Speculation - I am calling the Jumpmasters dial!

By Admiral Deathrain, in X-Wing

So the Pogostick, what do we know about it? It has an astromech slot, crew slot, can take a modification, a title to become a stupid 3 dice PWT, but it has an ability that strongly encourages you to keep your enemy in arc. We know the dial has a white 2 right Segnors Loop. So things to keep in mind are the Unhinged Astromech, K4 Security Droid, Outlaw Tech and that the ship also has barrel roll and the ability to take boost.

With that in mind I now predict:

  • No 5 speed manouvers. This one is obvious.
  • A red 4 k-turn, no other 4 speeds.
  • A white 3 forward, a white right bank. 3 speeds have to be pretty limited because of Unhinged, but I believe you can get away with the bank manouver here.
  • For two speeds I have two versions, my favourite would be: A red 2 left bank, a white 2 forward, a green 2 right bank, a green 2 right turn and the white right segnors loop we know about.
  • The other, more conservative, version is: A red 2 left turn, a white 2 left bank, a white 2 forward, a green 2 right bank, a white 2 right turn.
  • A white 1 left bank, a green 1 forward, a green 1 right bank and a white 1 turn. The 1 turn is really strong, but both Falcon and Outrider have that and they usually don't care for arc at all, so Dengar deserves this.

So what do you guys think? Too crippling, too strong? Right on spot? Entirely wrong, the whole "first ship with an asymmetric dial" thing being a hint at the dial actually being half moon shaped?

So the Pogostick, what do we know about it?

That I really dislike that nickname. :P.

Wouldn't it be great if it *only* had that white 2 s-sloop?

That'd be asymmetric, certainly.

That would be something, yes :D Let me banana around the deployment area all game!

I will guess that you have some moves correct, and some moves incorrect - for example, I think every ship has a forward 2.

I have the 2 forward on both versions for 2, but you are right, it usually is green, didn't think about that.

My guess:

5 speed - None

4 speed - white forward, red k-turn

3 speed - white left bank, white forward, white right bank

2 speed - red left s-loop, white left turn, white left bank, green forward, white right bank, white right turn, white right s-loop

1 speed - green left bank, green forward, green right bank

I think the asymmetry may only be on the s-loops, and it may possibly not even have a left s-loop at all. I could also see the 2 left turn being red, and the 2 right turn being green as a possible option.

If the asymmtry only concerns color I dearly hope there won't be any threes that change direction so Unhinged is not an autoinclude.

IF they give us more than 3 maneuvers with 3-speed

I'll paint it Batman.





That was for me a missed chance in the damage deck

Damaged Thruster

All < turns and banks become red

The not going straight comes close to that.

How evil would it be if they leave it unspoiled until release? :D

So the Pogostick, what do we know about it?

That I really dislike that nickname. :P.

Teh alternative is "The flying toilet-seat" :P

Yeah I'm still at a loss for words every time I look at the rocket disk. I just don't understand... But I needs me an update!

5 speed - None

4 speed - white forward

3 speed - white left bank, white forward, GREEN right bank

2 speed - red left s-loop, white left turn, GREEN left bank, green forward, GREEN right bank, white right turn, white right s-loop

1 speed - white left bank, green forward, white right bank, RED RIGHT TURN

My prediction changing from Jarval's post above.

The 2 speed banks are tough. I want to say there will be no green on the left side of the dial, but it is hard to think that FFG would leave no option on one side of the dial for dealing with stress.

The asymmetrical dial is probably why they released the new plastic dial covers.

I like the idea of making the right hard one existing, but red.

I do hope that FFG gets ballsy with how asymmetrical the dial really will be.

Pogostick better have two white one hards

If the ******* falcon can have it, then the far better designed (gameplaywise) jumpy should too

Leave asymmetry just to one white 2 segnors and a red in the other direction. Too much gimmick will spoil a good idea, and this thing's gotta be maneuverable to drop torps and Dengars on fools

At most, give it a 3 hard in one direction but not in the other

Edited by ficklegreendice

I think it'll be more extreme.

To the right... hard 1, hard 2, hard 3, sengor 2. (whites)

To the right (bank 1, bank 2 (green), bank 3 (white)

Straight, 2, 3 (green 2 & 3) 4 (white)

4K (red)

To the left (bank 1, bank 2, bank 3 (red)

I kinda feel like giving the YT's the one hards was a design error they probably will avoid in future?

(Or maybe Im just cheesed off the pancakes get it when so many snub fighters don't, like the advanced that doesnt even get a 1 forward either :/)

Ah yes, Dengar gets trolled again! Lol. Sorry Denny.

I think the design mistake was probably making it a white maneuver.

Speed 3:.............. Left bank, Straight, right bank, right turn, right T-Roll

Speed 2: Left turn, left bank, straight, right bank, right turn, right T-roll, Right S-loop

Speed 1: ..............Left bank, Straight, right bank, right turn, right T-roll

Rakaydos, I believe we can safely say there won't be any 3 speed flipping manouvers because of Unhinged Astromech. No green T-Rolls, please!

Dont worry, all you have to do is stay to the left of it! it's only left turn is red!

So...

Speed 3:.............. ............... Straight, right bank, right turn,

Speed 2: Left turn, left bank, straight, right bank, right turn, right T-roll, Right S-loop

Speed 1: ..............Left bank, Straight, right bank, right turn, right T-roll
