No mention of rapid launch bays..... so I guess we'll need this FAQ ASAP.

One of the most anti-climactic articles I guess

hence the title

Confirmation that they are due to be available next Thursday at least!

Hmm... By the time we see the next preview, it seems Corellian Conflict will already be buyable. I still don't know how the campaign's core game mechanics function, but I'll be buying it anyway.

there's an article for that

I get the impressions that FFG got surprised that they were able to release the expansions at this time. The lack of articles for a long time followed by the rapid fire release of the articles kind of speaks to this.

Edit: Nvm, relay is passive. Ignore

So everything from CC and Wave 5 is known ...

...except for the Tie Advanced squadron cards from CC?

*Lancer is amazing. Bomber, Grit, Rogue, black dice vs. ships for 15 points , why was the Firespray 18 points again?

2 more hull and 2 blue bomber

Wait... Are the Imperial squads grey or black? That's huge for us that color ours.

Oh hey nice thread

Also -1 speed and loosing Grit.

Don't get me wrong Firesprays are nice, I just like YT2400 and Lancers a lot better points/effectiveness wise.

Lancers, while ugly, will be worth every point spent.

Geez FFG, can't rebels get a decent looking good ship for once? (looking at you, assault frigate mark 2)

Let me see if I understand Relay correctly. Say I have a ship with Squadron 2. I have two generic Ghosts with Relay 1, both are far away from my ship and far away from each other. If I resolve a squadron command on my ship, can I activate both Ghosts? They include themselves in the Relay 1 requirements, and I'm not limited to only using one relay point or something a turn, right?

From what I can tell, you're not actually Activating the VCXs when you bounce Squadron Commands through them... Just that they're basically Nodes for Squadron Commands... Of course, they are within Distance 1 of themselves, so you could use it to activate them.

And if we use "Multiple card, multiple effect" Reasoning (Which makes BCC and Targeting Scramblers stack), then yes... Squadron 2 from a Ship, on a Dial, could bounce 1 through 1 VCX, and 1 through another VCX... Anywhere on the Table... Weather that activates the VCXs or another Squadron within 1-3 of them, is up to you....

Edit: never mind, I missed that you said exactly that...

So you could activate a Relay ship, move it, and activate a squad at range 1-3 of that. Pretty nifty.

If your Relay Ship was within Close-Medium of your Squadron Command Ship to start with...

Because Only one can be bounced through a VCX in this case - and if the VCX is far enough away to need to be the recepient of the Relay - then you'd need a different command to then Relay to someone else...

A Lambda on the other hand...

TIE Phantoms sure like to hang around space stations. Whisper could theoretically heal up to six hull points in a single round without any help.

wait, if I want to activate a shuttle at long range without boosted comms, can I since it has relay?

It is at distance 1-3 of itself. So yes.

Doesn;'t have to be Long Range, either.

It can be anywhere on the Table...

And you could then potentially use the second relay order to then order someone within Distance 1-3 of it.

I think so but it takes up one of your relay points.

edit - Dras beat me to it

Indeed! Lambdas and Gozantis are going to be best friends.

Interesting how the +1 Relay on the Lambda is worth the same points as +2 hull and much better anti-squadron, by the way.
