My first reaction to reading about Intensity makes me think of A-wings. It completely seems like a boost to A-wings. With their Test Pilot title, they can get two EPT's and really take advantage of Intensity. PTL on any A-wing is silly as you can do a Boost, get the free Evade/Focus, and PTL for another action (TL, Focus, or Evade). Jake is just silly with it as he can get a Boost, Barrel Roll, Focus, and TL all in the same turn! Or trade out one of those for an Evade if you want. You could even go with Predator to give you the re-rolls on your 2-3 red dice and then get an Evade after your Boost. Snapshot is another good one. Boost to get to a good spot for Snapshot and then get an Evade or Focus as a bonus. The possibilities are just crazy.

Other people who like Intensity:

• Vader: With is 2 actions already, he can turn it into 3. Makes it easy to get out of firing arcs and still be effective. Or....get out of some firing arcs and still have a mod for defense if you really want to not be hit.
• Turr Phenirr: He can move up, get a Focus. Fire his attack (or use Focus for defense) and then Boost/BR out of the way and get a Focus/Evade.
• Valen Rudor: He gets shot...do a Boost/BR and get an Evade or Focus! What's not to love?
• Poe: He loves it, especially with BB-8. Gets his Focus for free and still can do an action.
• Any T-70 : Use his Boost and get a Focus or Evade! Combine the Evade with Comm Relay and it's great.
• Snap Wexley : Gets a free Boost and then ads on a Focus or Evade! That's all before he gets to pick his action.
• Blue Ace : More likely to use the freaky Boost action.
• Norra Wexley with R7-T : She can Boost if someone has her in arc at R1-2, she gets a TL, and then she gets a Focus! Oh, and that rear arc can help ensure she still has a shot.
• Thane : Can use one of those free abilities to do a BR (w/ Thrusters) to also get a free Evade or Focus...and also maybe ensure there are other ships in firing arc to get more actions?
• Gemmar Sojan: Boost into R1 and get a Focus for that extra Green die.
• Sabine : In either ship she gets the free Boost/BR.
• Ahsoka: She wants to BR around to keep people in R1 and she wants a Focus. What's not to love?
• Wedge w/ BB-8 : He would love this! Gets the free reposition and gets the free Focus or Evade. He could be a beast at PS 9 as he could still do action to either TL or Focus and then get a Focus or Evade for defense.
• Zertik Strom : Can BR to within R1 of enemy and still get his other action.
• Alozen : Same here. BR closer and get his free TL...as well as a Focus/Evade!
• Deathfire: Can do the BR to then get a free Bomb drop...and then get a free Focus/Evade. (NO EPT)
• Tie Defender: Any Tie Defender, even with /D title. You can reposition for possible arc dodge and still get a Focus for firing.
• Mauler Mithel: Can BR to get in R1 and still have a F/E.
• Black Squadron Tie Fighter: Not for formation flying, but you get one that can maybe Arc Dodge BR and get a F/E. Not crazy powerful, but not bad.
• Zeta Ace: Maybe you want to use Zeta Ace now as you get the extended BR and another action?
• Any Tie Striker : You want to be hard to predict? Use your Ailerons, move, BR, and then get a free F/E!
• Misthunter: Gain the BR ability and still get a Focus/Evade action! Combine that with FCS or something and you can put the hurt on someone.
• Any Kihraxz Fighter w/ V. Thrusters : You get the re-positioning they lack and an extra F/E!
• Serissu : BR to R1 of a friendly and get an Evade token for it!
• Quinn Jast: Need to flip your ordnance up, but don't want to be in the firing arc? Do a BR for your action and get that Evade token for defense!
• Inaldra : Need to ionize to get that shield back? Well, you can then BR and then Evade that next turn! Makes it easier to stay alive and Pulse your shield back.
• Any Fang Fighter : You can Boost or BR and get a F/E? Sure, Mindlink is cheaper, but you won't get the extra stress. Nice alternative.
• Guri: Boost or BR into R1 of an enemy....and get a Focus and an Evade! Combine with FCS and you should be quite happy.
• Kavil w/ Vectored Thrusters : Can be used for a lot of different things, depending on your turret. BR away for TLT shots and the extra action. BR close for Autoblaster Turret that is out of arc and roll 3 dice....plus that Focus! Dorsal Turret isn't even a bad idea as a BR can often get someone at R1-2. You get the bonus die out of arc, bonus die if in R1, and you still get a Focus to modify. Sure, not game breaking, but an actual option for only a 3 pt turret.

