Beside the Fang fighter, which could finally be scum´s interceptor (depends on dial, hopefully at least one green turn):

Wave 9 includes a card obviously adding barrel roll to small ships. Will we see a boost of T-70 X-wings with R2 astromech?

I wanted this mod for quite a while.

Many times I wish I could've Barrel Rolled my Moldy Crow.

Expert Handling does let you do this, but yeah... it'd be nice to free up that slot and/or avoid the stress by getting a mod that'll do the same thing.

I really do hope it's just a 2-point card that adds barrel roll.

For T-70, autothrusters will still be better.

But T-65, Kirahz, Hawk, and Y-wings are very happy

Paying 1 point for a loss of a hull and whatever ability your 1 point mech has but adding barrel roll is still a bit tough for the T-65.

I'm also hoping for it to be 2 points, but with Engine costing 4 and still seeing plenty of use, I can see it costing just as much...

Khiraxz Fighters are going to be very happy. They will be able to do crazy things like 1 hard turn and BR backwards to almost pivot and face to the right or left. That's pretty good on a ship with 3 attack dice. If they have an EPT, they can always use Predator or that new Fearless card.

Yeah, it gives a bit of fresh air to a variety of rebel ships, cool...

im just sad it put a small ship only tag on there.

Lamba Shuttle with Barrel Roll....yes...all the WTF!? reactions will be worth it alone....

I hope small ship only. And 1 point.

Was hoping for something that gave native barrel roll ships a little help though. Like bwings and generic tie advanced.

It is small ship only, judging from the fan

Edit: nope. Dont read this.

You are remembering incorrectly.

Lambda shuttle has no EPT. Expert Handling is probably the only one i'd slap on there too, given he needs to red-turn way more than once for adrenaline to be worth it. Well, at the higher PS i might take Squad Leader to hand out actions, since his isnt that important.

Lamda shuttles and Imperial Firesprays could use some new cards/pilots. Lets be honest, who the hell has used the lamda shuttle for more than a palpmobile? i have once, and it went horribly lol.

back on topic...the main ship people think this is a fix for is the X-wing. I dont get why though. X-wing hits pretty hard and is reasonably tanky, thats not the issue though its that its about 4-6pts too expensive. I dont see barrel roll alone making them great again.

Barrel rolling Y-wings and HWKs with autoblasters could be more viable here

Here's hoping its 4 points and small ship only.

I have a feeling that the R3 droid is going to give an evade token when certain conditions are met. If it's reasonably priced and the condition is one that fairly commonly occurs, that should make the T-65 and T-70 (especially with Comms Relay) very durable.

I've been barrel rolling Palob since last spring. Vader and Omega Leader hate Expert Handling(add K4 for some nice synergy when clearing the stress.)

Yes, PTL Kavil is very interested in vectoring his thrust.

Question- does a barrel roll get you out of arc of a genius bomb drop?

I'll try to translate.

"If I drop the bomb after executing a maneuver will I be able to get out of Range 1 of the bomb token to avoid taking damage [EDIT: by performing a barrel roll obviously]?"

Back-of-the-envelope math says no. You can wind up 60mm ahead of the bomb and 60mm to the side of your starting position, and the hypotenuse of that triangle is less than 100mm (~84.9mm).

Tank ya mr. Maths man me aprreciate.

But seriously thanks. Sorry for the original confusing and poorly worded question and thank you eMeM for translating.
