if the arc is 3 primary, we won't see anything that isn't c3po + r2d2 PS 7

mind choosing a dimmer yellow, i know its there for effect, but only way i can read it is by highlighting it.

also i think the SF has 2 green dice not 3

also find it weird the SF has a missile slot, but no missile upgrade

Even if the only greens are straights?

Title makes primary 3 on the Arc

also small ship mod to give your ship the BR action.

and an ACTION: TORPEDO?

dual illicits on scum large ship

and an IG crew

and "free" (3 points) tractor beams with title.

why is scum sabine shown in the article, but not in the layout of the cards?

ITS ON THE WEBSITE

Time for everyone who said they would quit the game if a prequel ship was introduced to do so, lol.

Edited by Keiththegamergeek

I see they've got Norra Wexley into the game as an ARC-170 pilot, cool.

And Shara Bey, Poe's mom. So that's two moms.

I'm sure FFG will genuinely miss all four of the customers they lose due to the ARC-170's inclusion in the next wave.

Is that Backstabber as the PS7 TIE/sf pilot?

EDIT: No, it's not, we can see his ship token, he's called "Backdraft", which to me sounds synonymous to flatulence but nevermind...

that's what the aux arc is for

and he can do it twice

Wikipedia:

A backdraft is a dramatic event caused by a fire, resulting from rapid re-introduction of oxygen to combustion in an oxygen-depleted environment; for example, the breaking of a window or opening of a door to an enclosed space.

This is all could think of, mostly due to the fact that my buddy had most of his forearm needing to be skin grafted because of a burn caused by this.

I'm just gonna leave this here as I still can't believe it. It looked so fake.

So in that thread there's more below Wave 9:

  • Resistance Shuttle
  • *something I can't make out* StarViper
  • .... XG-1 Assault Gunboat

Go ahead and nerdgasm, guys.

**** but this has been a pain to update. With everyone slamming the forums, it's been timing out on me all night. I think that's everything so far...

interesting that the Shadow Caster image above does not match the image in the article,which shows the PS6 pilot as "Asajj..."; more Clone Wars content?

The image in the article has been updated, show's Sabine now.

That PS 4 ARC-170...any possibility it is Thane Kyrell?

Holly Vectored Retrothursters!

Hope you guys are ready for my boosting, barrel rolling, r2 astromeched, ps9 Poe Dameron. Bye bye Soontir Fel, I will miss you.

Gunboat? Where?

The image in the article has been updated, show's Sabine now.

The new image also appears to show Asajj Ventress as one of the other pilots.
