Imperial Veterans Expansion
MAAREK STELE IN TIE DEFENDER AND TIE SHUTTLE?!?!
So, yes, you CAN put a fleet officer on Jonus and really kick an ordnance squad up to 11.
Ho-lee-****. TWO Defender Titles?
One for the prototype.
And one that gives us that linked Ion Cannon(or any other cheap cannon) that we wanted.
If Maarek's ability is still the same, then TIE/D + Mangler Cannon is gonna be ******* beast.
Tie shuttle title seems to remove the torpedo/missile slots and adds two crew slots, but you can't have a crew that costs more than 4 points.
Dammit. They killed it from being a cheap Emperor carrier...
I have to say though... I think that this is a killer pack for both the bomber, but much more so for the Defender. I don't know if I see anything there that would actually make me buy it.
If you are a defender or bomber fan, it's a no brainer, but I don't really consider myself either of those.
That said it's interested that it's Imperial Veterans... So we'll likely have a Rebel Veterans pack at some point. That means it went from Aces to Veterans, so the next pack will be Imperial/Rebels Normal-guys, followed up with Imperial/Rebels scrubs.
Like our dark lord would ever be shuttled around in one of those cheap crates.
Guys, anyone has the link to the news?
Or is it just "HEY LOOK WHAT I FOUND"?
There's no news article as this is an image attached to e-mails sent to retailers, just as the one for the colored stands and the dial upgrades and many things before those were.
Rebel Veterans will be what... E-Y? E-X? place your bets!
Weird, it looks like there's TWO different TIE Defender Titles.
There is...
I like the design on those. One lets you get a cheaper Defender, the other lets you get more bang out of a cannon upgrade.
Imperial Veterans is SWX52 ... while the highest SWX code before it is Punishing One at SWX42. That means there are NINE products planned between them! Seems like a lot.

X-Wing and something. I'd like to see the Y-Wing finally get a pilot with an elite talent, but the E-Wing I think needs more help then then Y does.
If the X-Wing was better performing, and not the game's namesake, and well one of the most popular ships ever... I'd guess a Y-Wing and E-Wing pack.
That means there are NINE products planned between them! Seems like a lot.
Those are already accounted for. The colored bases/pegs and the new dial covers.

Yes. 3 dial upgrade packs and 6 color base packs.
Is that other Bomber ace just "Deathrain" in a TIE Bomber?
Oh my lord, this has made me unreasonably excited.
What do you think the odds are of Maarek keeping the same ability, along with Deathrain? I don't have a magnifying glass with me.
Best guess on the new crew? I'm thinking "Systems Officer" that is a debuff on enemy ships, maybe not allowing them to use focus tokens when being targeted by a missile or torpedo.
Also, it looks like the countess that everyone kinda mentioned is the other Defender pilot.
Well you got me FFG. I wasn't planning to ever buy more than one of an Aces pack. But I'll be getting two of these.
Is that other Bomber ace just "Deathrain" in a TIE Bomber?
Possibly. Though he took a hit in the PS.
The Long Range Scanners is interesting...
I think the only way to read that is you can get a TL on a ship anywhere on the table, same as the ST-321 title.
Amazing.

Best part IMO, is there's 2 of each title, so 2 packs should be all you need, same with the Rebel Aces pack.

Lame. OK.

They have same abilities.

Maarek says:
Whe...
Damag...
dra...
1 to...
His old ability was:
Whe n your attack deals a faceup
Damag e card to the defender, instead
dra w 3 Damage cards, choose
1 to deal and discard the others.
It's the same ability.
The Mangler is also 4 points, so your Maarek combo won't work.
****! That means he sucks!
It was going to be such a beautiful combo!
Maarek's ability is useless without the Mangler, and the Mangler doesn't work with the Defender's awesome new Title! Wtf!
Is that other Bomber ace just "Deathrain" in a TIE Bomber?
Possibly. Though he took a hit in the PS.
Maybe its Deathfire, what we thought Deathrain was going to be
