Tractor beam defenders will be so gross, reduce agility by 1 if the beam hits then make the second attack.

What? Where did I miss that this is what the tractor beam does?

Two interesting and competitive(-looking) titles for two different play styles. Very cool!

In the immortal words of Pam Poovey...

Holy S#&%snacks!

I'll be in my bunk.

Yeah. The x7 title will be awesome for close-in knife fights, because it will get you there in one piece, and you'll have a focus and evade token on 4k turns.

Is this supposed to fix ordnance? Not really seeing it.

Good stuff for the TIE D & B though

Onyx, x7, Hull = 33 points, x3?

So... some kind of improved attack capability then.

They get EPT's. 19 point PS5 with an Elite talent slot, that's a pretty good generic.

I think the point is to give the Bombers something other than Ord, and fix some of the issues with the Defender.

No, I think Guidance Chip may be what you are looking for.

Didn't one of the bigger complaints stem from it being hard to havethe TL+Focus to make your shots useful? This definitely aids with that and is 0 pts. I'm cool with baby steps.

Think that other bomber pilot is Deathfire? The guy we all that Deathrain was going to be when the punisher was announced

That Toman Bren can use crackshot every turn!

We shall call this build "Crackhead" or "Crackpot" when around children.

Complain long enough and people fix things

Onyx, x7, Hull = 33 points, x3?

What? A focus/evade and no stealth device?

Have to wait for the faq on fcs and long range sensors to see which over rules the other. I assume sensors beats out fire control system

I'm cool either way. Stealth or Hull, it will be a durable squad.

Regardless, it looks like Maarek is taking over Vessery's spot my 2-Defender list. Rexler Brath might need to get an ion cannon like his card shows as well. That's going to be pretty mean. Against low AGI, the Ion Cannon linked will do equivalent damage to the HLC, but have control and be cheaper. Against high AGI, you're at least bleeding tokens. It will be brutal up close as you K-turn around an ioned ship, continuing to ion it while dumping in 4 dice close range primary shots. Higher close range damage than an HLC.

Long range sensors isn't faction specific this will impact Epic in a big way I think.

I wonder how will the Tantive IV stand up to a bomber squad with Jonus. Jonus would have to be a priority.

From the Rules reference... "If a card ability or mission effect uses the word “cannot,” that effect is absolute and cannot be overridden by other effects."

LRS says 'cannot' so that trumps everything else.

Long range sensors isn't faction specific this will impact Epic in a big way I think.

Still limited to attacking at range 1-3 and Epic ships can't take normal modifications.

Tie/x7 = free juke !!!!

I knew you would be so very happy about this. I adore the Tie/D title. Similar to the ideas kicked around on the forums but much more elegantly worded.

With Long Range Sensors, Jendon will never see the table again.

Also, a Bomber with an EPT will give them the non-Action mechanic re-roll they so desperately needed.

I meant bombers can Target Lock at a stand off distance then charge in staying in formation. 4 bombers with Target Locks, Focus and Jonus for the reroll should devastate any Huge Ship.

Guys!

Again...

Ps 8 tie bomber = infinite crackshot

Henceforth he shall be known as the drug dealer

I love that we get two copies of the new super-generics as well. I will probably end up buying 2 of these things... Four Defenders? Whatever.
