anyone else see the issue with shadow caster?
It says Sabine is a pilot & shows you her card... yet that card is NOT in the spread next to the model
Yeah, I saw that. Very strange.
It's not at all the first time card fans have included things that don't make it into the final package.
Anyone else see something interesting about the arc 170 pilot cards?
Norra Wexley from Aftermath and Shara Bey from Shattered Empire are part of the game now.
Maybe Sabine is actually a rebel pilot and FFG are tricking us with the initial reveal.
I wonder if the shadowcaster is scums answer for epic. 5 ships, all good stats, all with all 4 ig abilities. That just sounds gross.
Anything in here seem like a "direct counter" to u-boats like Alex Davey said there was going to be? Might not be something so obvious from blurry slides.
*SPITS OUT COFFEE*
FFG YOU CAN'T JUST SPRING THIS ON US
Excuse me while I die of excitement.
Holy butts, there isn't a throw away a ship in this wave. All of those ships I can see myself using. The Arc? Stress support with an Alpha strike by giving TLs.
(Also seemingly a mod that adds BR, meet my YV666?)
Tie SF?? Running this with F/O, love the versatility of its title.
The Fang is just insane, plain and simple, Fenn is a killer and doesn't care, I'm going to give him all the actions.
Then the Shadow caster's primary tractor business is bonkers.
I think the Black Sun Slicer is interesting me for more info though
Edited by CheapCreepOk, here's everything I can read:

Maybe the debris pooping Shadowcaster will wreck long range shots somehow?
I kinda can't believe the leak was accurate for once. Hm.
Definitely feeling the Small Aux Arcs. Those are going to be kickass.
Can't wait to see the TIE/sf dial. I like the 2AGI and Spec Ops title giving it basically a T-70 statline but with a possible pair of attacks!
Not...thrilled they went with the ARC-170 but I think it will be a great addition. The Alliance Overhaul is an elegant way to address the statline concerns I would've had with a Clone Wars era superiority craft. The stats look right and yet it will perform just fine in the game.
Scum looks like they're still sitting pretty though! I'm ridiculously excited for the Mando Fang Fighter; Scum really wanted for something potent and Autothruster-y a lá squints and TAPs.
Shadow Caster gets a big yes, especially with the new rotating turret dynamic. I'm down. Especially with the retrofitted Millennium Falcon coming around soon.
***GUNBOAT WAVE X***
Shadow Caster changed quite a few things between render of the expansion fan and the Sabine Wren card.
Is Protectorate Starfighter Scum's answer to the TIE Advanced Prototype? Less a jouster than a duelist, it seems.
TIE/SF is interesting. I wonder what Collision Detector does. And no turret! Hooray!
ARC-170 is good to see in the game, although I'm not excited to see the auto-include titles for it and the TIE/SF (why would you ever choose not include them? what's the tradeoff? even IG-2000 and Slave 1/Andrasta have tradeoffs). ARC-Mommies expansion, scheduled for Mother's Day release, 2017.
Yesss i love the ARC-170
Also the rebellion has used clone wars era ships plenty, they already have the y-wing an z-95 you know ...
Plus i believe there is some old eu stuff where the early rebellion uses ARC fighters and even N-1's.
So now the T-65 has *another* ship treading on it's toes and pushing it further into obsolescence. Heck, even the B-Wing has cause to be worried. 9 HP, 3 attack dice from the front and 2 from the rear, and 6 green moves at 1-2 speed?
Rogue One can't come soon enough.
FIX MY BABY FFG PLEASE

While true, the Shadowcaster (or any scum crew ship) is not super equipped to make use of the IG-2000 abilities. All of them need Engine to activate C (though now we know how Manaroo gives away evade tokens), currently only the Jumpmaster gets any use of D, the Firespray and YV-666 get some good use out of B, and everyone can use A.
It is actually a pretty cool design for IG-Crew (Sadly he is unique), and we still don't how many points he is either.
the t-65 has been thread on by literally everyone, this isn't anything new
not sure enthused about the arc pilots, though. Their abilities (PS 6 and 7) are stupidly situational and difficult to abuse without some serious luck
PS 6 sacrifices her own modifiers
PS 7 sacrifices her own modifier to add a result that needs to be further modified to do anything
basically need to PTL and hope you don't roll blanks
if r5-k6 wasn't such utter dreck, she'd be interesting

Cos every ship of that type has an ability. The other ways to implement that would be more messy. It's like he IG-2000 title really.
I find this funny.
Certain People's opinions on imperials: What? Another Tie? **** it!
Certain people's opinions on rebels: What? Something that's no an Xwing? **** it!
If only people loved ties as they did the Xwing.
I find it hilarious IG88 crew is unique, literally the only named pilot you can multiple and has lore for having several copies of himself.
I love that the polish leak from last month we all dismissed as fake was actually right.
I also love Fenn Rau. Fenn Rau is the boss.
*edit: italian leak, published on a polish website

But each IG-88 Pilot is unique too.

How would you suggest adding a unique piece of rules text to every member of a ship class, without using a title or modification?

9 hit points, sure, but 1 Agility is a drawback compared to the X-wing's 6(ish) hit points on 2 Agility. And the ARC can't be spammed. And the ARC costs more than the X-wing.
ARC 170 totally unnecessary. Why not take those great pilots and save them for the ships they actually flew in an expansion that would be wildly popular?
Lame.
However, just my $0.02.

I assure you this expansion will be wildly popular.

Because it doesn't fit their release pattern, because they wan't to add new ships with new stat lines that give more utility with different combinations of upgrades.
Astro + Crew will be fun and I like that the ARC has Poe and Snap's mums.
