Nerf Ray Shield. It gives Talonbane regen and a new maneuver. So OP.

I get that, I do. I just mean that the cases where her ability will actually have a chance to save her will be, I suspect, rare. It may play differently than I think it will.

I think the defensive use will be more common if she has the Pulse Ray Shield upgrade. It won't probably be that unusual to have 1 shield and 1 hull left.

What is the agreed and correct pronunciation of Scyk? Because I've heard a lot.

She's friends with Serissu isn't she? " When another friendly ship at Range 1 is defending, it may reroll 1 defense die. "

I'm not sure that Serissu will help here. With the way that the card is worded it seems like the matches might need to come from the set of dice that are rolled (or rerolled)?

Actually, that would make rerolling a single die a guarantee of doubling the result. It's probably got to be the entire pool.

Ugh, lost my reply to a bunch of other stuff, but for the Rebel HWK with Pulse Shields: "Leebo" crew. You can only do 1-striaght, but you get an Engine Upgrade and regen for the same 4 points.

Wonder if Arc Caster has spot as secondary cannon on the Agressor. Paired with HLC, that's a way to trigger B's ability at all ranges and throw 4 dice no matter what.

Possibly, if it cost only 1 point. IMO, Aggressors can't afford to spend 9 points on cannons. Also IMO, Aggressors can't afford to self-inflict damage, and this would do that to them. Almost always. So, generally, "nope."

(I can't believe I'm saying this, but) I think the ARC should have been 5 dice, and "the number of attack dice rolled with this weapon cannot be increased." Between the cost, the ship it's on, the big drawback, and the cool-down, I just don't see it making a splash (*rimshot*) at only +1 attack dice.

I think that it is Seek.

That was one thing I lost in my post: IG-88A! "Oops I just hit myself. Oops, you're dead and I got my shield back." Still too expensive/not good enough, but

Sunny Bounder

• Best Name in X-wing ever. I'll call her Bounder for Adventure.

• Great choice as a blocker and/or evade factory for Swarm Leader.

• “After you roll dice" means you need the same result showing before the "modify dice" step or use a target lock to reroll dice. If you are crazy enough to put an HLC on her, the crit to hit conversion happens in same timing window so... it's still a bad idea.

• Actually pairs fairly well with Serissu. It’s the only way I have come up with for a Scum ship to reroll defense dice during the modify step. You can spend your focus token first if you really need the added result and just hope?

Inaldra

• Light Scyk. Mindlink. Profit!

• Ability is mostly garbage but she has an EPT and is cheap.

Quinn Jast

• I’m not feeling it yet but could work in a list full of heavy hitters?

• Prockets and VI?

• Seismic Torpedoes = Clear Skies? Weapons disabled doesn’t even slow you down because seismic are an action. Can’t shoot on the turns where you seismic though.

• The every other turn could work to get TL and focus shots but man does that ship want to blow up.

Genesis Red

• Pair him with Talonbane Cobra and Dace Bonearm for the most metal squad ever !

• An interesting addition to Mindlink lists. Same PS as Ketsu and Bossk. Also does well against mindlink lists.

• VI and Mangler looks good but I think anything without Mindlink is just swimming upstream.

The CORRECT pronunciation is 'Skik', but even I use the common 'Seek' because I'm not going to correct people over some obscure fictional spaceship.

I think people are underestimating how good the shield regen is. This looks like a real solid expansion and the cannon and mod being available to rebels as well suggests to me that they likely have something else planned which can take advantage of at least the mod. The cannon could also be interesting on a yt2400 without title. Gives a solid in arc punch to help one of the lower ps pilots be bothersome.

I suppose the crux of the issue is whether or not you can reroll 0 dice with Serissu. If you can, as long as all your dice are the same going into the reroll it should work.

Would Focus tokens on the Rey crew card count as being on the ship for purposes of Genesis Red?

No. Serrisu specifies 1 die, not something like "up to 1 die".

I find it unlikely that FFG/LFL would give a "Scum and Villainy" ship a name with pronunciation equivalent to a RL religious sect.

https://www.google.com/search?q=sikh&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

It's "sick." Or possibly "psych."

When without another reference, it only makes sense to use real-word analogs. The closest analogs that are common are "Scylla" and "scythe."

"Sick" makes funnier puns, so that's the one I'm sticking with.

So who's eyesite / image zoom is good enough to start giving totals for what's in the C-ROC box?

It looks like there's 5 ARC Cannons, 6 Light Scyk titles...

I could see the argument that Rey is on the ship and therefore so are the Focus tokens.

The Pulse Ray Shield and Arc Caster (cannon) are both "Rebel or Scum Only" could these two upgrades help the B-WING? If you take both it means you lose the title and therefore the crew slot but may be worth it..maybe

B-wing can't take pulse ray shield and I don't see arc caster helping them since they get four dice at r1 anyways

You can make many logical arguments that have no bearing on game rules. The tokens are on the Rey card, not on the ship. Do what the card says. Don't let rational thinking distract you from game mechanics. They are often compatible but not always.

Pulse Ray is limited to 1shield ships so no it wont help the bwing.

ARC wouldnt help it because its already got a 4die attack at range1. No spill over but who the hell cares about the splash damage

edit: dang it

I can't see any reason to let Rebels have the Arc Caster. A really cheeky Wild Space Fringer?
