Proud Rebel player here, xerpo. I've played Rebel since launch and that will NOT be changing anytime soon.

Same here.

Rebel rebel. Robble Robble? Anyways, same.

Just curious has anybody got ahold of any of the other card texts in those images yet?

I should hope not. Who'd write your articles if you did?

Not really. We were kind of able to parse out Leia Organa, but the others are really well obscured this time - at least to me... The picture when expanded isn't as clear as it normally is.

Depending on RLB FAQ I may have a new favorite ISD....

ISD one, Aresko, RLB, boarding party, leading shots and a nasty bomber wing (fire spays come to mind). Activate late, discard the token (from Aresko) to board and strip defence, launch and bomb away with the four sprays, then fire.... Anything in black or even blue range of the front arc is going to feal the pain, even a side swipe will hurt.

Boarding parties with either Screed or Sloane mean instant death to any Rebel ship. Boarding parties also mean that MC30 swarms are not an option any more. Heck I'm not even sure MC30s are viable any more at all! Just imagine your indestructible Admonition being stripped of defense tokens the second you get into close range...

I think what everyone means is that you have to compare apples to apples. This price in the preview article is retail, so compare that price to MSRP of other products. At least, that is what I think people are saying.

That is what I'm saying...... Retail of a small ship is never below 19.99.... So all I've been saying is that you can't complain about it being retailed at 40 because your local Target sells it for 17 and the entire conversation is based around retail.....

Stahp. There is sooooo much counterplay to all of this. Admo is still plenty viable.

No, it's true.

The MC30 is dead and gone.

Don't even bother with XI7's anymore please.

DCO is obsolete.

Targeting Scramblers? No need.

Thanks,

The guy with the MC30's

Oh! I will love her. I usually play with screen fighters. Now I have another job for my lovely interceptors. In fact maybe I add some phantoms.

But in all seriousness I'm terrified of mc30s since I saw how they blow up my ISDs

Drop an MC30 for 2 Hammerheads with Flechette, so long as one has a black AA die, and just shut em all down.

I'm more specifically concerned about the aces variant with a bunch of scatters and probably Ciena.

Edit: FleshTorps will help, you're right.

Why? Because impotent tie fighters might strip his defence tokens? And then what? They are still impotent tie fighters.

I have realised why I am not concerned by Sloane. I rarely run flotillas anyway.

As far as I can see, 1 version does: 1 black AA. I think it's the Torpedo Corvette, but can't be sure.
