So Lightning Reflexes appears to be an EPT that allows a one-time 180 degree turn after a white or green maneuver, and you also get a stress token. I'd guess it'll cost 2 points as it affects a larger selection of maneuvers than Adrenaline Rush. More importantly, I really want to combine the two, and the way to do that is A-Wings:

5x Green Squadron Pilot (19)

+ Chardaan Refit (-2)

+ A-Wing Test Pilot (0)

+ Lightning Reflexes (2)

+ Adrenaline Rush (1)

For 20 points each, you get a squadron full of unpredictable pilots who can K-turn, turn a hard 2 into a IG88-D-style S-loop, and then K-turn again. Good luck to your opponent guessing where they're going!

WEEEEEEEEEEE!

And then those A-wings will fail to do any damage

There's few things less satisfying than moving an Awing into a great angle and rolling two red dice to watch no hits.

I know. I love A-wings. They are my favorite ship in the entire game. Have always loved them. It is just sad that outmaneuver is necessary on them for being competitive with my playstyle (IMO).

I thought this was going to be a Mau5 droid being put on the Raider.
Which, by the way, needs to happen.

Sanje clean up on isle three!

I can see that being useful for a 4 shuttle build!!! because it is THE ship that could use a quick 180 degree turn!!

There are no shuttles that can take an Elite Talent. Yet.

Kagi ought to have, but Kagi + Expert Handling would be stupidly-good.

No EPT slot on the Shuttle

Edit - not enough ninjitsu to go around

Z-Rk5 ion engines - Lambda only - 6 points

This ship gains Boost and EPT WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

How in the world have you discerned what lightning reflexes does?

It looks like it says scum only. So no awing fun.

Muahahahaaaaaaaaa

(sorry for that)

However, it will be very interesting to see a Hwk-290 K-turn

yeah forgot about the no EPT. however to fly a shuttle swarm you have to use the cheap ones any way... Hmm however Kavel DOES have an EPT slot!! but his benefit is shooting ships out of arc!! so you don't really need it with him... the rebel Ys really need an EPT!!!!

It's small ship only.

Wow, thus could be an option

Like Adrenaline Rush, it's probably a one-time use though.

I dislike the idea of one-time use only elite talent upgrades.

Especially if it is more than 1 point. There are much better options for 2 points. Such as Calc, VI, or the initiative bid.

Additionally, this option is essentially a way of surprising your enemy one time only. The danger of using it is more useful than actually using it.

What can be made out on the card looks like

Either scum or small ship only.

After you...

Or green....

Dial you....

Card to....

180* the(n?)....

Token after....

Stress...

I think it actually triggers BEFORE you execute the maneuver and reads...

After you reveal a white

Or green maneuver on your

Dial you may discard this

Card to rotate your ship

180*. Then receive a stress

Token after the check pilot

Stress step.

If I am right about that wording, I want to put it on a defender and use it when I reveal a white k-turn to effectively move 4 backwards. That has got to be useful for SOMETHING.

May be scum only, may be small ship only. I don't think we can say for sure.

Based on the title "lightning reflexes" (which is just a guess), it sounds more like a faction neutral upgrade. But who knows.

On some other HD photos, It clear says scum only.

I just looked at all of them. So yep. Hwk-290 making K-turn like moves.

Nice

I agree.

However, I don't think the 180 will happen before you move.

Do you have a link? I can't find any clearer pictures than the ones in the article.
