Punishing One Preview!

I also thought that Rage was good, but then it's a 1pt weaker PtL. Two stress instead of one, with 99% of a TL. Tycho could use it in addition to PtL to boost + focus + 3 rerolls on whatever target, but otherwise, it's not that good on single attack ships.

The key wording here is "Until the end of the round, when attacking... " which seems like it would make it a lot better on ships that attack multiple times: TLTs, Gunner ships, Defenders(?! although there's vessery for that same effect)

Youngster swarm could work well, but then you need Epsilon Leader as well, and as soon as either of those ships dies, it's kinda over.

4 LOM will like it. Not for every turn, to be sure, but when he lands at R1 of a target, he can Rage, blast them, toss them a stress, then do a green to clear the other.

Seems like a good way to spend a point on him.

Wait, did they not spoil over....agr....? It comes with 2 copies

Welcome to the Crew of my Bossk YV-666. The galley is over there, we have free warm chocolate chip cookies..

I still think the title is about 2 points overcosted. IMHO it should be 10 points because right now I don't think that title will be used that competitively. It just makes the ship cost a bit to much.

Nah, it is gold with Dengar or Tel.

I just gotta find a way to get those guidance chimps!

They never spoil everything.

GONK! :angry:

you traitorous, good-for-nothing...*mumble mumble*

I was really looking forward for an empire-usable droid.. :(

One thing I'm confused by is the article talking about comboing R5-P8 & Boba. Boba is activated by a faceup damage, but R5-P8 assigns a 'damage'. Does that mean a crit, or what?

Made us wait a month and they still eff up

Remember that not every ship has Target Lock, so the re-rolls are better than PTL for offense on that sort of ship. I don't know that it will be good, but for 22 points, you could get a Saber Squadron Pilot with Rage, and offense way out of proportion for its points.

Will this put a real damper on palpatine Decimators?

Anyone else think the Mindlink is borderline unusable on certain sorts of ships? I hope you never need to K-turn in formation...

The mere existence of a stress bot scares me away from it :P

I think it's a clever way to keep the card from becoming an auto-include or spammed out in large numbers. It seems like the kind of card which will reward practice and planning.

Definitely will. Boba Crew is a strong counter to any ship with lots of hull that likes to take a lot of upgrades.

Good observation. It'll find it's place, though. It's lack of omniversatility is why it's so cheap. Imagine a match up against Tactician or Stressbot. One stress becomes many.

Only the first stress from the stressbot will get pushed out, and only to ships that don't already have a stress.

stressbot cackles like a maniac ;)

That is a sexy, sexy, droid that makes fragile aces cry.

Nah, it is gold with Dengar or Tel.

Tel is a phenominal ship because she is durable and effectively becomes at least a 12hull ship with a hull upgrade making her a great value at 33 points (plus whatever ept). Still a good ship but not so much a great value at 45 (plus ept). Which again makes he a nearly 50pt ship but at least she is much more durable then dengar and has the possibility to live long enough to make her points back.

Tycho with Rage, PTL, Experimental Interface? Focus, Evade, Boost, 3 attack rerolls and 4 stress a turn. That sounds hillarious.

Shhh. I'm looking forward to flying a bunch of tansarii vets off the map at store champs next month.

Hey Punishing One. Paragoomba Slayer just called. He wants his ace hate back.

**** just realized that the deadeye r4 PS 3 plasma boat is 33 points

I need to buy three of these things, don't I :(? (Plus a hunter for 4lom)

"Alright, I'll do a 5 k-turn with him, and with him I'll-"

"He has mindlink. They both get stress."

"Oh! Of course, of course!

Oh... Ya.

Well, good game! Good luck in next round!"

Dude dengar is nearly a 50pt ship just with him the title and a decent ept. That's ridiculously expensive for a 9hull/shield ship. It's not like his ability is garuanteed to work every turn either. That's just way to expensive. You will be lucky to ever make his points back before he dies especially as he basically becomes he center of your list. If you try to make him more durable your just taxing on more points and making him 50+ points which is unheard of.

It's unheard of! Who would spend more than 50 points on a single ship?!

I'm pretty sure this just means "Someone fires at Dengar. Not only do they get attacked back, which might lead to a crit triggering Fett crew, but they also might take a point from the Pain Droid. Ouch."
