Kinda resembles Juggler's fixes, no? -4 cost reduction but a system MUST be equipped (so it can't be used as a cheap ship.) Cheapest possible sensible TIE advanced? -2 cost, plus FCS.

Kinda resembles Juggler's fixes, no? Free Fire Control System, but actually free any system you want.

It's also been accused of not having enough firepower, and the most commonly suggested fix For ? +1 attack die. For one point more than its (overcosted) price, it gets an extra attack die. That has crits on all eight faces.

Designers dun good, and us as a community can say we (mostly) called it.

Got to say, one thing did catch me out. They were always going to have to release a new miniature, but I never guessed they'd just release the Advanced in ESBlue.

Four TIE Advanced is going to be a thing.

I think you misread the X1 card, I think it only reduces the cost of the sensor upgrade you pick. So you equip any sensor for free, barring the Adv. Targeting Computer. It doesn't read like you would then also reduce the cost of the pilot card beyond that.

But it's still pretty great, and I'm really very excited to dust off my Advanceds! Especially Vader and Maarek with the Adv. Targeting Comp, that will just feel fantastic.

This is correct, the cost of the equipped system upgrade is reduced by 4 to a minimum of 0. So the cost of the advanced doesn't get lower, but you get a free system upgrade (unless it costs more than 4 of course).

Right. Which is a neat way for them to address cost without the same thing as the A-Wing Refit. And of course the new Advanced Only sensor is 5 points, so you're just tacking on one point more. Not a bad way to do it, frankly.

I think Jendon just got a whole bunch of new squadmates, too.

Clever wording. This part made me laugh.

Im thinking Accuracy Corrector will be pretty good on the advanced... for free....

Vader + Determination + Accuracy Corrector + Stealth Device

Im thinking Accuracy Corrector will be pretty good on the advanced... for free....

LOVE it!

Vader - X1, Accuracy Corrector, PTL, Proton Rockets, Stealth Device.

Guaranteed 2 hits a turn, focus, evade, Barrel Roll every turn?

I was just thinking about what it's going to be like fielding a pair of PS2 Advanceds with Accuracy Correctors. Just, all barrel rolls and focus tokens all the time and they always ALWAYS hit as hard as possible. It's just insane. For 42 points? You have a TON of room left over.

Four TIE Advanced is going to be a thing.

EDIT: Did not look closely enough at the photo. Yes, four Advanced will definitely be a thing.

If you look at the picture, it comes with 4 each of these two cards, enough for any non-epic match. Way to go FFG.

This is what I love about FFG over their competitors in this market.

Power creep is kept in control and original wave stuff is still playable. If a ship falls out of the meta, they come up with a way (within the rules) to make it effective again. They don't rewrite the entire system, or any other crazy stuff. They rebalance that 1 item.

If something becomes too powerful in the meta, they release a solution to it the next round.

Don't forget that the value of Jendon ST-321 has jumped dramatically. Setting up one or two TIE-Ad before they get into range will allow some very big hits right away on your target of choice.

So you can take accuracy corrector for free for a guaranteed two hits, nice.

Yeah he and anyone with an Advanced Targeting Computer are solid wingmates now, and literally anyone with that AdvTC is gonna a be a real pal for Vessery.

Oh god the options. I need to sit down for a minute.

Vader + Predator, Engine Upgrade, Title, Adv. Targeting computer

Tempest Squadron + Title, Accuracy corrector

Tempest Squadron + Title, Accuracy corrector

Tempest Squadron + Title, Accuracy corrector

That looks fun as hell.

The way that card is worded Vader can't have the X1 title. He's flying and x1 already so he can't have it, it's "tie advanced only "

Doubt it, as it does mention vader using the upgrades in the article. It will need to be clarified though.

Advanced targeting computer is fairly better than accuracy corrector for Vader. Get a TL with one of your two actions, then:

If you roll ANYTHING that is not 2 blanks when having a focus, you get a better trade. Predator and have fun. Yay.

Just FYI, you can use Vader with title.

I think it might be OK because Vader is OK as is anyway, sort of maybe.

That's what I am thinking too...they will need to clarify this point....maybe vader has it already? I mean he is already flying an x1

Just FYI, you can use Vader with title.

I hate to be an a#£e but the way its worded no he can't.
