It's all about the Flight Controllers! That swarm to obstructed and Flight controlled TIE will be wonderful and terrible to behold. All will look upon its beauty and despair. Time to dust off the TIE/fs.

Don't forget the titles

Maybe easy to miss between those tasty new upgrades but...SPEED 3!!!

I love to see you guys being happy for the ship. But Im sad. Yes, the expansion brings good upgrades, but the ship itself is quite... meh. Too squishy and too expensive. Imps really need a cheap ship. Rebels gonna get yet another cheap vessel, its gonna be like 4-5 ships on imp side vs 5-7 rebel... I just cant spam gozanties to get viable numbers of ships.

Cheapest medium ship in the game. In fact the all blue version is what cheaper than a Nebulon

I'm extremely curious about Quad Battery Turrets. More flack dice? Better flack dice? Possibly in a turbolaser slot?

New Rhymerball nosepunch range is hilarious. I'm gonna start getting phone calls telling me I've taken six damage, two days before the game.

Now I just gotta figure out a way to cram an upgrade card that requires an offensive slot, onto Dodonna's Pride.

It will definitely be offensive retrofit, since Quasars don't have Turbolasers. My dreams of Needa/TRC antisquadron attacks are dashed.

What the heck @Green Knight ?! Vassal hasn't been updated yet?

This isn't a union job... chop chop!

Jokes... You know I love you.

Is anyone else very disappointed that "Disposable capacitors" read "only small and medium" instead of "only large ships" ????

That would have made no sense since the quasar is medium base.

Until someone pops the carrier. Then your swarm of generic TIEs is...very, very generic.

And this is definitely quite the fragile ship.

Its not about the size. Hurray, Konstantine got a new toy, just like the boring Motti. Still Imps have no CHEAP ship. If you compare the similar ships both sides, Imps have the more expensive, always. You'll get out-activated almost every game playing versus rebels as imp. I dont think its close to fair or balanced.

We talked about what kind of things we can do with that.

Let's talk about what kind of things we can do against that:

-Ackbar will love those quasar. More with some accuracy producer.

- Mithel will love take the Stronghold...from inside.

Quasar Kallus :D

Uh, the Space Whale which is the ONLY medium Rebel ship is more expensive than this. The Shrimp frigate is more expensive.

This would be more persuasive if the Clonisher hadn't happened.

Quasar seems like a super great ship! Im glad the price is relatively cheap.

I could see a dual ISD and Quasar fleet becoming a real threatening list.

Can you imagine an ISD-II with Capacitors and Kallus going ham on a Rieekan ball for one round at long range?

No. I cannot. And you won't see that. swm26-disposable-capacitors.png

Only against ships.

Okay. Let me rephrase it: Show me a cheap good Imp ship. Ship, not flotilla.

Wait nooo it's only battery armament.

Disposable capacitors are definitely interesting and will bring new life to the several ships and cards.

VSD2 becomes a solid ship, flotillas are now much less invincible (especially if a Relay is fixed)

I have to wonder if a several 66 points NK7-VG-DC Raider2 would be worth the investment.

Well yeah... But until that happens you will make it hell for the Reeikan Aceholes to get through to you. And some serious intel will be very necessary for them to get through the cloud.

I'm a bit confused about this:

And they can prove deceptively effective if, for instance, you discard your Disposable Capacitors and strike with five blue dice at long range.

Given that Capacitors don't seem to add any dice. How are they getting five?

Close enough, I guess...

It has potential. Especially with Vader. All the blue-crit upgrades got better with DC.
