So why not just use both the **** things?

I mean we know there are some less horrible crits in the current deck, while it is clear the forthcoming deck is less forgiving.

I see using the nice deck for low skill pilots. Now for the high skill pilots... they get to draw from the less mean deck too, but their victims would have to draw from that new mean-ass-deck.

Dunno... just something to consider. Thematically it would would add more to the flavor of the game.

Maybe...

Yeah, yaeh meta... I am talking about at home; where most games get played.

Uh... I'm using both, I think

I think the old deck will still be used in my gaff for epic games. More points to spend usually means more upgrades to get nerfed by a critical. And we mostly play for skits and giggles, so it's quite entertaining.

New deck for grown up, serious games.

Uh-Oh... nobody responding... why you all gonna make me blow my ass ups?!

Uh... I'm using both, I think

You would change the probability of certain effects from showing up. And if use both decks why not just drop it down to well normal size by removing all direct hits from the deck?

I didnt see where the new deck was all that different? i mean nothing earth shattering? would have liked to see some fun hits like Jammed throttle you can only do max speed manuvers! or damaged latteral thruster you can only do turns! or or more specfic right turns only!!

Can't talk now Eggs... I'm on fire!!!

Sure now you guys shows ups... after the explosion!

There is that!

It's ok. I'm actually a fireman.

Cool... we are all good now.

The main thing is there are a lot fewer duds, which means critical hits will be more consistently debilitating- No more sarcastic, "Oh no, my Tie Fighter lost it's secondary weapon!" or, "Oh no, I can't use my blue squadron pilot's elite pilot talent!" or even, "Oh no, the Outrider's primary weapon value was decreased!"

Right on, right on. That is what I was all about, with using the new-mean-deck for elite pilots, and the old-nice-deck for rookies, and so forth.

For tournaments, I'll do whatever's required. For casual play, since I'll have extra copies of both, I'll probably shuffle one of each together and have fun with that (14 Direct Hits!).

We now have sub-factions.

We have also long had alternate damage decks for Epic ships.

Thus, why not just say the new damage deck must be used only with ships from the new TFA sub-factions?

That works too!

It's hard to verify 66 cards.

At home it is just fine, but yeah the tournies will be going with the new deck for sure.

Did I miss a spoiler somewhere? Someone fill me in!

That is what happens when you expect IMMEDIATE results in the morning and possibly based on spoiled information that is no longer easy to find.

The standard answer for why you don't use two damage decks is because once you start drawing cards from them you completely throw off the expectation of what is still left in the deck. When it you draw 1 of 2 cards in a deck the chances of drawing the other go down a lot but drawing 1 of 4 the odds don't go down nearly as much.

Now if you are referring to some potentially new damage deck which people have been begging for then I assume that the two will be unmixable although which one has to be used probably needs to be officially announced.

Hey, did somebody erase the last 5 pages of justified criticism...?

More likely, someone with a lawyer breathing down their neck erased five pages of things that can't legally be on this site, and some benign comments got caught in the crossfire.

Nope...
