Can anyone explain why they are including two copies of Stealth Device with the U-Wing? I thought maybe one of the new crew would make it useful on a ship with less than 3 agility but as that is not the case I am can't understand why they included it. SD was already available in two other expansions so it's not like they are in short supply either.

Theme.

IIRC, no Rebel ships have been released with Stealth Device yet. This is a good pack to bundle it in with, and you get 2 with one purchase.

Think about as a fluff addiction. Rebels really didn't want to found at the time.

didn't have time to draft up something as insulting as r3, opted for stealth device instead

course the theory is you stack it with pivot wing and jyn and other token generators ala Jan/Rey etc.

practice isn't so rosy, though

because money $

Yeah, this. I think they're trying to make each faction self sufficient, and this goes some distance towards that.

It is a weird choice. Sensor Jammer is nice, because it's good and you may not want to buy a lambda if you don't play imperials. But, I guess, as noted there's no rebel ship with it. Not that any rebel ship tends to use it....

As a Scum player with plenty of Autothrusters, I hope you lot will share your Jukes and tech upgrades.

Sensor Jammer is odd, it looks good on paper but really needs to be run with other cards like Juke and Hot Shot Copilot to achieve any sort of reliability. Otherwise most of the time your opponent will simply shrug and spend a Focus token, especially scum with OCR.

It also competes against FCS at half the points. Sometimes the best defence is to kill your enemy with a hail of target-locked blaster fire!

to help cut down on the individual card market ..... if there is a surplus of great cards they wont sell online for silly money

I think SD and SJ are a big sell for Rebel only buyers. For me it adds greater value for money to the expansion.

This. If someone plays "only rebels" they have no way to get this card, until now.

But if someone plays "only rebels" will they ever want to use stealth device?

Well, with Smuggling Compartments out Stealth Device could be fun on a YT freighter.

Hey! we got tie fighters now! So, Probably not but its possible!

Captured Tie is a better defence although it does prevent you from shooting.

Not on the lower pilot skill ones. Also, was definitely not saying its the ideal choice and was being sarcastic.

That said, you could run PTL Sabine in sabines tie with Illicit cloaking and SD and then recspec . Would be pretty hilarious.

Edit: you also have no idea where that ship is going. In one turn it can.

Decloak-Sabine boost (or BR)- push for evade or focus-Move (maybe clear stress)-BR

I now want to run that Sabine build just for LOLs.

Rebel source of it, probably no other reason.

Uwing comes with so much crap that i dont care it came with 2 more of a card i almost never use.

As for the Uwing itself, no..bad idea. I faced someone trying that very thing where he had Jyn/Jan on board which gave him a focus/evade from my 2 ships in his arc. Only one even had a shot since i was ignoring hiim and going for the Poe, still took out his SD in one shot. A 3die shot at that - he rolled evade blank blank.....focus didnt help him so 1 damage went through.

SD should have been cheaper, but its so gnarly on 3agi ships that i cant justify it being cheaper lol.

That, or shield damage doesnt remove it (which i think the only 3agi ship that would abuse THAT is the defender, and im still scared to field that w/o mk2 lol)

SD should cost X points where X is the base agility of the ship being upgraded.

Simples!

Oo, me likey.

I would slap that on so many 1-2agi ships for the hell of it because theres usually no good 1-2pt mods for a ton of those ships. Unless theyre ordnance boats, as theres only a handful that i'd put VTs on.

Would this make a sold ship? A focus and evade token every turn? Hard to block it with it's low pilot skill.

Blue Squadron Pathfinder (33) U-Wing (23), Fire-Control System (2), Recon Specialist (3), Jan Ors (2), Pivot Wing (0), Stealth Device (3)

Or if your pilot skill is higher than theirs, so spending focus in defending against your attack means they have no focus to spend on their OWN attack. Or you had Wes shoot them first, so he already stripped their tokens. Or etc...

Sensor Jammer is surprisingly annoying in a LOT of circumstances...
