There are two interesting card in Arquittens expansion:

Damage C*** is the first. My guess is it will disallow your opponent from triggering any critical effects. If im correct, this officer would work well on large ships with contain, but Id rather spend Arquittens contain to reroll with Vader.

Minister Tua will give one icon... but what upgrade slot would suit her 'personality' based on Star Wars Rebels? My guess is support or weapons team. Will she have a side effect? Is she just trading an officer slot for another upgrade slot?

I think we will get an article tomorrow anyway, hopefully spoiling these cards. So stay tuned for the next exciting/action packed article of FFG!

Wait till tomorrow.

I think the most likely explanation is that one of the titles gives Arquittens a second officer slot.

I doubt thats gonna happen. Would they make technically 2 almost identical titles? I rather believe she just trades officer slot for another upgrade slot.

Did she really do any damage control though? Isnt that what they killdd her for?

Why not? I'm assuming that she's in the officer slot and gives a ship a contain token. It looks like Arquittens by default only has two redirects and evade. Therefore to be able to use Damage Control Teams it will need to get a second officer slot. The way to do it is via the title (and it will somewhat mirror a title for Phoenix Home).

Minister Tau is 100% +Defensive Retro Slot, I say because it would be stupid for a new Defensive Retro Upgrade card to be introduced and only one friggin ship in the Imp Nav can use it. Unless it's better than ECM (and by all appearance it is discard 3 damage cards therefore it isnt better than ECM) nothing will replace it. Limiting facotors are i) cost, how much will she and ECM be? ii) if she adds an Icon or takes another one away. All i know is ISD I, VSD, Interdictor could all use it. Interdictor, Tau, ECM, Eng Team, Motti or Tagge = God Mode Been beating this drum since the first spoiler...please be + defensive retro slot or i cry

Unless it's better than ECM (and by all appearance it is discard 3 damage cards therefore it isnt better than ECM) nothing will replace it.

In a current bomber-heavy meta it is better than ECM.

I still brace more DoT than discarding 3...but I agree it is useful against bombers. So much so that I'm going to replace ECM totally? I still need to worry about MC30/Demo/ISDs and CR90.

-edit- @mm agree, depends on the ship, it could be fantastic there. Can I get some MC80 Assault Cruiser love now with ISD class hull

And MC-30's will LOVE it. With their redundant defense tokens you rarely need ECM, but if that is indeed it's effect you can effectively have 7-hull speed 4 black dice monsters

That cuts it awful close though. If you're at three cards, a sneeze will kill you. My experience with MC30s is once the shields are gone, it's pretty game over a heartbeat later. I like it a lot on MC80s though. Enough margin of error to make full use of the card and definitely good in this era of bomber insanity.

Hmm true, same issue that Medical Team faces on small ships. Getting to exicted by this new Wave so bored, to much excitement at potential. But speaking of Medical Team...

MC80 Assault Cruiser, ECM, Medical Team, Reinforced Hull for even moarrr. I don't think there is a such a thing as to much hull.

When I fly MC's I often have 1 or two hull left and then have to decide if I want to sacrifice the ship or flee. With these, if I've timed/planned it out properly and can activate it when I need to, i can get another round of fire from them, which could turn the tide. Agreed it's a timing thing, but that's the game isn't it

Support teams slot tua not possible? ?

Oh great, 16 hull ISDs!

Seriously, depending on cost, I think I will be all over that card with MC30s if it does what we think. It makes Precision Strike less problematic for 30s and kind of poos on APTs, which is something we need. Not only that, it allows us to ram a few times and not be as worried. I can get behind it. In a Sato meta, I might be ok with taking 2 damage and an APT if I know I can get rid of the card without throwing an engineering command.

17 hull you mean...

Good point on defensive upgrade slot, Trizzo2. I Think we can be 99% Sure about turbolasers being a default upgrade slot, given those red dices the ship has. So, it really leaves support or defensive for Tua to provide. The question is... Wich would cause smaller uproar within the rebels... With support, imp side would get a lot mobility, and we get jerjerrod for the same role. Ecm for vsd-s, imp1-s, gladiators... Hm. Wouldnt be bad. That way vics would be Hands down the winners of w5 Getting some mobility and survivability.
