Hmmm the Inquisitor's TIE looks similar to the one I made some time ago...

But one thing is strange: the Inquistior's TIE Advanced v1 is known to have armored solar panels (= more hull) and (in most sources) no shield...

PS: and Valor Rudor made it as the other unique pilot. Cool!

Can someone explain... why the Punishing One pack comes with 7 shields and the pilots all have only 4 shields?

Is this the first pack where you get more shields than what the base stats are?

Error or an upgrade that increases shields on huge (scum?) by 3??

Speculate!!

Also, assymetric dial on punishing one!

Oh. And Dengar... is a 9 (well I guess we now have a 'famous' scum pilot with a 9, but it still makes Boba sour...)

Of course Dengar is a 9. Corellians always get 9s. Wedge, Han, Soontir. It's in their genetics :D

I'm surprised no one has mentioned stygium particle accelerator can now be put on any small scum ship; palob can get a free evade every round.

25% of the time, stygium particle accelerator can now be put on any small scum ship for absolutely no reason other than a waste of 2 points when the chance to lose your device kicks in completely beyond your control

If you are planning on using the cloak adding SPA increases your durability. I am not saying you should put it on for no reason, but if you do put it on; SPA could be a decent investment you only need those evades to cover 1 or 2 damage for it to make back its points.

Ghost has FCS, something I cant see what the next icon is, then 2 torpedoes slots (uh .... ok total waste since torpedoes are USELESS atm) and 2 crew slots.

Remember, we need Torpedo slots for ...

K I'm gonna go get a pitchfork to complain about ordnance....

I gotta say, I'm more than a little disappointed that we have spoilers for two waves out at the same time.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy spoilers, but this is getting a little ridiculous. How long before the general conversation switches from excitement, to impatience, to every tired joke about why the boat is so slow?

That said, all this stuff looks awesome!

Jumpmaster has a WHITE S-LOOP I REPEAT WHITE S-LOOP

It appears to only be a 2 white signor loop

Based on the art I think those are torpedoes, and the shuttle can drop bombs. There is an Adv Proton Torpedoes card in the set, also.

You're right, I missed that. Like someone mentioned a few posts back, maybe Sabine adds a Bomb slot?

Either way, I just realized I'm going to need a bigger binder for all my cards...

pretty significant on a large base

especially on one in which even the generic can take epts, letting you s-loop into focus for deadeye into r4 + torpedo shenanigans or Dengar's ability

ITS ON THE BOAT?? WHERE IS THE BOAT?! WHY ARE THEY PADDLING???

...I'm still waiting for the Imperial Assault expansion that's been on the boat for three months...

Glad we're getting the Ghost, and most importantly of all...CHOPPER IS A PILOT!

Wondered if they'd manage to fit it in as a large-base, given its size, but they've managed it. And having it packed with the Phantom, and all special rules of the two ships, it's very thematic. Good job, FFG.

Actually, good job on the whole wave, and the Gozanti.You may resume draining my wallet of all money.
