We waited this long for stuff we already knew?

The only thing that surprised me was the DT ruling.

I love the CC ruling so I can discard ships n squads. That really opens up fleet building.

I feel like they got FCT wrong? Now I can't use FCT to deal 2 face ups with APT and the standard? Only the APT is face up? Am I reading this right?

What is FFG trying to clarify with Admonition? "A ship equipped with Admonition can discard a single defense token while defending." The card says you can discard a token.

Meh. I'm disappointed. Shouldn't have taken this long. But this does show they really screwed up CC. Hopefully next time they write the rules more clearly.

Nothing to see here my post was wrong

I'm not perfectly versed in team orange or purple, but the way I understood the argument, this clarification makes it seem like you can do either.... I kinda like it that way.

Indeed.

Dras and I are already trying to hash out how it actually works.

Seems like team brown might win the day.

Am I right to assume from this that FFG sees no issues with the way flotillas or squadrons or the "activation advantage" in the game currently are?

Not starting crap, but I feel vindicated, so yeah, I'ma start some stuff.

I don't know why you would feel vindicated. Most of the people arguing for flot changes specifically stated they expected changes would come after worlds but that they wished FFG would release a FAQ on other matters before Worlds. So basically they got their second wish. First is still TBD.

I personally still expect FFG will release some meta-affecting changes after worlds.

If you're meaning this as sarcasm or a joke, it's going over my head. Sorry.

Worlds is in two weeks. I think most of the people expected flotilla changes expected them after World's. It feels unlikely that FFG would shake up the meta so heavily before then.

wasn't joking, I thought this was later in may

That jendon nerf doh

Just now, Undeadguy said:

???

Colonel Jendon can resolve his effect if he is not engaged or is unable to perform an attack due to some other effect.

I think they were trying to clarify that he can do so in addition to doing so while engaged.... it's not a nerf

With Rapid Launch bays, it seems like this:

I have a Pelta with Rapid Launch Bays, and 3 B-Wings in the Hangar.

I reveal a Squadron Dial.

What I know I can do :

I can place 3 B-Wings, and then have all 3 B-Wings Activate, and Shoot, individually. Caveats that all ships have to be placed, before any of them can shoot.

I can Place 2 B-Wings, and then have 2 B-Wings Activate, and Shoot, individually.

What I'm not sure I can do (but it would take no convincing for me to say I could):

If I only place 2-Bwings, and have 2 B-Wings Activate, and shoot, individually, can I also have a HWK-290 move and shoot with the 3rd unused Squadron command

If I can place 3 B-Wings, and not have them activate and shoot, so when my next activation hits, Yavaris can make them Double Tap.

What I'm sure I can't do, but someone will try to get away with:

Place 3 B-Wings, and then have 3 Other things do their squadron Commands, because I didn't actually activate the placed squadrons. That's just double-dipping.

Anyone else a little sad to not see DTTs and rerolls officially in here.... haha I suppose they just want use to "common sense" it.

Lol, love it.

Classic.

We got a email on this. Why didn't it make the FAQ?

All they had to do was state that placing = activating.

THAT WAS LITERALLY ALL THEY HAD TO DO.

This is why we can't have nice things.

"can activate"... oh ffs.

Is it just me, or is the RLB FAQ entry ambiguous? Worded differently, but still ambiguous.

Can you expand on why one wouldn't be able to? Not trying to start ****, just better understand why.

Fine...don't wanna fix flotillas, then it's time to seriously abuse them.

I haven't heard anyone saying they wanted changes AFTER worlds. I heard several people demanding changes now or else they'll quit the game because REASONS.

I will AGREE with everyones whos posted so far in this threads assessment of "probably post worlds" but I just wanted to clarify that I haven't seen anyone willing to wait for it.

Wait for it.

Wait for it.

Because you used your squadron command in order to place those squadrons.

Also, even if they were contemplating some major errata, they were never going to do it right before Worlds ...

I was a little surprised there wasn't something clarifying its interaction with Vader.

Okay, so if you use all your squad value to place all those squads, you can't activate other squads, only the ones you placed. can you choose not to activate the squads you placed? It states they "can" be activated but not necessarily must.

Indeed.

It looks like RLB pulls double duty (ha, duty. #teambrown).

It first allows you to place up to your squad limit on the set aside squadrons.

Then, once all those are placed you *CAN* activate those squadrons with the same command, but that clearly means they were not activated by the placing and the activation is optional, which leads to the inference that you can activate other things .

I read it like this:

Squad value 3
Reveal squad dial.
Drop 2 squads.
I can choose to activate them as a part of the placement, or leave them be.
I now have 1 more squadron point left to activate other squads that I did not place.

So placing and activating them count as the "squadron point". But I can choose not to activate, similar to not attacking or moving when you do it normally. But placing 1 100% counts as one of the squads that CAN be activated.

Man, I think only like one person said they were rage quitting, if we're keeping score. The rest of us were just trying to articulate our feelings from our experience with the game. It is possible that some of what was said got overlooked, though.

When JJ weighed in, he said something about wait and see being a good idea. I told him I can totally understand that stance, and most others agreed.
