Oh if we're talking just casual stuff then go hog wild. I mean in a competitive game, you're unlikely to want to drop more than the cost of Howlrunner on a TIE Fighter with some tricks. Slicer tools gives it some punch, and both Tactician and Intel Agent play well with the pilot ability as an ace harasser. You might even give her Juke instead of Crackshot and push it to 19, which is about as high as I'd be comfortable putting her.

Casual though? She's totally getting a cloaking device and something ridiculous, like a gunner.

Wondering if Sabine could be slotted into the crackshot A-wing swarm to good effect.

Mainly because it would look soooo cool and be very thematic.

DARE YOU DENNY THE CUTE?!?!?!

I rather like this build. Crazy action economy (3 actions with no stress on all straights and banks), can arc-dodge generics and U-boats and can mess with stressy aces thanks to the slicer tools, all for only 22 points. It doesn't have anything to explicitly inflict stress on an enemy. You can either pay an extra point to swap Nien for a Tactician or just put the stress causers elsewhere in your list (VI Wes with R3-A2 and IA is handy in this role).

You need to update her haircut

The next version I do of Lil' Miss Mando will be more action packed and with her helmet on.

*EMP something

During the Combat Phase

instead of performing any

attacks, you may discard this

card to as sign an Ion token

to each (enemy?) ship at range (1?)

Why doesn't this get any attention?

If priced at some 2 points, it looks like a very decent upgrade. Made for Sabine+Intel, block and zapp.

Just for fun:

Sabine Wren (TIE Fighter) - TIE Fighter 15
Push the Limit 3

Kanan Jarrus 3

Cloaking Device 2

Stealth Device 3

Sabine's Masterpiece 1

Ship Total: 27

Don't think this is competitive, still a PS 5 TIE Fighter with 2 Red dice - but for FUN games.
Flying from one end to the other in 2 turns. hahaha.

(also pray to dice gods you don't roll a focus for your Illicit Cloaking Device - gambling is half the fun!! )

Sabine with Intimidation, Intelligence Agent and Black Sun Slicer Tools. Cheap, dangerous blocker.

I think the reason it hasn't had more attention is that we are not certain what it does. The fill in of the missing text looks plausible but is not guaranteed and neither is the price.

However, if we assume that it is accurate then it could be murder against swarms. Turn 1, fly in a sacrificial ship wit the EMP and ionize the swarm so you know exactly where they will be. Next turn, use a bomber to drop a Proton/Thermal/Seismic in front of the swarm and watch as they all do a 1-straight into the blast zone.

any pilot not Sabine (with High PS so VI or adaptability), with Masterpiece and Deadman Switch, Sabine Crew and Proton bombs will be soo much fun!

Sabine Escort...

One thing that we can't really take into account but will probably be integral to sabine's TIE is going to be the condition card associated with this ship expansion.

I think it will probably be something similar to an idea I had for a custom illicit card a while back that I called 'fake transponder', or something similar.

From what I can see on the condition card, it has something to do with targeting, and I think that given that this is a stolen ship, opponents may be prevented from shooting at it during the initial phases of the game. This ship may act as a traitor or infiltrator ship, not targetable until it is within a certain range (R1 I would guess), or until it has fired on the enemy itself.

So think about that a little bit while theorycrafting here. Obviously what I think the card will be is supposition, but I doubt that the condition card will not be very important to the function of this ship.

Idk if it'll be that integral

One thing we must remember about the rebel tie fighter is...it's a tie fighter

Unless you overburden it with superfluous upgrades, it's always an efficient investment

So the condition might be necessary for silly builds to not explode after the first range 3 HWK primary, but the ship itself is basically good to go as is

The art on the condition token matches the art on Captain Rex's pilot card, and the article says it has something to do with messing with the enemy's offense. My guess is it's called "Suppressing Fire" or something like that. Not sure whether Rex's crew ability will also have to do with the condition (like Kylo Ren).

If captain Rex FINALLY introduces the ACTUAL torp scout counter (removing focus from attackers before modify dice step) I'll be so **** happy to seal him in an ARC

Sabine with Intimidation, Intelligence Agent and Black Sun Slicer Tools. Cheap, dangerous blocker.

I really like this. It could be pretty good. That would be an excellent blocker.

I was also looking at the CAPTURED TIE modification, as well. It does something about ships with a lower x can't attack you until you attack someone else (or are the last ship alive). This upgrade makes the above Sabine an even better blocker!

I doubt he's Captain Rex. I think it's more likely "Captured" something. or Captive. Captured Pilot, Captive Imperial Agent, or whatever.

Rebels don't usually use rank for people commonly known by one name. Rex is known primarily as Rex. Heck, even Leia is Leia Organa, not "Princess Leia", so I doubt it would be Captain Rex.

There's Lieutenant Blount, at least.

rex is a veteran from the clone wars (both the war and the TV show), though, and he made an appearance in Rebels (which apparently qualifies him to fly Sabine's Tie, but not an ARC ) just like Ahsoka

the rebellion doesn't seem super militaristic at the squad level, but Rex does come from a military background

besides, apart from the Captured Tie mod, there's both a crew and Tie Pilot that are unique "Capt"

now a captured crew makes sense, rebel captive and all, but who the hell is letting a captive fly a tie fighter ?

Good question. If I'm gonna dig in my heels then I mite as well go full crazy. (It MAY actually be Rex, I just like a good discussion, so here goes).

Maybe Kanan is mind controlling the captured pilot. Maybe Hera did a little dance for him to woo them to the rebels side. Maybe it's a female pilot and she's got a thing for Zeb.

Maybe it's Captivated Pilot - and they are in love with Sabine and her pretty colors have hypnotized them.

Maybe it's Captcha pilot, and it shows a pilot trying to start the TIE Fighter, but the screen says "Prove you are NOT a robot" and says : Y 2 E 8 w A ________

Yes....but the ARC-170 is the retro fitted one that is only in the Galactic Civil War. Rex is an old guy by the time the show is around. He doesn't do combat flight anymore in a snub nosed ship. So, he shouldn't be allowed to fly it. It goes to show that it's NOT a Clone Wars ship brought into the game, but a GCW ship that also happened to be used in the Clone Wars. It doesn't matter that he flew the ARC-170 in the Clone Wars, as it's not representing ships/pilots from that time period.

This is a Rebel regen TIE Fighter. It is a sign of the end days. If enemy ships point at you, you cloak up and take a focus token then sit tight. As long as you never take a damage card and only get hit for just your shield on each turn, R2D2 will continue to regenerate that shield without risking any crits. Later in the game when there are fewer things to attack you, you can just use your shield and focus and evade token and largely be immune to damage. Maybe pair up with Biggs in the early game, to make sure that you never receive that damage card.

...it's a TIE Fighter flown by rebels that can regen shields!!! If that doesn't blow your mind, I don't know what will.

It's a 2 attack ship that constitutes nearly a third of your list and has no special tricks on offense or for control. Why is anyone even going to bother shooting at it while there are other ships on the board? Why would you spend even more points on Biggs to keep that ship alive?
