Fun fact: The article refers to Quickdraw as a woman.

Dial spoiled as well

Thanks, I missed that. Added it to the OP.

I really like the collision detector. Just bring all debris and you can perform barrel rolls over them all you want.

Sensor cluster is going to be stupid on Poe, everything else looks really good though.

Backdraft looks like a ton of fun.

Going to need an FAQ for that system, but the price is nice!

Dial is closest to a t-70?

Ive never really flown imps so not for me was hoping to see the Fang next but maybe next week

Sensor cluster autothrusters Poe seems even more annoying to stick damage on than he was already.

Protectorate Starfighter will almost certainly be next week. They do the previews in the same order as the original wave announcement article, so ARC, TIE/SF, Fang, Shadowcaster. And it's usually 1 per week. So look forward to next Monday!

I am going to buy TWO, super excited for this ship.

But doesn't he want to keep his focus token for regenerating a shield token at the end of the round?

PS9 Poe with PTL, Sensor Cluster, Black one ,R2-D2, and Autothrusters. a 45 point monstrosity but easily the best 1v1 pilot bar none.

Collision Detector +Dash Crew on B-wIng could be interesting, if anything, from the ability to land on a rock and still shoot.

Still, competing with FCS or Adv Sen.

Until he gets ioned by a TIE/D, is stuck pulling white 1-straights forever, cant' unstress, can't regen, and is quickly shredded.

Not if you have R2D2, which is what most people fly with him

It feels like the combo of an attack shuttle and starviper

or just torped to death by scouts regardless

nice title you have there, poe, pity it doesn't do a **** thing

Love Backdraft. Adding that crit gonna be glorious. May need lightning reflexes on him.

I love it.

So we get a really cool fighter with the really cool double arc mechanic. It gets to shoot out of both arcs and I am seriously looking forward to flying them with accuracy corrector. I think it is fairly priced (closest comparison is a b-wing and it has a generic ps 2 for 1 point less). Seriously the generic at ps 3 is 23 points, it's got as much health ad two tie fighters, can throw as many dice as 2 tie fighters (flown to its strength), but it costs a point less than 2 tie fighters. The two top-dog pilots are exciting as one brings a new mechanic to the game (shooting precombat), and the other highlights the tail gun function. Getting one or two of these in the middle of a furball should be awesome to watch.

I do have a single complaint though. The dial isn't as zoom-y as I was hoping! However, I am a majority of the time playing Imperials in this game and I have been spoiled with incredible dials faction wide. It's sorta like a slower tie defender, it can 1 straight but it can't 5 straight, and instead of a white 4 kturn it gets red 3 sloops. For what it is (a heavy fighter, in game mechanics) the dial works and I will be happy with the 3 or 4 I purchase.

I agree, both the 1 turn and the 3 turn are red, definitely not an awesome dial. not terrible, but not what I expected.

Cue the comparison between Sensor Cluster and R3

But they aren't comparable. R3 at this point is bad and it should feel bad. Sensor cluster isn't gonna set the world on fire but I can definitely think of worse ways to spend 2 points, like r3 astromech.

Maybe it works in some fringe way that I don't see because I don't play rebels often, but imo r3 is just bad.

TIE/SF ... a reason to take Marksmanship.

Of course, Quickdraw + PTL + E-Baffle is cheaper than Quickdraw + Marksmanship + EI + E-baffle for slightly less attack modification.

That's kinda my point - I was being facetious.
