You really only need one for the actual ordnance and one for extra munitions, then!

I was having a conversation with a friend about this earlier today. I think I'd like to see 2 Torpedo slots and a zero point title that acted as Extra Munitions.

That way you could either take 2 of 2 different types of Torpedoes, or pay 6 points for 3 Proton Torpedoes.

I'd like to see an ARC-170 only Torp upgrade that was a heavy damage weapon as well as incorporating an EM type of mechanic, perhaps with the tracking tokens that never get used from the Core Set.

Edit: don't mind me.

Scum's Y-wing.

HWKs also appeared in the Kanan comic so they're a thing again.

If they add the clone wars era factions in it is really tricky to place them which is why I am thinking more of an alliance wheel where you have a primary faction and then based on the total points of your list you can spend a certain number points one 1 adjacent faction (not both, and not from factions that are not adjacent.)

The trick is what to do with the scum, I had thought about moving them to the middle as a pure neutral faction that can be taken as allies by any faction but cannot take allies. But for now I just squeeze them between the resistance and CIS.

It would be better to either leave out new factions entirely, or put them in a totally separate game. You can make arguments however for e.g. The V-wing to be used by Scum, the ARC to be used by Rebels, the Eta to be used by Imps etc.

I wouldn't be surprised if we saw something like this, but I would be quite surprised to see prequel factions/sub-factions appear.

So, erm, yeah.

Funny, I could have sworn several very wise people told me catagorically that this absoultely wouldn't happen. Also that they'd stop playing if it did. That's a shame.

Doesn't look to have a rear arc does it?

Edit: it must do, there's a card for it. Must just be the blurry pic.

I gotta say I have a few "I told you so's" to hand out as well.

I didn't ever tell anyone (although I always thought they would).

Super excited either way. I really really really hope this is the first of many Prequels / Clone Wars era ships :-)

Yep, if the arrival of the ship itself weren't already awesome (and in the same month we saw the Liberty!) just the told-you-sos would be reward enough!

This thread didn't even have to get to 145 pages...

I'd love to see the shiny Naboo shuttles, but I'm not sure what role they'd play in a dogfight. I'm sure FFG could think of something if they wanted to, but I think fluff wise they'd be harder to explain away as not just being used in a dogfight, but in a rebellion ere dogfight.

More importanly, I fear FFG's painters coulnd't pull off chrome.

N1s thought, they're already canon in Rebel era.

I'm re-reading this thread now, gotta say....

So, what combo of crew and astromech will we be using? Weren't there some that were broken and will ruin the game?

R2 and C3PO seems evil, depending on the agility.

r3-a2 hera?

The horizon has just gotten dramatically wider hasn't it? Just think of all the cool exciting stuff that could easily be coming...

Right at the top of my list would be...

Clone Dropships (IMO they could fit in a Rebel Decimator role)

&

Triple packs of little Droid Starfighters - Roger Roger!

r3-a2 hera

r2d2/r5p9 c3po

sabine/bb8 (might have to double check "drop on dial reveal" triggers), please have a torp slot

r7/weapon's engineer

nien nub/bb8

r2-d2 crew/r5 astro (eh)

r5p9/recon (eh)

KK/r2 astro (eh)

I've tried enhancing the picture to see if I can make out the attack value, but I haven't managed anything very impressive. Looks like either a 3 or a 0 to me. 1, 6 and 3 are quite clear (pretty tough, especially with Threepio), and one of the upgrades on the top card is an EPT, which just leaves one a mystery.

Also, I wonder what this means for Armada

Agility 1 - perfect fit.

Firepower 2 that can be boosted to 3.

What a prescient poster

Bah, it didn't link copy properly.

Just attack 2. Hmm.

Edit: Ah, but with:

Just as several of us suggested! This is so awesome.
