the news article on the FFG website https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2016/8/5/criminals-and-commanders/wait, where can you guys see what Rapid Launch does?
hmm I don't see it!
Wave 5
Well, I guess I'm done working for the day
Same thing happened to me, man!
Pretty much.
It gets worse. . . I just STARTED working. . .
aaaaaand immediately stopped.
I have like a quarter of my mind on work atm. . .
scroll down to the summary of the pheniox home expansion and you can read about half the text or rapid launch

ok so it's some kind of deployment trick?
Fighters: Cool.
Ships: Meh.
But we'll see when they actually release.
I'm a bit surprised we aren't seeing the new Star Destroyer from TFA.
That thing is HUGE! We wont see that for a time or until they bring out epic Armada.

It seems you set aside X number of squadrons and can launch them on a squadron command.

Is it? It seems like normal ISD size in the movies.
I think, aesthetically speaking, the Phoenix Home is a beautiful ship.

It is the rebel equivalent of the Interdictor. . .

There's a lot of flavor missing from the ships. We don't see enough of any of Pheonix Home's unique upgrades, either he fleet command or its Title to really know what its bringing in.
We dont see either title for the Arquietens either, although I think it fills a nice roll for the imperials as it will likely have access to TRC's and it looks like it might have 4 defense tokens. If so, you can drop needa on it and theres a very solid imperial trc platform. So atm I see what you are saying, but I think the previews for these ships might be epic.
Arquitens: Imperial broadside Neb! Is this the flank guard we've been looking for? If it can take EA... ouch!
Pelta: rebel black dice! Glad I up front... wonder if it will take ordnance/wonder what the SQD value will be. New escort carrier?
For the Pelta, there's an ordinance in the pack, so almost certainly yes.
Similarly for the Arquitens, there's a turbolaser, so yes.
I can confirm the 4 defense tokens.
YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Super happy. Though I hope that these suffer from the normal FFG delays. 4th quarter is too soon! We don't even have Wave's 3 & 4 in our grubby little mits yet. 
I can confirm the 4 defense tokens.
Tell us more. . . must know more!
Well thats it then, needa and trcs alone make this thing worth using.
....did anyone else notice that Phoenix Home looks like it gives an additional officer slot?

Where?
In the fan. I can make out "You gain 1 additional (crew) icon......"
Looks like the imperial officer on the Light Cruiser does something similar: "You gain.....icon in your......"
Edited by Audio WeaselYou are correct. It IS of interest.
Hah, even FFG said Imperials will gain some diversity of fleet builds! take that doubters
Edited to add : I am super excited, and happy with this new stuff, cannot wait to play with it.
