So the IG-2000 has no spoilers as of yet. Fun thought, the new S-loop is supposed to be so crazy that only IG-88 was supposed to be able to do it. We then learned that the Starviper can do it but gets stressed. What if the IG-2000 can do it as a white maneuver? We already have a white K-turn and the IG-200 is a large base with only a front firing arc. Would this be waaaay OP? Reasonable considering the lore? What would it take to stress an assassin droid? The VT-49 has no red, another standard set? If there is no red then how much green would you expect on the dial? Just a thought exercise, have fun!

We knew that the StarViper had the S-loop and that Iggy's S-loop is red thanks to the pics in the announcement.

The dial could be all greens with the S-loops and K-Turns red?

I can see "stress" being "something with so many variables that it maxes the RAM".

As for a white S-Loop, I think that maneuver is too new to introduce interesting ways of breaking it.

Ahhh, well that's what I get for not looking closely at the release. So much for that fun.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was something S-Loop related on one of the IG pilots as a special ability. Ignore stress, perform a free action after, etc.

You mean like IG-88D's ability to use the turn templates instead of the bank templates?

And the title that lets grants the ability to each IG-2000 in your squad. I can't wait to try this one out.

I can't wait for an epic game with 4 IG-88s and titles.

There's always adrenaline rush

Unfortunately, I'm already factoring in FOUR IG's when they are available! Can't get stuck wanting to field all four at once and not have them! LOL!

Advanced Sensors isn't enough for you?

I dont think it will be possible to field all four IG-2000's at the same time due to they all cost 36 points without any upgrades....unless you have a friend that is willing to play two IG-2000's for team play.. but they might have changed the cost on all the ships they havent released any further spoilers on the ship...

Which is why they said "...in Epic...".

They did didnt they ...well there you go... with enough left over to throw in whatever with four IG-2000's

Run the Aggressor with Adrenaline Rush, Advanced Sensors, and Inertial Dampeners, with the one pilot thats been spoiled so far. Go where you want when you, and not get stressed when you need that clutch maneuver.

I thought the Dampeners make you do a White (Stop) and then take a stress? Adrenaline Rush wouldn't do anything with that, unfortunately. Still great for a white SLoop in a pinch though!

I'd like a non IG88 Trilon Aggressor, it's also worth pointing out that stress could be an effect of direct stress on the ship itself.

My guess is we will see a preview next week or the week after. Definitely before the end of Jan. though.

I have a feeling the IG-2000 will shake up the Meta the most of the wave 6 ships. At least I hope so.

expect a preview either this coming Monday, Jan 12, or when the shipping announcement drops.

Whatever is shown in the preview, I am definitely getting one!

Me too. It's a solid ship on its stats alone, but I anticipate that the pilot abilities will generate an impact akin to Phantoms in wave 4.

Yeah, I suspect you are hoping for a little too much. A large base ship that has to dogfight will have a few troubles.

True, but SableGryphon did a great piece a while back showing that since the Aggressor(IG88D) can do a Hard 3 Kturn pretty much, that many opponents might decide to K-turn in a joust to at least have a shot. Dampener opens that up, letting you hit the "Space E-Break" as it were. Best of all, you can decide right before you reveal your dial, so you can do either the soft or hard 3 S-Loop, or a 0. And with sensors you can BR or Boost before any of those. Also remember that the aggressor does the "total wtf" Large base barrel roll, clearing a range band in side movement and/or a full small base forwards and backwards. Its amazingly flexible imo.
