People should know better than to trust the marketing department.

An innocent mistake has become a hate thread

But tractor beams are sought after...and if it includes two...nobody would buy the second ship.

To the contrary, most of the complainers seem to not be inclined to buy a second ship despite the depressing reveal of only a single tractor beam.

Dat truth bomb doe

Not to mention I have 4 and could care less about TBs

Thats a BS change! I was looking forward to having two tractor beams, to play some double scyks or 3 with defender lists when Vet Aces hits. No way am i buying another Mist Hunter.

Fortunately for you, Imperial Veterans (I'm sure that's what you meant) contains at least one Tractor Beam.

....Am I the only guy who's kinda ok with having 2 electronic baffles in exchange? Only 1 Tractor beam is a bummer but I can't foresee using more than two competitively pre imp vets.

I am. One copy of a card that I will probably never use more than one of and two cards that make the shuttle a decent dogfighter? Yes, please.

I need four tractor beams. I really don't want four G1-A's

Agreed. I think baffles has a lot of uses and rather underestimated. You can even plug it to standard palp aces build. I'm also brewing a C-D brobots list that make use of the two baffles so they can maneuver beautifully across the mat

After a day of contemplating, I do agree that 2 electronic baffles (for now) are better, but I do believe there was a build out there that would benefit from multiple TBs. (Not competitively, but beneficial).

Think of this funny build:

Tansarii Point Veteran (four copies of this build)

Crack Shot

"Heavy Scyk" Interceptor

Stealth Device

Tractor Beam

Comes in at 96 points, so room for improvement on EPT, but this was a fun build I wanted to fly.

Or it could be something as simple as a packing error. Don't be so quick to deal out potentially slanderous claims of false advertising too quickly. Did you contact FFG to ask how many cards were supposed to be in the pack? Or did you just jump to the conclusion that you were screwed over by Big Bad Corporation^TM?

Omg, a kid has been watching too much of The Good Wife ....slanderous lmao .....:-)

I couldn't care less how many tractor beams it comes with, I'm still buying a minimum of 2 to actually use. Maybe 4...

I actually feel like till imperial vetetans comes out, you'll probably only ever see (maybe) a scyk with the tractor beam. At least the Baffles will be useful on lambdas and b wings immeadiately. I agree that the preview should reflect the correct contents of the package though.

Buy 1 or 2 G1-A s and 1-2 Imperial Aces for them.

I went with 4. They're actually not bad. 3 attack, 8hp and an interesting dial

I'm not really annoyed at this issue itself (I was planning a dual tractor beam Brobots list. Now it's not happening as I'm not buying 2 Mist Hunters nor Imperial Veterans. Meh)

What I'm mildly annoyed is that errors in articles is a constant trend at FFG and it's not the first time people are driven into pre-ordering something based on incorrect information (se also the 'slam and Bomb' debacle). In a respectable company I'd expect some measures to have been taken until now.

"FFG's preview articles have been wrong many times in the past, I'm going to keep basing all of my preorder decisions solely on their preview articles...."

Seems legit. >.<

I'm very disappointed in this ship.

The use of the bomb with K-Wing was also very disappointing based on a wrong preview. Only 1 Tractor Beam included finally on this is crap.

I ordered ONE Mist Hunter for TWO tractor beams. I am quite pissed off. FFG will be getting a letter/email from me, that's for sure. They should have released the content sheet along with the preview, not just a picture with the wrong cards. Hopefully more people email them. When they run their business only putting one kind of card in one pack (TLT, Autothrusters, etc) then they need to be spot on with the contents people are buying. If they sold the Mist Hunter upgrade cards as a 3.99 booster pack or something, that is one thing. But I was expecting two tractor beams for my squads and Im not gonna buy ANOTHER mist hunter when I dont fly Scum. Lame move on their part.

The ffg website clearly states it comes with one tractor beam.

I'm not sure what you are upset about.

The Ruthless Freelancer card shows it firing a nose cannon of sorts... the model doesn't have this.

I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!!!

He is upset with wrong preview. Preview should be accurate with real content since at the moment they release the preview the booster pack is under production. If the preview is not accurate with real content they should display a advertisement with something like "not final content".

Advertisement is contractual. It is one of our rights as customers.

Sincerely, they could just stop adding so many useless and repetitive rules cards (Do we need another Modifications and Titles rules cards, specially when that is now explained in the new core set manual?) and with the cardstock that they would save, add another tractor beam to keep people happy.

It says it comes with a tractor beam.

It's entirely reasonable to expect the photo of everything in the box to be a more exhaustive list of everything in the box than a few fluffy sentences listing a few things in the box.
