They used the Legends 'Alliance Special Forces' for the artwork

Nifty
Thoygh rex crew is...eh (still looking for good ARC crew) the pilot is fascinating
Biggs has a new buddy!
Rex + Gunner popped straight into my head for 2-Crew ships. Not bad.
Also found the error
Adaptabilty rex, eh ffg?
Also 23 point ps 2 U, as projected from cass @ 27
Edited by ficklegreendiceStill nothing explicit about the Captured TIE modification but it seems clear you cannot be attacked while you have it but lose it if you attack. The question is whether you also lose it for things like detonating the EMP and dropping a bomb.

I don't think damage from the effects of bombs and the like count as "attacks". None of them specifically state "make an attack" on their card.
I like Rex and his condition. That could be very annoying. Especially with Biggs.
Kanan + rex = the horror of the 2 die torp scout

Doubly not bad when you take Luke Skywalker as the crew on another ship... at only one crew slot. Almost same effect for both ships!
Edited by jonnydRex without Biggs still has some merit. Just by himself he's an annoying 14 point ship that your opponent will want to get rid of. Leaves you a lot of points to play with.
Contracted Scout + EMP Device + Anti-Pursuit + Intel agent + Intimidation. What an annoying blocker that will be.
Edited by Jo Joi think the illicit is the big winner in this reveal. Thats nasty. Dunno about putting it on a squishy TIE but thats naaaasty.
Asohka....why? Why keep giving a supporty ability on a nonsupport ship? Focus > action isnt bad persay (still kinda crap since its taking her action to give one while other forms of this dont via pilot abilities) but thats going to leave her squishy tie wide open for attack. I liked Asohka in Clone Wars....such a disappointing ability
Have to admit though the captured tie is funny. VI Asohka, only VI PS9 pilots would be able to stop her from delivering the EMP. Thats dope. Not at all meta breaking but thats still dope and funny.
Also...anybody notice that thing isnt unique? You can run 3 of these things (Zeb sadly wouldnt work) and torp scouts CANNOT shoot you until you have an awesome position. now THATS funny!
edit: Derp, nvm, its got the Unique dot on there.
Edited by Vineheart01I just threw up.
You know whats funny?
Ashoka isnt "another friendly"
Also the tie is a vastly superior choice for this kind of support
Ffg learned from esege and shara!
Edited by ficklegreendiceThe u wing is 23. Interesting

Also it shows Ahsoka dropping a bomb after detonating an EMP which can't happen. The EMP causes everyone in Range 1 to get 2 Ion tokens, including Ahsoka. However this means that Ahsoka doesn't reveal a maneuver dial, and therefore cannot drop a Proton Bomb (unless the rules had been changed in the FAQ more recently than I have read it)
Edited by SDW740oh, found this weeks FFG screwup!
The list at the end. They show Rex with Adapt but no EPT on the card. PHAIL!
I dont often say this, but given the pilot abilities at play this expac is a winner
Fickle greens or not (at least theres biggs!)
Edited by ficklegreendiceI guess I'm going to have to get used to it but I'm not a big fan of the "assign a condition card" mechanic. I realize it isn't really any different than assigning ion or stress tokens but it still feels off.

Plus, even if it wasn't , this is Airen Cracken/Lieutenant Blount money for a support ship, not the most expensive dude in your squad.
Also....
In the subsequent round, with The Inquisitor and "Omega Leader" doomed to limp forward at Speed "1," Ahsoka deploys her Proton Bombs and executes her Speed "1" maneuver to get just outside of the blast radius.
Her what? Isn't this a TIE fighter?
And yes, Suppressive Fire plus Biggs is going to be VERY annoying.
Edited by Magnus GrendelAhsoka with Captured Tie, Stay on Target, EMP. Use Stay on Target to bump in to the front of the opponents top ace, use EMP, force them to bump in to you next round with no actions. Dead Ace next round.
