Place your bets: How many of the Aussi tech gunships get ept upgrades? Or no because of fear of combining it with the reinforce action, like slam or the Lambda?

Bonus poll: will the Ps3 get one? Kinda need that.

The PS7 will definitely have one. The PS5 will probably have one as well considering the pack comes with multiple EPTs. I doubt either generic gets one but the inclusion of Intimidation gives me hope the PS3 might since it's better on low PS pilots.

All (almost) possibilities are open, just depends on how poor/great the dial is.

Unless i missed one, the trend FFG has been doing with 4pilot releases that have 2 generics is one is with EPT one is not. I imagine they realized that paying 2-3pts for +2-3PS is generally not going to do jack, you need PS6 to actually have the PS skill be a factor for bringing the pilot most of the time.

Im not sure what crazy combinations with Reinforce could possibly be out there. Yeah, PTL so you always get it is the obvious idea, but it only has 2 innate actions (focus, reinforce). Crew-wise, rebels only have focus generation for actions (yes i include Lando in there even though he technically generates evades too if luck is with you). Mod for barrelroll is a possibility but it has a 180 arc it probably wont ever need that.

If the PS3 generic has an EPT slot I could see it being pretty good with Intimidation and Zeb crew. Block an enemy ship, they bump into you and don't get actions, then you blast em' while their agility is lowered.

Actually that doesnt work sadly, i noticed that when i was doing that on Keyan.

Zeb says they dont count as touching when one of them activates if theyre in your firing arc. That means, you arent touching for Intimidation to trigger.

Its still a possible interaction though since it leaves 1 slot open for another crew (BoShek?) and intimidation still hoses him for your other ships' attacks

With the Reinforce action, I wouldn't be surprised if the most common EPT for the wookiees would be Predator to give them offensive capabilities.

Question: Could you PTL Reinforce to get the front token and back token, or would that still be considered the same action?

Even if they have different results, they are still the same action.

Gotcha. Thanks.

Either way the reinforce action is killer.

Give the ship PTL, C-3PO and Jan Ors and that ship can now evade 3 hits without trying.

Fair. Worried about its damage output that way, but it'll survive.

3 dice is pretty good, it has average of 1.5 hits.

Plus you can take M9-G8 for mods, or put Jan on a support ship and then you can take something like gunner or recon Specialist for more mods.

There are ways just you watch, this wooden ship is gonna be Tanky

Definitely tanky. No doubt about that. And it does have 3 att, I just don't have a lot of faith in naked performing when necessary. There are some good support options from other ships, though.

Better hope you attack from the other side :/

yeah, the upgrade line is going to decided how broken/lame/OP/paperweight material this ship is

Rage+Inspiring Recruits might be a way for offensive as well. More modding, 1 pt cheaper than predator, plus some resistance against outside stressors. Then is the dial the question, if you need Kanan or Nien, or have a crew slot open for other fun.

Rage/Recruit/Kanan is almost certainly going to be a solid choice.

I'd also expect that Engine Upgrade plus PTL plus Rey or Jyn will be good. Boost will move that big ol arc a LOT.

Wookie Commandos is 1pt and is better than Recon Specialist. I expect to see them stuffed full of furballs a lot of the time...

Combine that with Predator and you have a ship that's free to reinforce every round and always double-modding its attacks: stressed, bumped or otherwise. Not bad.
