Squinting at Things So You Don't Have To!

By ObiWonka, in X-Wing

As to the captured TIE, wouldn't it be more likely that, rather than agility, it is Pilot skill that determines if an enemy can attack you? Think of it this way, an academy pilot would be more easily fooled than say, Soontir Fel or Darth Vader.

Also for the quadjumper, the one pilot will be [Const]able Zuvio

I don't see anything about the Condition Card that comes with the TIE. It appears to be linked to either the Captured TIE modification or Captain Rex crew.

Yep, all points that have been made already. I haven't edited the OP yet, though at some point I will go back and do so to reflect everyone's insight! Again, these were just educated guesses at something that made some kind of thematic sense and also fit the spacing on the card.

Modification: • Captured Tie

Tie Fighter Only. Rebel Only.

Modification .

Enemy ship [s with an agility ]

value lower [than yours cannot]

declare you [as the target of an]

attack. Aft[er you perform an]

attack, or aft[er all of your other]

remaining [ships are destroyed,]

discard [this card.]

I think that's going to be Pilot Skill, not Agility. It also makes more sense that way.

Pretty sure captured will actually refer to Pilot Skill rather than agility. Vader will know to shoot them, but academy ace will be none the wiser.

Also, •A score to settle

is this:

During setup, before the 'place

forces' step, choose 1 enemy

ship and assign the 'A Debt to

pay' condition card to it.

When attacking a ship that has

the 'A debt to pay' condition

card you may change 1 focus

Result to a crit result.

The one has to be Constable Zuvio, you know, the guy who was in promotional material, pictures, action figure, short story, and then in even in the frickin movie?!?! Yep, that Constable Zuvio

I think we all know it'll be Zuvio. It's more funny as Matt though.

Was just looking at this again and if Captured Tie is anything even close to what is being proposed (whether agility or pilot skill is the missing key word is still up for debate), I can see it being a terrible play experience piece. Just imagine a game where it is down to the Captured Tie and Miranda against a bunch of ships that can't shoot the Captured Tie. Miranda just has to run away while the Tie plinks away at the rest of the group for the remainder of the game and Miranda can plink away with TLT if anything gets close enough to shoot her.

Hope it costs like 8 points. Doubt it will though. Probably free.

That's exactly why it's discarded after you perform an attack. You've blown your cover.

Then you just don't shoot unless no one has arc on you or you are fairly certain they wont kill you. That is something, but it still seems really powerful.

eh...

it's a toss up

on one hand, it's certainly very powerful

on the other, it's actually very likely you won't want to bother with the tie if there's something more important (when isn't there?) to shoot at

personally not at all bothered if the keyword is "targeted for an attack". I've been practicing with flipping feedbacks and conners since they were spoiled , and I'm not above dropping them on Ties :P

and it's probably lower PS

reason being, if you fire during the combat phase you're not getting a free ride for the remainder of the round

If this is right, then I feel that this might be a pretty important card, esp for low PS pilots who would get a chance to shoot high PS pilots before they can token up or boost/BR. TIE Phantoms would also love it for the ability to recloak before the combat step.

Throw on VI so Omega Leader, Inquisitor, Brobots, Party bus, PTL Norra, ect cant touch you. Sabine Maserpiece for BMST and Jan Ors or Kanan Jarrus.

I'm terrified that this card will be a discard EPT for 1pt. It's much too good a card for that. If you don't have to discard this card after using it, it's a total game changer, if it is a discard...it's probably on par with crackshot (it'll still be good, but it won't be a massive game changer).

The real shame is it's an EPT, which means the ships that will use it are the same ones that already are competitive and using Crack Shot. Can you imagine a Black Sq swarm with that upgrade? Just wild. Meanwhile, generic Bs and Xs are as bad as ever.

What the???? How did I miss this! Thanks for posting!!!

And it is BoShek for sure. Awesome! Think that's gotta be Paul's card. Only reason he would be in there I think.

I think it goes:

jonów do każdego statku

w Zasięgu 1

In the combat phase, instead of performing any attacks, you can discard this card to assign 2 ion tokens to each ship at Range 1.

Nice! We really need your translation work right now.

Any luck on the Captured Tie title? Seems like we got a lot more there. Rex crew as well. And maaaaybe a tad more of BoShek?

Rex I'm 100% sure assigns a focus token to his ship, I think the trigger is "after you perform an attack that doesn't hit", it would fit the text:

Po tym, jak wykonasz [atak]

który nie trafi w c[el, możesz]

przypisać do swojego [statku]

1 żeton skupienia

It wouldn't be coherent with Gunner and Luke texts, tho, it'd essentially say the same, but with a different choice of words, which I guess could happen if different person translated it without looking at the previous cards.

Captured TIE is correctly predicted in the OP, except that pilots with lower PS not agility can't target you.

Will try to do some squinting to figure out the BoShek, but no promises, for some reason Quadjumper cards are harder to read than TIEs, I'm sure I couldn't decipher A Debt to Pay if I didn't know the text alredy.

Either way, you are a hero my man. Even knowing that EMP gives 2 ions (which honestly I guess I could have concluded when I saw a 2 myself lol) is a huge deal. I was worried it was only going to give 1. 2 is fantastic.

Thank you :)

BoShek:

[Kiedy wykonasz] [...] After you perform/execute

And here I gave up. I'm not even sure about this line :/

BUT

The first line doesn't list any restrictions, this card is not Scum only.
