I wanna say, give the guy ruthlessness!

This guy is the IDEAL candidate for Expose.

you WANT to have low agility. You WANT them to attack you so you can attack 4x. Now each of those 4x attacks will be 3 dice instead of 2. And if howlrunner is nearby? Or if Youngster has Expose and you instead give him Predator? Now you've got up to 12 dice per turn!

You'll need to give him advanced sensors though.

Stop trying to make Expose happen. It's not going to happen.

Haha! I can't help it. Each time something new comes out, I look to make it happen. I'm always trying to take poo and make gold.

I will honestly say that Youngster w/ Expose and some TIE/SF FO are not so bad! That's 4 red dice, 1 green, 3 hull, and 3 shield. That's not bad at all!

pretty much anyone trying to use expose either needs 2 EPTs (Awing only iirc) or a buddy to hand out focus tokens.

Raw dice rarely hit hard. Even Miranda with her +1 die at a shield cost throwing 5-6 dice has **** good odds of wiffing or doing meh damage without modifiers or rerolls. Solidified dice > number of dice majority of the time.

Even if you can shoot two times in a row, like a corran, a d/defender, a sf... EPT like markmanship, rage, predator, juke, lone wolf, wired... even PtL are superior choices to potence both attacks, and again, with more versatility.

I respect trying to make expose work. I just don't think it will.

expose mainly just costs way too much. If it either didnt cut your agility and just ate the action OR it was a 1pt ept, you'd probably see it a lot

Or was 4 points and gives the extra attack... You are right though, for what it does it's never going to be worth it. Even on a Deci. See, the Deci has 0 agi, so technically expose doesn't have a drawback, except it's typically better to target lock. so even if it just eats the action, it's not worth it.

4pts for a +1 die with no penalty would be rather op. I doubt you'd ever see people NOT run it unless they didnt have an EPT or demand PTL to function right. Hence why i said it eats the action too.

Maybe someday, if you could pass an EPT to other ship, like youngster, but to any other ship... A raider with ordnance tubes and cluster missiles... +1 red dice in nine attacks, in a ship with few forms of dice alteration...

Otherwise, maybe in X Wing 2.0?

The idea seems to be:

"Hit asteroid. Perform primary attack. Choose not to roll additional attack dice. Perform additional attack from auxiliary arc. Then own attack phase comes up - perform primary attack (choose no additional attack dice), perform auxiliary arc attack".

or y'know, PTL/Rage+Ebaffle one stress take shield damage shoot. shoot again ect.

Or Expose + Adaptability + range 1 = two attack ace/large ship killer in one round.

then get booted from a tournament for cheating by using two EPTs

suddenly LE WILD YOUNGSTER APPEARS

You use his Expose, you feel awesome

I think FFG may need to clarify. While "do what the card says" would indicate that you may perform an attack when you loose a shield, the fact sheet that you loose that shield doing the activation phase, not the combat phase. I am not a rules scholar, but I do not see how you can perform an attack outside the combat phase. All other cards talking about second attacks all specifically reference combat.

It is a slippery slope. We are now seeing a bunch of actions triggered from being shot at (R5-P8, Valon Rudor, etc). While I see the advantage given to shooting out of sequence, full fledge combat may breakout during activation by Wave 11.

I can see it either way...just needs to be clarified.

Yeah that's true, would need to be way more points.

removing the action requirement and trading a green for a red while staying at 4 points is good though. Course then useless on youngster...

wouldn't be much of a quick draw if he could only shoot the same as everyone else

True that. He is PS 9 though. Like i said, it can be fun either way. I look forward to FFG'S interpretation.

I mean, it's about the only viable platform for rage (tycho I guess; Ezra?) and ebaffle (lambdas? eh)

coming out just after the jumpmaster and misthunter expacs, I can think of two very good reasons why he'd shoot during activation

kHorn says "hello"

attacking during End phase

all the actions in non_action phase

the movements during combat and action phases...

nah, totally new to the game, never before seen

Acc Corrector is a sensor slot.

System Slot! Who does everyone keep calling it sensor? :'(

probably because the icon is a radar dish which is most commonly associated with sensors?

Or just get odd looks because your squad has both Youngster and Expose in it.
