The card next to Bodyguard, Looks like Calculate, or something? Has anyone seen it?
I'd be willing to be it is Calculated Risk.
It's a risk, but it's been calculated to mitigate the risk, so better chance of a high payload and lower chance of fail-sauce.
I haven´t seen it completely. It looks like it reads:
CALC... => 5th letter might be a U
When att... (attacking?)
spend a...
change...
results...
I'd guess it says when attacking spend a target lock to change all Crits and Blanks to focus.
IE you can spend your target lock and take teh chance of getting criticals, but you can omit the possibility of crits if you have a focus to get more hits.
I would doubt it's Calculated Risk. That's 15 characters, which should put it on two lines. For comparison, Autothrusters are 13 characters (and one word, so no real way to break it up onto two lines and still look good) and they take up the entire space. And Ion Torpedoes are 13 characters (but two words) and are on two lines.
As such, we're looking for either a one or two word card that's 11 or fewer characters. Calculator at 10 characters does fit the spacing, but I don't know if it fits the fluff.
Also, everything Cununculus said is correct.
Calculating, most likely.
I'd guess when attacking spend a focus token to convert all eyes and blanks to hits and suffer one damage
Calculus: you must find the integral of x(wing) over a period of y(wing). Then derive a&b till your opponents leave you alone.

I think that sounds pretty good.
Too long. After "results" there is at most one line of text. Looks like only enough room for "When attacking you may spend a symbol token to change all symbol and symbol results to symbol"
Perhaps it allows you to spend one shield token to change all eyeballs to hits.... wouldn't that be something new? Probably more suited to different style of ship but hey, I like it.
Would it be too crazy for it to be a Keyan-like ability for anyone with an EPT. Spend a stress to change all eyeballs to hits? I can't see FFG doing that but I am stumped as to what else it could be. Wouldn't be an evade token coming with a ship that cannot evade. Doesn't seem to be room for target lock in the text. Spend a shield token? Ha!
Oops sorry for multiple posts but just found it funny that Crabbok posted the same crazy idea slightly ahead of me. Was not trying to poke fun at you but laughing at what I thought was my own crazy idea. Can't see the spend a shield token idea showing up in a box with a one shield ship. Not sure how any of these ideas line up with calculating either.
Maybe spend a focus to change all hits to crits?

I'm going to guess that it is
When att... (attacking?) [you may]
spend a...[n evade token to]
change...[all focus]
results...[to hits]
Edit: probably not, no evade on the Starviper.
Edited by GiraffeandZebraI've tried calculating, calculate, calculated, calculator and calculations in the url. None of them worked

Could be it
Edited by AgentVI'd guess it says when attacking spend a target lock to change all Crits and Blanks to focus.

It seems to fit, and it also looks mind-blowing.
Can you imagine pairing this with a Heavy Laser Cannon or a Phantom?
If it requires a Target Lock to do so, I'll slap on a Fire Control System.
I'm going to guess that it is
When att... (attacking?) [you may]
spend a...[n evade token to]
change...[all focus]
results...[to hits]
Workable, but unlikely. They'd not send it with a ship that can't generate evades.
I think they may be saving it for another preview, either the Scyk or Iggy.

Yup. Unfortunately realized that about .0000005 seconds after I hit post lol. Took me longer to edit it than that though.
One thing's for sure; it's not Scum only.
Must be Calcium: When attacking, spend one focus token to make your bones stronger.
Maybe spend a focus to change all hits to crits?
Maarek would still probably suck but this would be a big help to him.
Also, everything Cununculus said is correct.
I always like it when people write that ![]()
Thanks! ![]()

Imagine Ten Nunb if that would be true...

Well... why not? They have moulded Wedge´s ability into a card. It is slightly different, granted, but I could see something like Keyan´s ability getting the same treatment.
Edited by CununculusI still think its a calculus card for all the math wingers out there.
I think we might be missing the obvious...
