It did happen! Scum Epic!

By RogueLeader42, in X-Wing

Another epic ship...

Yay! :)

...that includes a non-epic ship and upgrade cards.

Boo! :angry:

Sigh* New scyk title packaged with epic ship. But I don't care about epic. Therefore, FFG must not care about me. I was hoping they wouldn't do this again what with the scyk FAQ change. If Jabba the Hut is auto-include like Palpatine, the money-grabbing will officially be at catastrophic levels.

PSA : If you don't play epic, please don't purchase this ship. Cinematic play sounds great if you can manage it though.

That's not actually a PSA. It's more of a SSA.

Finally i can play the battle of Nar Shaddaa :)

I am sad that Jabba is in the fan, as it means we are unlikely to get his cruiser as the "big" Epic. Still, looks great.

Okay so getting ready to retire my kit. I'll keep it up until this is out (and by out I mean buy it on shelf.

So couple of notes on the effects for standard play off of what has been revealed (goes without saying, this is from incomplete information).

  • Scum will have a side board. So instead of taking 1 illicit why not take all the illicit. equip one illicit and you can exchange down but never up. so glitterstim to feedback array or hot shot blaster to cloaking device.
  • Scyk will have a corrected card and anew light one which will make it cost as much as a TIE-Fighter/Z-95 Headhunter. Along with that all banks are green but if you get any damage cards they are face up. The face up damage is not that bad but I don't think the green banks is what it really needed. I don't see a scyk swarm coming any time soon.

*grumble grumble*

Black mirror is a really cool series. Also, gotta love that wierd folder of cats laughing :)

• PS1 pilot is definitely unique. There is a dot next to the name.

• 5 identical cards in the 2nd row of the fan - "Arc" - appear to be cannon upgrades.

• The five modifications in the 3rd row of the fan appear to read "Pu" or "Pl"

• Is that (two) Bith next to the "Arc" cards?!

But I don't care about epic.

Your opinion is wrong, and you should feel bad.

I'm only kidding of course, but Epic is seriously awesome and if you don't get to play it much, you're seriously missing out. Buy the Huge ships because they're awesome and Epic/Cinematic play is awesome too.

Yessssssssssssssssss!!!! I saw the article and before reading it came here to find the thread about the article just to say, Awesome! Okay, now I'm going to read the article. Be back in a bit.

Ironically, this is the first post I've been able to Like since the rate limit. :)

Man, I had to triple check to make sure there wasn't anything _bad_ on my computer before hitting screenshot.

Cats Laughing is a folk band headlined by fantasy writer Steven Brust. They recently had a reunion gig. Awesomely, they once got a cameo in a marvel comic from (I think) the 1980s.

Did I miss something? Has FFG changed its business modus operandi to that of a non-profit company? Has Disney, Hasbro, etc. done the same? Have we progressed to a level of post scarcity economics, technological prowess that offers in home replication of the game pieces at the current level of production or quality? Have X-wing miniatures become an actual necessity of life?

The reason I ask is, unless any or all of the above has come to pass, the term "money-grabbing" borders on the moronic.

Oh... there you are Perry.

Looks like they fixed the base on the Scyk pic.

Spot the error is the best part of new updates.

Sadly the one down side to Rogue One is it invalidates the Phineas and Ferb Star Wars..

Therefore FFG should ship out empty boxes and charge a million dollars per empty box. Because they're not a charity!

HYPERBOLE!

funny mistake

I think this was done on purpose so they havn't spoiled any of the Syck pilots, well their names anyway

Things I'm looking at already:

Merchant One allows you to take 3 crew. Dengar, Zuckuss, 4LOM and Heavy Laser Turret for Epic Party Bus? Only use defensive actions, always get rerolls on attacks, and mitigate defense dice at the penalty of one energy next turn (from 4LOM's ion token). Thoughts?

Also, you can give it Comms Booster and make Dengaroo stress free OR eliminate Dengar's need for Manaroo. This way, he can barrel roll or Target Lock every turn and fire a bunch of Torpedoes, and then be dangerous and resilient without his usual penalties. Thoughts?

Looks like it comes with no less than ten 'money' tokens.

I guess this means Jabba - or at the very least, another crew member somewhere - will be doling out an Extra Munitions effect for illicts. Where this gets interesting is in providing reliability to a cloaking device or other random-chance-discard.

I'd kinda hope he was an anti-ace tech, though - Palp (by dint of his once-per-turn ability) favors smaller groups. Would've been fun if Jabba (by dint of a everyone-vs-one mechanic) favored having a horde flying with him...

Super surprised to see no tractor tokens in the spread. I would have expected a heavy tractor beam hard point to be included.

Since this seems like the scum counterpart to the Rebel GR-75 Transport/Imperial Goznati Carrier I expect another Epic Expansion pack for Scum in the near future. One that is more comparable to the CR-90 Corvette/ Imperial Raider. There might be some heavy tractor beam tokens that can move even large ships.

I don't think they make a Plano to fit this sucka.

It finally happened!!!Let us eat, drink, and be merry my brothers!!!