OK.....that's it for now as I'm sure there are 3-5 pages of comment already to catch up on. Yeah, lots of these are top of Worlds cool, but there are a lot of different pilots that could really like this EPT.

Norra with R7-T1. Boost, TL, and Focus in one action!

Heck, anything with R7-T1.

Several of these don't have EPTs, and notably Deathfire can't ever have an EPT.

Did anyone notice in the article when they mention all the TIE variants, the Punisher isn't even mentioned? Sad, sad, Punisher.

Stressed? dont care, intensity gives a token. use the token on defence before you fire? any eyeball results go toward recharging intensity.

As its been said, No Dial.

So we pretty much no nothing about this new ship.

Whoa! I didn't even think of that! That's super cool! Yeah, I agree that anyone with R7-T1. When I've used that astromech, I've found it's pretty easy to be in R1-2 of an enemy in arc. Oh, and you can then use it for an Evade if you are still in firing arc.

That would be a good combo for HotAC, actually.

It has a 2 bank at least. That's pretty OP.

Looking at Imperial ships with a 2 Green bank:

• Tie Fighter
• Tie Bomber
• Tie Interceptor
• Tie Phantom
• FO Tie Fighter
• Decimator

With that list of similar ships, I am thinking the dial has to be pretty decent. The only dial that some consider "bad" is the Bomber, and I think only the 2 hard red is bad. Bomber has a pretty open dial. Throw in the comment in the article about it having an "open" dial means that I am thinking it will have few red moves. Maybe not a lot of green, but do you really need green to do really well with it? Then again....that 2 bank Green is pretty nice. I'm thinking it's not going to hurt for Greens.

Aggressors are neat. I like that FFG is explicitly saying "hey this is a multiple role ship, pick one and flavor to suit". You can do a lot with the generics and the uniques. Intensity seems like a well measured card for all factions without tipping too far for anybody.

Probably for the best the PS5 doesn't have an EPT, you could load three of them with Ruthlessness and TLT and have quite a few points to spare for other stuff.

