While yet another PWT with 3 dice is a bitter, unnecessary dissapointment

Are you really surprised that the S&V got a 3 dice PWT? When the VT-49 came out, it was pretty much a given that S&V would get one at some point.

Yv666 was enough for me :(

A PWT in and of itself isn't irredeemable. Both the 2400 and the k can't crutch on it because of a measly 2 dice

Sadly this is a 3 dice PWT due to title. Hopefully, it'll have reason to care about arc (dengar, new AT ship)

No telling what the other pilot costs are but Dengar plus the title is 45 points before any other upgrades. That's the same point cost as Dash with Mangler and Outrider.

So did anyone else notice that tractor beam is a cannon slot and NOT scum required?

Same cost as han/Cheri (well 1 cheaper)

Cause god alone knows we needed more of those

Lack of defensive tech (lack of amounts of health too) gives me pause before declaring fat season to be on though.

So far scum crew and aggromechs are all offensive upgrades. If they stay that way, at least we won't have to suffer fat han 3.0

Oh almost forgot

Does the inquisitors ability mean I can range 3 procket?

no it specifies primary only.

I noticed that they didn't post the rules card for Tractor Beam effects.

It's only 2 dice, 3 for 12 points more :P

Looks like all Jumpmaster pilots get EPTs as well. I'm guessing this ship is going to more closely resemble Dash than Han or Cheerio.

Yes which makes it on par for the cost of other 3 point PWT.

Dengard be a shoo in for fat pwthood if he had the defensive tech. So farbthough, I find only predator + stim to be auto include (DAT ability holy ****)

Oh almost forgot

That'd be a little much, yea?

Just making sure :P

Would put sprockets on him regardless unless the dial sucks. He'll be an uber Farrel for the same cost with (25 + ptl + prockets + thrusters then add the tie/v1 for 1 point and action economy), only "weakness" being PS 8 and less powerful repositioning

I can get

"a ship with at least one Tractor beam token follows special rules during _____ phase"

Am I seeing a Boba Fett crew card?

Just to the left of the Dengar crew on the Jumpmaster

Plus, it looks like only one Salvaged Astromech is coming on the Jumpmaster, so still a little limited there for Scum.

Confirmed on the Boba Fett crew. Same art aa the original version of Boba in the LCG and the card starts with Bob...

Looks like the Ghost has a Thermal Detonator upgrade card

I was close.


Dengar

Crew. Scum Only. 5 points.

When attacking or defending against an enemy in your firing arc which you have a Target Lock on , you may roll 1 additional die.

Bounty Hunter's Guild

EPT. Scum Only. 3 Points.

At the beginning of the game before the "Set Dials" step, you may acquire a Target Lock on an enemy ship. When attacking a Target Locked ship, you may reroll attack dice without discarding your blue target lock token.You may not use the Target Lock action or acquire a new Target Lock if you already posses a blue target lock token.

Like the new Tie. With boost and reasonable cost. With the ps8 pilot having attack 3 at all ranges!

:D

....wait

Oh no! They did the SW Rebels stuff ... I guess I'm out at this point ...

Ghost pilot cant see the name

"when you reveal a green or red maneuver you may ____ your dial to another maneuver of the same ______"

Tell the guys who left because of s&v how much fun we're having

To me Wave 8 seems a lot more interesting than Wave 7 (maybe im just not that much into bombers).

We're getting a lot more stuff that also isn't nearly as obscure

Also this is fresh. Wave 7's completly spoiled.

Wave 8 is interesting but I think we have yet to see what the k and punisher will bring

To me Wave 8 seems a lot more interesting than Wave 7 (maybe im just not that much into bombers).

Agreed. I'm excited about wave 7, but it has like 2 new mechanics. 8 has like 10.

It's not just you. Only ship that interests me in 7 is the Hound's Tooth.

This stuff looks really good and I like the way they added a lot of extra hate against 2-ship lists.
