Go Rogue - New Article Announcement

By ViscerothSWG, in X-Wing

I really wana know what the criteria for base size is

Both the k and ARC seem comparable to the U

And while iggy is a tiny model, it's incredible Statline, action and upgrade bar merits a large base,weakness

The U seems neither large enough a model nor good enough a ship for a large base

It's 9 points cheaper than an Aggressor for a statline that is just a single agility less (assuming you take the title and leave in the +agility mode).

I'm laughing that the U-Wing gets toggle-able S-foils before the X-Wing does.

And confused about the adaptive ailerons. It reads like you get an extra 1 speed before your normal maneuver, but the article reads like it replaces your dial.

It reads to me like you get an extra movement too, not a replacement maneuver but the writer of the articles have gotten it wrong before.

They've already corrected the article.

I am so excited to pick this set up!! That Tie Striker is going to be sick on the Table. Nothing but Awesome Suprises coming out of Fantasy Flight!!

Also no post manuever movement action and no cheap title granting it that either

AND no evade

More like a g1a with sometimes +1 agi which is often effectively worthless (see my name)

Also no post manuever movement action and no cheap title granting it that either

AND no evade

I prefer to think of it as a T-65 with an extra hull, two extra shields, that trades its Astromech slot for a pair of crew slots and a system slot. It's the same price but comes on a large base instead of the small.

Considering the t65 just isn't good, thsts not something you want the U being comparable to

Esp when it is 4 times as,large a target

I'd pay 9 points for boost, evade, an extra agility, most likely a better dial, and the ability to trade for some of their pilot abilities.

Wow, that U-Wing on a large base looks so ridiculously bad. I don't get why it's not a small-based ship...even with it's chopstick wings it's still only about K-Wing bad on overhang and has roughly the same surface area as the Star Viper. The frickin' large peg is about as thick as the miniature...


Also, jeez, Jyn Urso is baaaaad.


Exciting, but also immediately disappointing.

Face 3-4 jousters you wont think Jyn is bad when you got a focus for every defense roll

poor crackswarm :P

note I don't think Jyn is really good, but the fact that she's "friendly" (note not "another friendly") can make her more flexible than just a sometimes 1 point cheaper Recon Specialist

What is this, Wave 3?

The only list these days with that many ships is a Crack Swarm, and they'll chew up Biggs or whoever else gets Jyn's Focus if you joust with them...so jousting them is still a terrible idea.

But by all means...

I see her working well as a crew with Thane Kyrell (ARC-170)

Jyn seems rather awesome for your typical action starved rebel list. Nothing meta warping, but at least it seems like a useful crew at a reasonable price. The opportunity cost isn't even that high considering the sad action bar of the U wing either. The synergy with Biggs alone might make it worth its points and then some, or even Poe.

Hey anyone have an idea on what the ept on Striker could be??

Newsflash: Jyn works on the ship shes on. It does NOT say "other friendly ship"

and theres plenty of jousters out now with wave9 and vets.

Put Jyn on Thane and a recon specialist on kanaan and this list gets even more fun

Put Jyn on Thane and a recon specialist on kanaan and this list gets even more fun

problem is Thane is pretty pillow fisted, and without tailgunner he's just a tie fighter

would rather have Jyn on a U-wing, appropriately enough

....wait...how the crap did i not notice that Kanan's ability doesnt specifically work on him? ive been using him for awhile and i only ever used it when HE got targeted. But it doesnt say when hes being attacked...

wow thats annoying. He can make Biggs last even longer lol

And yeah thats the main ship i thought about Jyn on. I already do EI + Lando for extra focus after doing a recon spec focus action, she would remove the randomness from Lando, but would also not potentially work at all given positioning.

Also anyone noticed that Jyn just says firing arc? AUX/SPECIAL ARCS FTW BABY!

If Jyn is in an ARC-170, does she get the a focus token for ships in both her front arc AND her rear arc?

Awesome ships and cards!!!

What about a YT-2400 fringer with Cassian Andor and Black Market Slicer Tools (with or without Anti-Pursuit Lasers). Best blocking ship available

yes, but trust me here

1.) getting enemies in both arcs simultaneously is rare as hell

2.) ARCs without tailgunner (or gunner in r3-a2 braylen's case) are severely underwhelming

Do we think or know if the U-Wing's wings will actually move ?

Connect the dots:

:P

Why is a 1 agility ship coming with stealth device?

So it can be a 3agi ship with the wings open.

Stealth device comes with a 2agi ship after all (firespray)

However as we have learned thoughout the years, SD is terribad on 1-2agi ships. Better off with a hull upgrade and solidify that extra "dodge" (and hope it wasnt a crit) than run a high risk of never getting anything out of it.

The U-Wing mini & cards look awesome! Can't wait to get my hands on it.

Good job FFG!
