Thanks Tipperary. Can always count on you for cool threads like this.

There's a post in the Tractor Beam reduces agility thread that had a bothan spy apparently.

I wonder what Sys- Of- is going to be?

Third card in top fan is probably an Imperial only crew card called "Systems Officer".

So much for the "(and why it's classified)" part... lol... had me excited for a minute...

EDIT: Oh... wait a minute! There we go... new data encoding...

Saw that, will integrate (and crosscopy to the Wave 8 thread since it's apparently the same ref card in Mist Hunter.

Imperial-only crew, because TIE Shuttle.

I couldn't quite see what the letter after Sy* was, but I think you've nailed it.

I fiddled with the text in my card generator template and I'm convinced it's "Systems Officer", "Imperial only".

As I posed in another thread, the text is something like...

After you execute a

maneuver, each other

friendly ship at Range X

that... doesn't have

such-and-such may do

so-and-so.

Maybe, wingmates that do not have target locks may then perform free target lock actions.

Any other guesses?

Bothan spy? What post?

Is it just me or does the wording and spacing on the Maarek Stele card look exactly the same as on the tie advanced?

Precedent from the cross-ship pilots seen in the Ghost, and in another thread someone confirmed your observation. Almost guaranteed we get the same Maarek pilot ability, just in a new spaceframe.

I suppose the TIE Shuttle negates the need for the TIE Scout. Too bad, it's such a beautiful ship.

You can see most of the text in the card fan. During Combat, reduce agility by 1 for each Tractor token on the target. During End phase, remove all tractor tokens. Some more text after, hopefully with rules for maintaining tractor beams.

Yep, I hadn't gotten around to comparing the text yet.

Bets on "maintaining" actually being "stacking", if you can hit consistently with it turn after turn?

we know the wording to tie shuttle. Just can't type it from my phone

Tie shuttle.

You loose all bomb, middle torpedo upgrades.

You gain two crew upgrades.

You can't equip a crew that costs more than 4 points.

But with better verbage and templating.

It's actually kinda readable.

And Tomax is once per round, after discarding an ept upgrade card, flip that card face up.

EDIT: Ain't no Palp Mobile

Double Edit: Beaten to it

The last pilot says that when you discard a an ept, once per round you can flip it face up.

That seems like it could exist and would be very strong for ordnance lists.

The PS 5 TIE Defender should be Countess Iran Ryad, as she's mentioned specifically in the article. She's a TIE Defender pilot in Star Wars: Galaxies.

Ooh, good catch. On-card as "Countess Ryad"?

I'd think Countess Ryad would be the card, as she's mentioned that way. Makes sense to me.

I already typed up all the visible text on the Tractor Beam card in that other thread. I'd repost it here, but I'm on my phone.
