I am more excited than I thought I would be for these ships. The TIE Aggressor looks like it'll be a ton of fun and the Y-Wings may have more than just a TLT purpose. Excited for all three of these!
Wave 11 article is up!
derp, nvm i see the only now. Still an odd choice of words since that feels like a big dump on grammar school to me but meh. I still saw what they were going for without the Only it was just confusing.
Just now, nigeltastic said:What card are you reading? "Your attack dice may only be modified by spending a focus token for its standard effect" means no target lock, no predator, no emperor, no sensor jammer, nothing but spending a focus to turn eyeballs to hits.
Exactly. And it costs a focus token to fire them, so you won't have one to spend to modify anyway. Looks like a horrible missile unless I'm forgetting how Attack:Focus works.
This seems like a very cool wave so far and reinforce seems to be handled extremely well imo. Wookie commandos does seem like hot garbage tho unfortunately (1 point 2 crew you can reroll eyeballs when attacking)

It also means your opponent can't do anything to your attack dice at all.

Don't have to spend the focus unless it tells you to do so. You just need one to declare the attack.

Where does it say to spend the Focus token? You just have to have one.
Edit: NM, been covered

You are. It's like proton rockets. Attack [thingy] just means you must have the thingy to shoot. See homing missiles as well.

20 with Lightweight Frame.
5x 3-attack, 6 hull, 3 AGI ships.

You are. Attack: blah just means you must HAVE blah to attack. The requirement to spend it is specified in the card text - c.f. the difference between Homing Missiles and Concussion Missiles.

Looks like it's more if you're defending against an attacker in arc or out of arc. So it's not a blanket defense like the Epic version; if you're both in and out of arc of two different defenders, that token is only going to help you against one of them.
It was bad enough making me wait on Jabba....but now you dangle Cad Bane in front of me ? How much of this do you think I can take FFG !

It doesn't, you just need to have one.
On further pondering an interesting card. 5 Bombers will certainly be something to try. Only question is what to do with the 10 floating points. 5 Seismics? Pretty fun idea. Lightweight Frames to combat TLTs who will surge in popularity purely because of a new platform? These new Scimitars will be radicaly different from what they used to be, but they sound like lots of fun. If challenging to fly, since any K-Turn reduces your primary for at least one turn.
Edited by Admiral DeathrainWrote 4 meant 5, might need to buy a 7th Bomber...
Took me a moment to realize why they limited the Havoc title for the Scurrg to unique-only Salvaged Astromechs (After getting over my excitement about another ship to use Genius on)... There is a red speed-3 Talon Roll shown on the dial.... If that thing could take an Unhinged Astromech...

...but for those that miss and want these ICONIC vessels, just search "mel miniatures" on Shapeways. Booyah!
Havoc title -> R5-P8 in rebel squadrons.

My Ginivex nods in agreement

Can't, it's still a salvaged astromech slot.
For the Intensity card, I would be very curious to see the "not exhausted" side of it. Too bad it's small ship only though.

Cutlass Squadron with Unguided Rockets comes in a 23pts., 25 if you want to add Lightweight Frame for 2 Agi with 9HP and a 3 die, 1-3 range secondary that can't be modded by you or the enemy except by your own Focus.
System slot is opened up for other things now as FCS is no longer needed, AC doesn't work. Sensor Jammer for more tankyness, but that's kind pricy at 4 pts. Collision Detector for 0 or maybe some niche cases for Adv Sensor boosting since Hux is a thing* and you may be getting your Focus token elsewhere but I don't know about that.
Opening up the mod slot for LWF though is a good thing IMO.
* and Fanatical Devotion still works with Unguided Rockets

It isn't faction specific.

The Scurrg title gives it a salvaged astromech slot

Yeah, but Focusregenbot is not a Salvaged Astromech. This also means rebels get to try unique Scummechs!
