Anyone else really excited for FFG to tell us how many protectorate fighters we'll be buying today?

By nikk whyte, in X-Wing

I can't be the only one that needs like 4

truth be told I'd much rather see the shadow caster

but a preview is a preview, and those are always welcome

Honestly... the only thing that's really really really important with the Fang is the dial. I already know what I'm hoping to do with it, but the dial is what might well limit that. We have a good idea of what the EPT is, we can see one of the two unknown unique pilots, so it's really just the dial left at this stage.

Which of course means that will be the bit that they don't spoil :(

dial and point cost*

they can't not spoil those, there isn't anything else to spoil :o

well for me it will suck as i buy for ma son and my self so what ever the number is double it for me :(

Don't let FFg dictate how many you will buy ... just make up your mind now to buy 12 for Epic! :D

Regardless of what there is to spoil, reveal articles always kick start the brain power of the boards, and at the least generate interesting observations and potential builds.

It's one of the only times the board is actually fun, myself included.

Eh, you can make a solid educated guess at the point costs - which I think will probably be a touch dear for my taste unfortunately :(

THere's also which of the three generics have EPTs, I suppose.

you can pretty much guess it'll be the 5

scout's the only ept generic in scum below 5

basically, there's nothing in the Protectorate pack that you can't already see/glimpse (ie fearlessness, the inverse Concord Dawn Protector) from the image apart from

  1. Old Teacher/Teroch's ability
  2. the dial
  3. the point costs of everyone who isn't Fenn

Possibly Kad Solus might have more to his ability too, but I doubt it. That's already a very good ability for a jouster.

Very good ability for LW too if you're practiced at enabling it

Lone WOlf? Yeah, it would be very helpful.

Yeaaa that will probably happen any way

I already have 3 on preorder, so hopefully the preview proves that to be a decent number.

I'm defo getting 4.

4, 4, 3, 1 for this wave.

Pretty sure I'll be buying two.

I'm gonna wager the dial is good but not great and the cost will stroll along E-wing lane and that will create b***hing and the almost non-use of the low-name and no-name pilots.

I'll still get one....

I get the feeling that the PS1s will be 19 points, which is a point more than alphas for 1 hull more and swapping TL for evade.

So, not much use really. It's not like alphas are setting the meta's hair on fire.

Scum have a hard time with small ships compared to the others but make up for it in the large ship area

The cost and actual effect of Fearless(ness) is still unknown. Looking at the card, I don't think there's enough room on the card for it to require that both the attacker and defender be in each other arcs. If it only requires range one and being in the Defender's arc and doesn't cost too much, it might be fun to throw on Kavil with an ABT.

It looks like there's exactly the same text as for the Concord Dawn title, just with attack dice rather than defence dice.

The fact that it's probably Scum Only is hilarious to me.

Scum only because other factions are pansies

Amen brother, keep preaching the good word!

Fearlessness is +1 hit result if you're in each other's grill at range 1. Nice.

Look at the indentation. On the EPT, the third and fourth lines start 3 characters further to the right than the title. With the centering that will put those lines around five or six letters shorter each.
