The Falcon was a bullet I knew we'd bite. Not super happy about it, but 4 brand new pilots, a new title, and access to illicits makes it taste substantially less bitter. Black One was also a certainty and one I've been antsy for. That part of it does not disappoint in the least and again, helps sweeten the excess Falcon. 2 points for 1 PS seems a little much on Poe, but there are plenty of other potential pilots and upgrades to be excited about.

I said a procession of great crew and astromechs.

Apologies then, my brain separated that into a separate precession for each.

I still maintain our mech selection is mostly crappy, our scum only ship selection is laughable, and now our illicit slot is no longer unique to us. And the only thing scum gets out of it is access to a seeming one-time SLAM.

woo *finger twirl*

meanwhile one of the best pilots in the game gets inarguably better for no real reason

why do we need to buy a new falcon. I'd have been happier to have the pilot cards in a cheaper upgrade box. that said. awesome to see new pilots

Welp, it's pretty much the exact definition of what I didn't want to see. The same exact model with a square dish, and the same exact model with a different colour. Words cannot describe how underwhelmed I am, considering I haven't had a desire to use the Falcon since Wave 2 (and that's not changing), and I have no desire for a repainted anything.

I realise I'm on my own on this, but I really don't like this pack at all. My only interest comes in seeing what Snap Shot does.

Here's the "multiple Integrated Astromech in one box" people have been asking for, as well as Primary Thrusters and M???? that may be the "X-Wing fixes" people have been asking for, as well as the rectangular rectenna Falcon people have been asking for, as well as the black/orange T-70 people have been asking for. I think at Christmas, this is what I'll be asking for.

As someone who hasn't really run Falcons, I know the new title makes me very tempted to run it. That, and I really want Rey, Snap, Jess, and Nien Nunb pilots.

it was obvious to anyone who watched TFA Poe needed to be PS9.

TFA was just a cheap remake and brought nothing new to univerise. Before the movie I was really looking forward to it with hope to see new ships that could enrich this game. I was so wrong and disappointed. Nothing really new came and FFG is blindly following the movie by cheaply remaking existing packs and ships (I guess they have no choice so it is Disney to blame). Falcon with rectangular dish and reskinned X-Wing that was already in new core and stand-alone pack in previous wave. No invention - lot of profit. So sad. At least my wallet looks happy now it is only threaten by IA (still lots of possibilities before remake wave arrives) and Armada (which is still new so I am not sure what to expect about rest of Wave III that was not announced yet).

I would rather see ships and heroes from Clone Wars - not great but at least brought new stuff. What we have here? Slightly modified X-Wing with Poe and no-name pilots, same ship with no-name pilots in single pack; yet again the same ship - this time black, wow Poe again... Slightly modified falcon wow, Han again...Chewi again... Rey, Rey again... we also got new TIEs - they are balck and their card is slightly different...

It feels so cheap with no invoation. Am I the only one who sees this?

Im looking forward to it. Even though it does mean I need to find a place for one of my falcons.... as I dont need to carry two, its still neat to have the option to mentally play in the old universe or the new.

Correcting Poe's PS should have been something done in the first place and not necessary for a new expansion pack... but whatev. Ill be happy with my black one!

Yeah, the biggest winner of a Rebel expansion should the Scum faction, obviously.

I don't see it as a "fix" to Poe, as he is paying 2 points for that one PS. But, PS 9 is very much worth it.

So, FFG are saying that the Falcon has been updated with details from Force Awakens...

...does that mean it has Batmobile greebling underneath?

For all of you complaining about how rebels now have an illicit slot and sloop... Need I remind you that this is nothing new? Rebels used to be the only ones with 3 attack power. Imps used to be the only ones with bombs, rebels used to be the only ones with turrets, imps were the only ones with barrel roll, rebels were the only ones with droids, scum was the only one with sloops... Imps were the only ones with 4 attack power... it all goes away eventually.

Heck, I can say the same thing about scum getting SLAM... that used to be a rebel exclusive!

