@gabe69velasquez Your pilot ability for Rhys Dallows gives me the same gut reaction as Biggs and Lowhhrick. I’m disgusted. I don’t want to see any more Rebel pilots with abilities that would play into the Fairship Rebels archetype.

@Odanan Your “Wrench” astromech might be intended for Rhys Dallows, but it could be used on an ARC-170 with DTF and Jan Ors to make it another Fairship candidate. Yuck.

Please go back to the drawing board.

I was wandering through the Databank and found this guy: http://www.starwars.com/databank/ric-olie

Ric Olie makes 7 unique pilots, and we could put the generic Naboo Guard on the flip side of his ship base.

Ric Olie, PS6, “When defending, you may roll 1 less defense die to change 1 attack die to a (hit) result.”

Am I the only one who thinks this is ability is more situational the R3 or Reload?

This guy must be 80+ years old at the time of the Galactic Civil War. And am I wrong or that ability is helping twice the attacker (the enemy)?

Maybe, but does it matter? The game already has characters spanning the full 60+ years of canon timeline.

Possibly. You could change a Crit to a Hit, which helps against offensive abilities that trigger on crit results.

It is very situational, but better than R3 because it doesn’t hamstring your own offense. Ideally you would use the ability when the attacker has a crit and not many other hit results.

I was trying to follow the trend of other Rebel squadron leaders that don’t see any play because their abilities don’t really work on the table.

So, you could just change it for this:

"When defending, if not stressed you may change 1 attack die to a (hit) result.” or even "When defending, you may change 1 attack die to a (hit) result.”

And done.

Looking at the basic stat line: it's an A-Wing, a hair under A-Wing prices, without Chardaan refit or access to auto thrusters. Also its dial isn't as good.

I do like what you've done here. It looks interesting and fun. I just think the prices need to be adjusted a bit.

Yep, I can make it cheaper (by 1 point - because it has the excellent astromech upgrade. One other thing to make it different is to add the bullseye arc.

I really, _really_ like the Bullseye arc on 2 dice attackers.

It won't need to be that popular (we will get it soon).

But thanks for your contribution.

Am happy for any ship to join the game, more ships = more options.

It doesn't say that anywhere, lol. If you actually read the text you would have notice...
"Orbital Transfer Yards... Space tug pilots... Space tug pilots... CLASS: Space Tug."
And it mentions it has both atmospheric engines and (space) Ion Engines,
"...to perform in both atmospheric and spaceflight modes."
I can't help wonder what the heck you were (smoking) reading man,
but it can't have been the image you refer to.

"Turbine engine used for atmospheric flight", "Ion drive engages as ship leaves a planet's atmosphere".

Lower left.

Exactly. I never claimed that they stated that; only that they acknowledged it by even including two different kinds of engines to begin with. When I initially saw the turbines in the cut-away, I was inwardly groaning at the thought of putting those on a space tug, so seeing them specify that those are only for atmospheric flight was rather refreshing.

You said they don't work in space, it doesn't say they don't work in space.

In any case, I'm not trying to derail the thread...

Yeah but Battlefront II spans all eras of play.

Unless you mean that XWM should begin to span all eras of play like many other products (including some by FFG themselves) already do.

In which case, I'm all in.

Assuming these pilots survived into the Rebellion Era, I would be all for it.

Your ancestors' ability to infer meaning is why they didn't get eaten by tigers when they saw tall grass moving.

You guys kill me.

We've already got Maul, Ahsoka, Rex, and Hondo, all from the Clone Wars.

Kylo can fly with his dead grandpa.

We've got Tarn Mison, an X-Wing pilot that is actually never seen in battle that has a 0.0003 sec cameo on the ground on Hoth.

But then suddenly, come prequels, DON'T CROSS THE STREAMS ERAS!!

Agreed. I wouldn't mind crossing eras at this point, we already do. On the note of Kylo flying with his dead grandfather, I did that in Battlefront. In my best Kylo Ren voice I said to myself, "Flying with my grandfather has been... Exhilarating."

Then I played Onslought as Kylo and again in his voice raged about how these Resistance Troopers were interrupting my personal fitness training, "How else could I get such an athletic sprint!? I'm BUSY, CAN'T THEY SEE THAT!?"

It also doesn't say they do work in space. So by your own logic, they still don't work. Again, there is a difference between what is explicitly said and what can be reasoned from what has been said. You keep pointing out that it was never stated outright, but then again, no one was ever claiming it was. Did you have more of a point to make, or did you just feel you should keep repeating things that were never in question?

Yeah, but only under 2 scenarios:

1. You have eyes on your shins.

2. It was armed with a Red Rider.
