I have a feeling that the PS1 pilot will be 20 points.
...but five of these will be fun as Hell.
(Afterthought: 5 x $13 = I'm broke)
Lets talk about the Fang!
Dont you guys think that Target lock is not worth points, I mean that Interceptors are lacking them?
I hope they will cost 18p each at PS1, they would see more playing that way, but I don't think we gonna see five fangs with tittle and autothursters!
It is pretty hars decision for ffg to make that PS1 price correct so that it won't destroy the meta for tournament players, but I am feel lucky that I don't let that bother too much! I just wanna have fun with friends and do occasionally tournaments!
19 Feels right.
19 most likely, no need to compare to other ships i'd think, 28 - 8 for pilot skill -1 for ability = 19. That's how it is for most ships.
Really excited for this one!
And a 2 T-roll seems great for a range 1 fighter, a 2 k-turn might be though to land past someone but with the t-roll you get past much easier while staying in close range.
It seems that Arc 170 brings those Seismic Torps and there is lot of range 1 wording, so make me think that it might be to go torp for fang fighters! Maybe you get range 1 bonuses to fire it up on target? That would make Fenn Rau crazy good!
I've read very good speculation that the STs will be handling obstacles in space. Seismic seems to call for earthquakes, and the accompanying text speaks of " upgrades that can literally change the shape of the battlefield." Bye bye asteroid!

The actual quote is "Ordnance and Upgrades", the ordnance part being the key, since otherwise the debris dropper would cover it. It also echos Jango's seismic charges he used against Obi-wan in episode 2.
I'm pretty sure Scum Fel will make a 3 ship build playable. Zuckuss Palob Fen. Most enemy squads will have a hard time dealing with an empire ace... Or they will want nothing to do with Palob and Zuckuss. The fact that you can throw between 6-10 red dice at PS 9 will be a pretty big deal. This is a failing of a lot of ace builds that they can't consistently hit red dice benchmarks. Zuck and Fen can push above that metric pretty easily. As well, 2/3 pot shots from Fen will open up the game vs Uboats. Only time will tell how dominant crack ion Ves is, and if the meta he creates keeps aces relevant.