First thought when seeing this.. may the 4th.. is star wars aprils fools?

Whole new Falcon for making the dish square.. lame, but i guess a lot of people did ask for it for some reason.

A black/orange t-70, everyone who cared painted it already.

T-70/Poe, off course they needed a buff they weren't good enough compared to t-65, and poe never got used?

Rey never flew a starship before and off course she is right away more skilled then Maarek Stele.

Named t-70 pilots, should have been in core set but better late than never i guess..

I did want Rey pilot and Finn crew but overall this pack seems very lame to me.

Also it looks like Smuggler's Compartment lets you take another modification, possibly reducing its cost if previous patterns hold.

Ah lovely, cheaper engine upgrades on the falcon......

No way this is the case. They have no reason to give the YT another slot, and reduce the price of another slot. They do that to fix ships. These ships need no fix.

I don't think it lets you take a cheaper modification. I think it lets you take a second modification, but with a limit on how much that second mod can cost specifically to prevent you from taking an Engine Upgrade. It'll probably restrict you to 3 points or less, so things like Hull Upgrades, APLs, and Tactical Jammers will be on the table.

it was obvious to anyone who watched TFA Poe needed to be PS9.

Because movie performance is always 100% indicative of game performance. It's why Hera is PS7, right? Not like she's a top tier pilot in SW canon or anything. I guess I can look forward to Rebel Prototypes, where we get a PS 9 Hera in a B-Wing?

If you had watched any of the interviews with the modeler from around Wave 2, you will know that there isn't "one" Falcon model. There are a few, with differences, in the OT. I'm willing to bet that the TFA model used in the film has differences compared to what they based the original Falcon on .

I don't see it as a "fix" to Poe, as he is paying 2 points for that one PS. But, PS 9 is very much worth it.

It also frees his EPT up, which was invariably used on VI. Now he can be PS9 AND have PTL.

While Rey may be a new pilot, she is overly strong with the force... and even though Maarek is force sensitive, his powers are minor compared to hers from the way it looks like the story is going. The skills she displayed being a first time pilot in a large ship navigating tight quarters against highly agile Ties would show she has quite a bit of potential. Dont count her out yet! Wouldnt want to ding her PS based on that small "new pilot" detail and later find out how wicked she was behind the wheel and have another Poe "broken ps" issue and a new expansion pack with an updates PS later on lol.

Anyone else enjoy that they were very sparse with what they spoiled? I'm kind of bummed that all of Imperial Veterans was spoiled, most of it fairly early as well. I hope they don't reveal all of this by the time it comes out. I'd prefer it just stay like this and we get a pleasant surprise when it's released.

Luke never flew a starship before and he took down the Death Star

Anakin was 8, never flew a starship before and accidentally blew up everything.

Rey is a mechanic, who has been scavenging in starships her entire life having to know exactly how they work and YES had never flown a starship before.

However all of these people have one thing in common: The Force. It is canon that one of the features of the Force is quick-reflexes and better-than-expected pilot ability. Her pilot skill matches Luke Skywalker who was also a force-driven pilot whose only REAL spacebound action was The Battle of Yavin. So it actually feels 100% acceptable for Rey to be PS8.

Now he can be PS9 AND have PTL.

Or he can be PS10 or 11. Because you know no one ever takes a boost to PS on PS9 ships...

So now you can take a PS 9/10 Poe for 31-32 points, or a PS9 Poe for 33 and if you have points give him a EPT. This isn't exactly a huge buff he's getting.

Honestly, with how often A-wings get shot down on her watch, I'd say Hera is definitely a PS7.

You can put words in my mouth all you want. Rebels gained access to IDs, Glitterstim, and Feedback Arrays(Outrider doughnut hole, what Outrider doughnut hole?) (well, DMS and HSB also, but who uses those?). Meanwhile in giving up one our two (formerly) unique upgrade slots, we get crap all for it. They could have at least put some decent illicit options in there.

Hey, how is it Hera's fault if the other pilots are bad? Poe lost plenty of T-70s!
