cannons

Possibly Xizors will be a higher attack like the ORS vs Han

Holy heck, the IG-2000 is going to be hard to kill. 8 health behind 3 agility with a boost to help him avoid arcs? Yikes.

No Kidding. I'm pretty sure that Outtanks the Firespray and Outrider.

Whooo, IG-2000 is going to be a beast to take down. That large base is going to require at least two ICTs to hit or a pulse missile to control it. Interestingly enough, it will still be affected by Flechette Torpedoes though.

Very interesting indeed.

You sure that's a 2 for the Star Viper? It seems like it should be higher, and the picture isn't too clear. But yeah, IG-2000 is going to be terrifying.

Yeah, I took screenshots of the StarViper slide and M3-A and flipped back and forth between them rapidly to try to catch any differences, so that was my first way of checking haha It also has the little indent for the lower half of the 2, just like hull on the card, so it looked right side-by-side. Much different from the three sandwiched between them

It's a bit less durable than 3 TIE fighters, and its attacks are about twice as effective (very approximate). How effective it is will depend on how often it can get its firing arc pointed at it's preferred target. It's hard to say how often that will be when we can't talk about its dial yet, but the lack of anything other than the regular firing arc will make it challenging, at least.

Considering how well people do with getting shots for their shuttles, I don't expect it to be TOO hard, especially with built-in barrel roll.

The IG-2000 has Boost, not Barrel Roll.

I'm also still not convinced that the StarViper doesn't have a 3 attack, but the picture is really hard to tell.

Ahh, don't know how I got that wrong. The attack number doesn't really look like the 3 next to it, at least to me.

You are a saint! It's painful to know new ships are coming but to know nothing about them. (I'm spoiled from FFG's articles …)

I expect the Virago to have pumped up stats anyway, so a 2-attack generic Star Viper doesn't bother me. That IG-2000 is going to be really tough to take down. The Interceptor is really interesting, it's like a TIE Fighter with target lock and a shield instead of a hull. I expect the dial to be pretty similar.

I doubt any Starviper has only 2 attack. Its got two twin heavy laser cannons.

I like the stat-line of the M3-A, if they are dirt cheap they could be awesome..

Any guesses as to the playing style of the new faction? Kinda like how Rebels is well-rounded ships with Shields and Imperials is swarm?

I'd prefer them to be of middling cost with a few tricks up their sleeve.

Guess we'll see.

The Z-95s are PS3! Does that mean that the cheapest generics are PS1 @ 11 points? That would be even more point efficient than the PS2 Bandit Squadron Pilot at 12 points.

The IG-2000 is indeed the tankiest shop so far, at 2.86x a standard TIE Fighter. Yeowch. The jousting value alone is worth 28 points at PS1.

I cant find where it's listed that the base starviper has that armament. Where is that information?

Psst. :ph34r:

Try looking at it.

Or googling it. :ph34r:

"The StarViper was equipped with dual laser cannons of medium destructive power" from Wookieepedia. Sounds like a 2 to me

I note the Y-wing plus two Z-wings....the text actually talks about Most Wanted - Slave 1 and HWK. (time 3:30) so did they show the wrong box and ships?

^ is what I found.

The Most Wanted pack comes with 1 Scum and Villainy Y-Wing and two S&V Z-95s as well as conversion cards and base cardboard tokens for the Firespray and HWK. No new models, at least that we know of yet

If all their small ships have an attack of two, no matter the dials, it would seem underwhelming. The picture seems iffy, it's an odd angle and a blurry picture. Maybe its a two maybe its a three, i think its too soon to tell.
