... heeeey. Anyone notice that Jabba has no mechanical effect in the expansion pack he's released in? Scyks and Epics don't have any illicits at all! :blink:

Yup, it's a really weird choice for my money. I'd've liked to see him saved for the Star Jewel with lots of lovely Illicits.

It's also weird that a smuggling freighter doesn't come with any illicit goods :(

Of course not. None of the items in the pack can use it :D

I mean, they could have stuck an illicit slot on the croc just cos

Glitterstim wouldn't be that broken on it.

Not at all, with just one hardpoint slot, making it all focused-multidice roll would be totally fine (supercharged battery+glitterstim). What a shame.

And what was C-3PO supposed to do on the Tantive IV?

Works perfectly fine against range 3 attacks.

You work perfectly fine against range 3 attacks.

I work much better attacking enemies that i'm touching.

At least that's what your mum told me yesterday.

I'm not your mother.

Also, that Star Destroyer was definitely attacking at Range 1.

No, definitely not. She's much better at Xwing rules than you, at least she knows that C3P0 works perfectly fine on the corvette.

I had a flash....since FFG is watching the forum (the fixes, the erratas, now Jabba...a lot of us were guessing around illicit extramunition tokens)...I wonder if the new Kihraxz fix will be equip illicits for 0 points, or -2, or whatever. There were some players that guessing around a discount over illicits for kihraxzes....CARTEL Spacers...then Jabba will be valuable enough over double 0 cost glitterstims, etc..

Mmm...it makes sense to me.

Uuuh we have a bully here.

C'mon mates, it sounds really weird into a miniature game forum.

And Jabba works perfectly fine on the C-ROC, providing extra Illicits to the rest of your fleet. Are we done here?

Mate, you started the childish argument, not me.

Jabba does nothing for the CROC itself.
C3P0 allows the corvette to ensure one evade at range3 every turn he is shot at.

Task for you, spot the difference.

That's fair. I know not everyone appreciates my sense of humor.

Now go apologize to your mother for bringing her into this! :P

This is very tempting to write another "your mum" reply, but the force is strong with me today, so I won't ;)

Yup. Spot the "deliberate" mistake time.

It costs a minimum of 35 points to field him (29 for the YV, 5 for Jabba and 1 for an illicit to use him on) so he's occupying more than 1/3 of your list. His effect had better be AMAZING. And it's just not.

Especially when it costs you two crew slots you could have had more useful crew in. I honestly rarely bring illicits unless I happen to have a point spare, I can't see having to spend 34 points to get EM being worth it.

I almost think the whole point is to do what they thought they did with the Emperor, make a character that is really nice in Epic but really too expensive for the competitive meta. Emperor managed to be too powerful even at 2 slots and tons of points so this time they toned it down.

The only illicit i could possibly see being broken on the CROC is EMP...if you dive it to try and kill it it will blast a HUGE area with ions, possibly running you over easily since it still sets a dial, just gets 2 less energy.

Not sure why the CROC doesnt have an illicit..or two. I mean, its an illegal shipment vessel!

Probably due to the nature of the Illicits. Too many questions. How does Glitterstim work on a big ship? etc. SLAM would have been hilarious

Glitterstim would work just as it does on any other ship.

SLAM wouldn't be legal because it's Large Ship Only and huge ships are not large ;)

Reducing potential questions is simply part of good game design.
Also: "would have been"
