Silence broken! New post at last.

^Well I guess if a video game said it, it must be true. Seems like a waste to drop the walkers on Hoth like that when the Executor had such a cavernous docking bay it could have launched an Acclaimator or other similar ship and landed all the walkers in one trip. But Gozantis would have been smaller targets. I wonder why the old barges weren't used...

Also, I'm not sure, but have they shown any Imperial Acclaimator's yet? It is a Clone Wars ship after all.

Battlefront twilight company is not a video game. It's a novel and it's canon.

Uh, I wasn't questioning the canonicity of Battlefront, game or novel. Even Star Wars Commander on my phone is canon.

I would love to read all the new novels but ain't got no time and all my extra money's are going to this game. And I got burned out on Star Wars novels almost 20 years ago. The free to browse chapter of aftermath didn't inspire confidence either.

Aftermath was straight up trash. Most others were readable at worst.

I would recommend Tarkin. It gives this iconic character a really well put together biography that leads to him assuming command of the Death Star project, putting him into the position that we got to know him. Luceno does these villian biographies well. Darth Pleigueis was a good read, but ultimately suffered from it building up to episode 1. It made me enjoy that film not as a movie, but as Plagueis' and Sidious' plans coming together, but it still is episode 1. Tarkin builds up to episode 4 and that makes it a lot more statisfying in the end. It also is a good attempt at getting some logic into the transition from the prequel era into the Star Wars setting.

A new Dawn is alright I guess, but not all that interesting or consequential. It makes the mistake of pitting the heros against a villian that is obviously never mentioned anywhere else again and therefor doesn't feel like he is worth getting invested in and Hera and Kanan work a lot better on the show, but they still have some moments and Kanans life after order 66 is pretty interesting. Haven't read any other Disney era publications, yet, still wanting to catch up on some legends.

I'm excited by missile-toting Raiders. Probably almost always Homing, though Ion Torpedoes may well actually justify breaking lock to use, too.

That action economy, though, is a little rough. I shall have to treat it with due caution, even though the artwork on the card is so very very sweet. Man, I just wish we got to see more of it. :)

I'm a little surprised no one has mentioned the possibility of both stressing and ioning a ship in one round. Use Ion Pulse Missiles (which don't require spending the TL) to ion a (low hull) ship and then spend the lock to fire flechette torps to stress it.

Don't know how effective it would really be in epic, but lots of people talk about ways to both stress and ion a ship at the same time.

So, where's the upgrade that lets you spend energy to gain TLs?

And where's the Huge- ship-only range 5 missiles and torpedoes?

And where's the crews and teams that allow huge ships to actually use more than one action? They still can't use free actions per epic rules.

And where's my huge scum?!

I do think making it so that other ships can't give huge ships free actions is the best route for them to go. Add a clause to prevent boosts (to deal with Leebo (crew) and your set, and it would REALLY open up some design space for giving huge ships stuff to do. One of the corvettes is more than 100 points, you should really have a comparable amount of stuff to do flying one of those as flying a "standard" squad (note: I said "comparable", not "equal").

go on....

So are we gonna get Vizago's ship or Azzmoragin's ship next?

I figure we MUST be getting more Gozanti class ships because because of the wording on some of these upgrades. If we weren't getting more Goz's, FFG would have stated "Imperial Assault Carrier Only", IMO.

Well, whatever epic ship is next, it better be Scum.

**Sorry if this was already discussed.

Other than Gozanti is what is on the ship card? What is on the box isn't necessarily the class name. See the Millenium Falcon, Slave I, IG-2000, and Tantive IV packaging.

Actually, Docking Clamps highly suggests that the Gozanti is going to be Imperial only.

I've made something to hold us over until FFG makes an official epic scum expansion pack. Click the link in the sig.

Started this about three monhs ago.

So are we gonna get Vizago's ship or Azzmoragin's ship next?

Well, they're the same type of ship.

So I would imagine we'll get a C-ROC Gozanti expansion with Merchant One and Broken Horn title cards.

At this point, I think the C-ROC has passed the Action IV as the 2nd most likely Scum Epic after the Star Jewel.

NICE... I despises that damns action-vacum.

:lol:

I honestly now want a Gozanti so I can load it down with four Bombers, Ordnance Experts, and Ordnance Tubes.

Then proceed to unleash explosive hell.

K. that means the T-21 B is canon.

LUCY IS CANON! OK, I need to make one.

It's called "targeting coordinator" and has been out since the Tantive ;-)

Btw, has anyone noticed that automated protocols let's you both reinforce and recover in the same turn? Put it on a Tantive, target lock with fore section, automated protocols lets you reinforce, then recover with the aft section. This actually would make a true C&C Tantive viable by allowing it to essentially turtle when taking fire.
