Fantasy Flight dropped the first spoilers for Wave 9! That and much more in today’s podcast.

We’ve got the first prequel ship in the ARC-170 inbound, although FFG did find a way to place it within Rebellion era canon. The Imperial ship pulls from the other end of the timeline with the First Order Special Forces TIE Fighter, and it presents a distinctly “Rebel” style, shielded workhorse. Two Scum & Villainy ships finally catch up the newer faction to the others in total variety with the Shadowcaster (Sabine’s gal pal Ketsu Onyo’s vessel) and the first legit Scum superiority fighter craft: Mandalorian Concord Dawn Protectorate Starfighter (AKA “Fang Fighter”).

Cowboy Kenny here, and I am hurt. Chumby could never make a yell like that.

Kessel Run 4 Life...

I've got to admit, when Ryan mentioned using Homing Missile carriers with Shara Bey (using her Target Lock, but not needing to spending it), it kind of blew my mind. I hadn't thought of that combo yet.

Then I tried to make some cool lists, and couldn't figure out anything I liked. I hate Z-95s, and A-wings are too expensive with Homing Missiles. Rebels don't have a lot of options for missiles.

It will be my primary objective to publicly correct our error next time we record!

My deepest apologies Cowboy.

How often do you roll 4 hits with not TLing, focus and guidance chips? I'm assuming its not a good percentage. I think you end up with 3 hits in about 30% of cases.

Sure, I'm always interested in putting a missile on the Falcon for that opening turn, but that's more if an incidental use of Shara's ability. I'm not sure they actually make a good team.

Rakaydos makes a really interesting suggestion with Wardens. I had forgotten about them. Seems too bad to fire after Scouts, though.
