Sigh. Model's wrong, which is becoming fairly typical for FFG lately. The front of the engines are supposed to be open, like intakes. See here:
Edit: Hopefully it's just the 3D model that's wrong, not the final sculpt.
It's the grey they used for the render. There is a slight color change that makes it look like the front is hollow, and the artwork on the cards (well 3 of them, not Sabine) show the correct front.
Pictures from UK game expo confirm Ventress in the Shadow caster
Interesting thing of Ketsu Onyo is that she can use her pilot skill to any ship, that brings rather wonky way of using tractor beam in your own fleet to reposition for attack or dodge an arc. Funny Scum thing coming again!
Also noticed that the debris cloud is pretty darn big, so you can block pretty good are with that or just drop over few ships, stress, lost actions and possibly crit if very lucky! Worth probably few points.
Pretty happy with Onyo, with VI it will be nine and have pretty good chance to lower agility by two from one ship and reposition that or give one minus to agility for two ships and reposition them both. Run it with Tactician and you get some stress in and you will cause some gray hairs to your opponent..
i'll get it just because the mention of Ventress. I'm a fan of the Sith apprentice/merc
Mechanics seem great but this is the first X Wing ship I find to be just hideous.
I'm sure the model will look great though.
I rather like it - it's what the USS Defiant would look like if it lived in the Star Wars universe (and was a lot smaller)
Has anyone noticed the new action icon on the action bar yet?
Judging by the shape of it it has something to do with the mobile firing arc
The dial could be interesting. The preview is showing a green 3 bank; I think it would be the first ship with that maneuver.
The IG2000 has green 3 banks, and Unhinged Astromech and TIE mk 2 grant them to a number of ships.

If you read the article, it specifically mentions a "Rotate Arc" action

Ah yes - curse my bleary pre-coffee eyes
