Almost as good as the white 4k on the defender but a much higher pilot skill for the same price as a PS1 defender

with the stipulation youre not stressed

Talon roll + boost is what many of us have dreamd of

look at the art in my post using echo locator, click the t-70 talon roll and watch the fun bloom!

Looking at it, it looks as if he can virtually do a 2- template barrel roll... but be turned around. That's not too shabby!

I love the name being a nod to Abrams most famous TV show.

Love the ability too.

...

How did I miss that. Mind. Blown.

Don't feel bad. I only just figured it out and it's been a known name for months.

After reading the theories, I think it's more likely that he's a reference to the Beastie Boys album, "Hello Nasty."

Drop the first two letters, and boom. Plus, it's the album that features the song, "Intergalactic."

As for the ship itself: he looks fun. I think he's going to end up in the same pile with Blue Ace of "Fun ships that won't get flown much because there's another guy who's better at offense." As far as EPT synergies go, Outmaneuver seems like a good fit. Or give him the BB8-PTL combo.

For those not able to see:

PS7, when not stressed treat T-Rolls as white.

30 points, EPT, Torp, Astro, Tech

I'm going to run this guy with Lightning Reflexes so I can turn around and then turn around again.

Which brings us one step closer to Death Blossom being a reality.

All the drifts.

all of them.

I feel the T-70 still has the edge over the defender.

It's a close call though.

I'll take the challenge!

...and so shall I ... for DAT GLORIES!

Fairly sure i'd get a warning point for each letter.

which is why I said almost as good as a white 4k

honestly, not even close to impressed

for 1 point, Poe kicks his ass

cute gimmick, but it doesn't even work with the overpriced TA (which is incredibly baffling why they put it and Cool Hands in the same pack)

honestly thought he'd have Bren's ability for maximum synergy (and for actually being a contender for use over poe)

oh well, at least we get to do this:

You're never happy, are you?

BB-8 & VI makes this a very good arc-dodger and anti-ace. It's got to be one of the most maneuverable Rebel pilots available.

I've been repeatedly praising

1.) the Ghost expansion

2.) The Tie/FO expansion

3.) Imperial Veterans (except tractor beams because we haven't seen the full rules for it yet)

4.) Wave 7 in general (best wave evar...so far)

so no, I'm often quite happy. The fact that the T-70 expac fails to impress me does not change that.

Anyways, maybe... Outmaneuver? T-Roll+Boost is going to give him a lot of positioning fun, shouldn't be too hard to catch people out of their arc with him.

R2 Astromech+PTL isn't a shabby idea either: R2 adds a pretty hefty chunk of greens to the T-70's dial, and being able to T-Roll and PTL sounds delightful, not to mention just being able to PTL regularly otherwise. Of course, Predator would also open up to T-Roll n' Boost and still have dice modifications. VI gets him to a hefty PS9, but his ability doesn't take a huge amount of advantage of that... Lightning Reflexes is amusing, but I'm not sure how practical it'd be (beyond being an OK one-shot, 1pt EPT)... I wonder how this works with Stay on Target? Can he rotate to a T-Roll turning it red, but then treat it as white due to his ability? Probably not, but if so that could be highly entertaining.

Daredevil: Daredevil could result in some hilarious maneuvering and the T-70's got the boost to protect him.

Expose, however.... hahaha, just kidding, never ******* use Expose.

BB-8 & VI makes this a very good arc-dodger and anti-ace. It's got to be one of the most maneuverable Rebel pilots available.

Or even Expert Handling/Daredevil for the extra options. I could even see myself finding a use for R5-X3 (the one-shot to ignore obstacles for a round)... though not sure whether he works with Integrated Astromech - can you discard a card twice?

Now we needto see:

Jessika Pava

Snap Wexley

Nien Numb (or possibly another sullustan)

As T-70 pilots.

This. We have a chance to introduce Greg "King of the Dadbod" Grunberg into the game. We need to do this.

Now I just want someone who can powerslide repeatedly for some good ol' drift racing.

Also an intersting combination with "Lightning reflexes"

I'm just disappointed that we now will have 2 separate packs for this game featuring a T-70 X-Wing, yet still no Black and Orange X-Wing (Naturally you can repaint them, but that's not the point). Will Poe's X-Wing be some special type? Like a T-71? Warranting a new expansion?

-> Rebel Veterans

No different than the original Core and expansions: the X-wings and TIE Fighters in those all looked the same.

More likely the T-70 Black n' Orange gets packaged later on as a second ship riding shotgun with a Huge ship, or as part of a Resistance Aces pack or some such.

I would be easy more excited for Advanced Sensor Boost, then taking roll. Looking at the echolocation play a 2-white+Boost gets you basically the same thing on the out side, so really all I gain out of his ability is four positions in the end, and if I'm blocked the whole plan goes to Sarlaac Stomach.

Now from the action economy side of things, snap rolling into an action at all had me very interested.

Have to leave room for an aces or veteran pack someday. I also reserve judgement on what we do or do not need till I see the flick, it does look awesome but I've been fooled before.He could be raised by Gungans for all we know, Dances with Saber.

I prefer not to have too many differently colored ships. If there are too many, then they are not specfic or interesting anymore. It is the best to have just one differently colored ship per type at most (or slightly different like carnor jax).
