Regarding the new 2 white straight stress maneuver:

1) Getting stress pre-activation was already possible: a lower-PS ship with Saboteur could flip up a Thrust Control Fire on an already-stressed ship. There were possibly other examples as well.

2) You can't "game" it because every single ship already has a 2 straight green maneuver, which would (almost) always be better than the white version. For example, I suppose if you had a Wired Horton and you really wanted to go 2 straight but keep your 1 stress, but that's such an extreme corner case.

Good points!

Yeah, for #1 I'd say technically possible but practically impossible given the conditions required for that to happen. Specific critical hit card, plus having saboteur on the table plus the target programs a red maneuver. It has maybe happened a handful of times in the history of X-wing. Debris cloud could have been a much bigger problem.

For #2, that was more of a feeling than anything else. It may not be possible to really game that rule. I probably just felt that way because they were scrapping the previous mechanic.

One small area of improvement if you could please... Audio levels... I've needed to raise and lower the volume a bit due to louder music and sound effects and poor Phil back there. The joys of earphones feeding directly into the eardrums.

I like the analysis of the B Team segment. I may not agree with all points but I enjoy more the different opinions on things than the final answer. I'd love to submit my own B list for future analysis.

I'll pass this along. My (Phil) sound levels are probably a regular headache for Jake since my microphone is not the best. I either sound too soft or you get a lot of breathy sounds (and in last episode a lot of echoing) from me. I also do a good amount of editing when Jake isn't available. You can actually tell who edited a particular episode by the outro music. I use an Ewok chant and Jake uses a sample of the intro music.

i just thought of something hilarious about Rex.

Couple him with Kanan Pilot. Whatever ship rex shot at now has -2 red dice assuming Kanan had a focus. You can 100% nullify a 2die ships attack rofl.

Even Rex would be hilariously tanky when facing a single red die from a 3die ship.

We do take B-team submissions. There is the email or the Facebook page. We did a call out on the FB page, but I get it if not everyone wants to join it. It's not too bad, though.

As for microphones, I might actually have a better one! I had a decent gaming headset that was a bit old. When I upgraded to Win 10, there were no drivers for it. I still had them plugged into an older pc that I did upgrade to Win 10. Well, I found out they work on them now! Must have finally gotten the drivers for it. So, if I can get them to work on my good pc, I might actually sound better. If we did manage to get some money through T-shirt sales or something, it would be nice to get some new headphones for people.

No facebook but I'll see if I can access the page without needing to login.

Definitely not asking you guys to put on professional quality gear and broadcast equipment! Don't get me wrong, I know the budget is going to be hobby sized. That said I can think of a few Hollywood movies that range from whispers to wall shaking explosions in quick succession. Very dramatic in theatres, very hard to watch after my daughter goes to bed!
