Lone Wolf

EITHER: Countermeasures or EI

BMST

Lothal 42

ABT

FCS

APL

Hera

I could run countermeasures and only use BMST over RecSpec if no one had shots on me. The alternative is to use EI and restrict the dial to greens when using BMS and always be able to keep the 2 focus to combo with lone wolf.

One is stronger against PTL aces, the other torp boats.

How many copies of the slicer tools in the box?

Listen. YTs already aren't great right now. So you might as well try BMST. You might find your opinions about the "necessity" of EU completely shattered.

Why need a maneuverability boost when you're a fat turret that LOVES when arc dodgers with stress get into range 1-2? Just wait for them to come to you. When they do, you punish them. They can't stay in range 3 forever.

And if you're that worried about positioning, take the new sloop title on the falcon, or just take dash because dash does still have BR.

Or just put vectored thrusters on the falcon after smuggling compartment. Easy peasy.

Sabotage v2.0. Thematic, balanced, and a great point-filler. I likey.

In other news: Mobile arcs confirmed in X-wing 2.0. Goodbye ezmode PWT's. [insert dead horse comment here]

Vector thrusters is small ship only. So that does not work. Engine upgrade on a large ship make it one of the best arc-dodgers outhere..while allowing you to fire 360 out of arc..better to dodge arcs and fire than exchange shoots at range 3 against 4 green dice and autothrusters IMHO.

It is random and I hate coin flips, but **** it.

Can't wait to kill your ass in 6 coinflips on average haha. Phantoms and Corran in only 4 haha.

The Corran and the Phantom era have been slowly fading, and this is the end for them.

Finally, FFG has addressed those stupid PTL Phantoms that have been dominating the meta.

Also, since it is an action, low PS pilots can use it before aces have a chance to run away from it, unlike feedback array.

I can't wait for the "here comes the hacker swarm. I'll just put down a red maneuver on my stressed ship" play.

i wouldnt ever do that. The moment i see someone do that i would start doing the "Maybe i wont hack this time..." mentality. Oh you revealed a red move? And i didnt hack you to remove stress before said red move? Darn...hello rock...

or for that matter, never succeeded to hack lol

The scum faction is really seeming like the place to be. Not only do they seem to have fun awesome ships, but they seem effective as well. I may be moving on from Imps when I get wave 9 in hand.

Get on the bus.. The Party Bus that is. I heart Palp Aces but haven't played them in over a month because of FFG's new mantra: **** Imperials, **** Rebels.

I think someone used too many Glitterstims this morning.

PTL Phantoms. When you have to explain to someone why ACD is remotely a better possibility than Targeting Computer.

I like the new cards and ships (other than the arc dial as it almost requires an R2 mech. which is a shame). This new wave makes range control even more important. I'm not sure how it will affect Palp+Aces, etc as everyone claims. I think the best Palp players will be fine but it will likely cut out all those in the middle that can range control effectively. So the middle tier should be more open & diverse which is great.

Fairly cheap anti PTL, Anti Zuckuss tech. Throw in a few answers to torpedos and done.

I don't get the hate for the ARC-170 dial. It has plenty of green on it unless you insist on taking PTL, it has white turns, and if you need to go fast you can take a stress to do it. It's a better dial than the B-Wing has and this ship has an auxiliary arc.

The first casualty of previews is perspective.

****, rebels got shafted. Cant use slicer, and it hurts them bad as it goes through shields so regen wont work.

Also, nobody one-shots Soontir. You roll 4 hits and if you are lucky, 1 goes through. So, if a Z can get 1 damage on Soontir, it has paid for itself since 1/3 of soontir is 12-ish pts. Two damage on aces and it has close to 200% efficiency. That is equal to Dash soloing an entire list, or Soonts taking out 70pts of a list.

Unlike feedback array, you dont an entire list of SlicerZs (see what I did there?), since you dont need to cover a wide area and hope an ace lands within range 1. You only need two SlicerZs. That is mathematically 1 hit on a PTL ace every round. They move first and can land anywhere within range 2. That counts for new hotness PTL ryad also since Slicer goes through shields, she is fragile versus SlicerZs who dont care how many greens she has, or if she gets an evade token. She is dead in three rounds.

The aces options are to ignore the rest of the list and hunt down ASAP the slicerZs. 26pts for two ships. Hello Scum Biggs? SlicerZs are gonna be Meta changers. Lots of PTL good be going bye-bye. Inquisitor cant even take the chance of two SlicerZs. He could be eliminated before he fires a second shot.

Palp Aces can still be powerful with Yorr and Palp, just Palps will have to be in the battle more then hiding out so that Yorr can take the stress from aces.

****, rebels got shafted. Cant use slicer, and it hurts them bad as it goes through shields so regen wont work.

They will be able to use BMST when Heroes of the Resistance comes out thanks to Smuggling Compartment...

...On YTs, and only when they give up Engine Upgrade.

BMST is really not a good card for the game.

Its not mathmatidally 1 hit every round. Its a 75% chance of getting a hit with 2 slicer tools

Which will hopefully open things up for new variants of YTs in the meta. A Wild Space Fringer with Anti-Pursuit Lasers, an Intel Agent, and choice of Feedback Array, Rigged Cargo Chute or BMST should be a massive pest for 34-35 points.

Also, i quisitor can be better than soontir against slicer tools. You can target lovk and get a free evade and get tokens for both offense and defense without using ptl. Soontir can only gwt 1 token without stressing

It makes stress a consideration again, so that can't be bad... Arc dodgin Aces can't assume that push the limit is an auto pick. And that's good.
