EMP just cries out to be on a large base S&V ship... the area of R1 for a large base compared to a small just makes it such a difference...

Predator would love that PS2 Uwing spam.

Nice, I like that the Rebel faction are getting some new cool alibities and opportunties.

Ketsu Onyo with a pair of EMPs seems like a nice start.

Asohka....why? Why keep giving a supporty ability on a nonsupport ship?

Umm.....she is a great support ship. She can't be attacked by anyone with a PS less than hers. She can take a crew. She can spend a Focus to give someone else an action. That's an awesome support ship.

most importantly, she's cheap!!!

the K or ARC aren't support ships because they're expensive as all hell and have to be pulling some kind of weight at their costs

but Ashoka? A 17 point Tie fighter? Hell yeah!

besides, she can support herself (pre-combat barrel-roll)

this is the perfect support ship

Ahsoka is a wonderful support ship and the PS restriction makes an inyeresting dilemma because you can't use such a ship as a blocker.

i just noticed Asohka's ability works on herself...

OK, she just got awesome. I take back my first post about her having a lame ability lol. Focus, wait for them to attempt to arcdodge you, anti-arcdodge them before anyone shoots. Dope as hell lol

I like that idea a lot. Doesn't put her into great territory, but she's certainly better than I initially thought.

Throw an Engine Upgrade on her instead of the Captured TIE and PTL and you're good to go. :P

23 points for PS2 U-wing makes Rookies and Reds cry!

That dial better suuuuuuck. Like no K-turn suck.

Oh wait.

Really looking forward to the U and the TIE!

She can go with Recon Specialist and give out two actions a turn! It doesn't say only once.

touche.....

But the only way i see to give her a self-focus and benefit from some supporty crew (which are almost always actions) is either veto the VI for PTL, or use her as a kanan shuttle since hes actionless.

....

dude....have her follow Hyperdash around only Hyperdash doesnt have kanan, she does. Hyperdash now has VI because she throws a free action at him before anybody shoots and kanan clears any potential stress EITHER of them get.

Had a guy saturday say thats the one thing he hates about Dash is the PS7. If he cant reactively play he becomes a lot harder to use. I faced him with 3 PS7 guys and i said "You take init" and he gave me a deathglare lol (i know him)

It doesn't need to. The trigger is the Start of the Combat phase. Unless the phase somehow ends up happening twice in a single turn, she can only give out a single action regarless of the number of focus tokens she possesses.

Or just focus

No need to support the support. Just give her crackshot, let the dice fall where they may and let her make more important pilots shine

Feel weird that Ahsoka comes with this ship. Did she ever get inside it much less fly it?

This game used to have so much flavor.

Captain Rex with adaptibility when no EPT and TIE Fighter doing 1 forward... good job ffg.

Even if her ability was limited to just herself and she didn't have a good way to get more than one focus in a round it would still be a nice pilot ability. Being able to take a focus action at your PS and then being able to later trade that action for whatever the best action to have taken would have been is nice by itself.

I agree.

No she never even touched the ship. We see her in an A-Wing for a couple seconds but that's about it.

So I guess the question with EMP Device is that as long as it wasn't an FFG screw up with the 1 straight Tie Fighter, do you HAVE you assign two ion to you're own ship since it's at range 1? It doesn't say you can choose, so I would think if it's capable of doing so, you have to as you don't have a choice with your enemy ships within range 1.

Hence why i said later i take back my first post lol.

Also, yes the ion works on yourself. It says "each ship at range 1" which INCLUDES your ship and any friendly ships. Usually these things specifically state "other than yourself" when it can affect allies (ruthlessness) but this doesnt, so yes self-ion.

The FFG screwup is dropping a bomb on dial reveal when ioned. Not the 1fwd.

Yup. You EMP yourself.

If the ship just flys around giving out tokens, it seems a bit OP as it cannot be shot and just runs around getting in the way.

Unless of course if the ship uses abilities then it is exposed as being rebel?

Even better than recon

Rey maybe?

A really cool support ship for Rebels and Scum with Wave X, and Empire gets...tune in next week for BAT SHUTTLE!!

That's what excites me most about this preview.

I think it's actually very funny to wait and watch someone find the article mistakes and then see FFG make edits accordingly.

Advice to FFG: Don't hire a real editor...this sh*t's hilarious.