Or....get out of some firing arcs and still have a mod for defense if you really want to not be hit. Or he can take Predator for 1 point more, and since he's never going to spend his TL it gives him a way to modify those blanks, always have an offensive mod, be able to F+E for his actions, and
• Turr Phenirr: He can move up, get a Focus. Fire his attack (or use Focus for defense) and then Boost/BR out of the way and get a Focus/Evade. Great, sure... except being PS7 means that he's likely to get daed before his shot... Which is why you always see him at PS9.
• Valen Rudor: He gets shot...do a Boost/BR and get an Evade or Focus! What's not to love? Yeah great. 'cept when are you going to disengage? Plus, when was the last time he was ever on the table? 2 attack dice ships are dead.
• Poe: He loves it, especially with BB-8. Gets his Focus for free and still can do an action. 100% agree.
• Any T-70 : Use his Boost and get a Focus or Evade! Combine the Evade with Comm Relay and it's great. Well, your other options are Nien who wants PTL to utilize his ability. Snap might be a good fit, between the free boost and intensity he can likely disengage. And Ello wants to stay in the thick of things with those white trolls.
• Snap Wexley : Gets a free Boost and then ads on a Focus or Evade! That's all before he gets to pick his action. See above.
• Blue Ace : More likely to use the freaky Boost action. The reason I didn't list the other T-70 pilots above is because they require the use of their droid to be even somewhat competent. R2-D6 for Intensity isn't good enough to make them useful.
• Norra Wexley : With PTL can get a BR (w/ Thrusters), TL, and Focus to maximize her ability. She can't take Intensity and PTL, so that means she can't take TL+F with Intensity.
• Thane : Can use one of those free abilities to do a BR (w/ Thrusters) to also get a free Evade or Focus...and also maybe ensure there are other ships in firing arc to get more actions? Would require R2-D6. And then would have to use his free action to barrel roll out to shut off his action. And the Evade is going to be useless since they're shooting at his friend. I don't really see the synergy here.
• Gemmar Sojan: Boost into R1 and get a Focus for that extra Green die. Fair enough. But PTL still seems better to consistently get that Focus and Boost instead of every other turn.
• Sabine : In either ship she gets the free Boost/BR. Okay, but now how does she flip it over?
• Ahsoka: She wants to BR around to keep people in R1 and she wants a Focus. What's not to love? Okay, but now how does she flip it over?
• Wedge w/ BB-8 : He would love this! Gets the free reposition and gets the free Focus or Evade. He could be a beast at PS 9 as he could still do action to either TL or Focus and then get a Focus or Evade for defense. Okay, but now how does he flip it over? And now you have a 33 point ship that likes to go POOF and is limited to green maneuvers.
• Zertik Strom : Can BR to within R1 of enemy and still get his other action. Who's this mythical pilot you're talking about? I don't believe he exists.
• Alozen : Same here. BR closer and get his free TL...as well as a Focus/Evade! Who's this mythical pilot you're talking about? I don't believe he exists.
• Deathfire: Can do the BR to then get a free Bomb drop...and then get a free Focus/Evade. Okay I'll buy it. Except that if you're taking him, then he's a dedicated bomber - do you really want to load him up on unnecessary points?
• Tie Defender: Any Tie Defender, even with /D title. You can reposition for possible arc dodge and still get a Focus for firing. I would agree with the /x7 - there are too many turns that you don't have to spend both tokens so it'd be simple to flip over. But I'm not sure about the /D - you have more shots and less tokens. And you don't really disengage well (why would you when you can K turn better than anyone else?)
• Mauler Mithel: Can BR to get in R1 and still have a F/E. Meh, not the worse use of it as you could argue that if he's not in R1, it's not worth having a modifier, so he can flip it the next turn.
• Black Squadron Tie Fighter: Not for formation flying, but you get one that can maybe Arc Dodge BR and get a F/E. Not crazy powerful, but not bad. Give me Crackshot for 1 point cheaper please. More reliable and cheaper.
• Zeta Ace: Maybe you want to use Zeta Ace now as you get the extended BR and another action? Perhaps, but doesn't fix the fact that he's BR at PS5, which is why he's not seen in play.
• Any Tie Striker : You want to be hard to predict? Use your Ailerons, move, BR, and then get a free F/E! This could actually work. And they have the speed to disengage to flip it back over. And I'm not sure of any EPT that they would hands down prefer.
• Misthunter: Gain the BR ability and still get a Focus/Evade action! Combine that with FCS or something and you can put the hurt on someone. Attanni Mindlink anyone?
• Any Kihraxz Fighter w/ V. Thrusters : You get the re-positioning they lack and an extra F/E! Attanni Mindlink anyone?
• Serissu : BR to R1 of a friendly and get an Evade token for it! Why aren't you flying in formation already?
• Quinn Jast: Need to flip your ordnance up, but don't want to be in the firing arc? Do a BR for your action and get that Evade token for defense! I can get behind this. He's only firing every other turn anyways.
• Inaldra : Need to ionize to get that shield back? Well, you can then BR and then Evade that next turn! Makes it easier to stay alive and Pulse your shield back. Perhaps. Though my experimenting with PRS hasn't been particularly successful thus far, so we'll see.
• Any Fang Fighter : You can Boost or BR and get a F/E? Sure, Mindlink is cheaper, but you won't get the extra stress. Nice alternative. With the amount of greens on that dial, who cares about stress. Though it is a way to get Evade on the ship that otherwise doesn't. Though you can't stack it with focus reliably, and you can't do it every turn.
• Guri: Boost or BR into R1 of an enemy....and get a Focus and an Evade! Combine with FCS and you should be quite happy. I could see this working on Guri.
• Kavil w/ Vectored Thrusters : Can be used for a lot of different things, depending on your turret. BR away for TLT shots and the extra action. BR close for Autoblaster Turret that is out of arc and roll 3 dice....plus that Focus! Dorsal Turret isn't even a bad idea as a BR can often get someone at R1-2. You get the bonus die out of arc, bonus die if in R1, and you still get a Focus to modify. Sure, not game breaking, but an actual option for only a 3 pt turret. I could see this working well, especially with the ABT.

I think what you're failing to recognize in this list is the cost to flip it back over.

1 hour ago, ViscerothSWG said:

Intensity seems really niche to me.

You'll get 1 use of it for sure, but 2+ means you aren't spending that focus token on your shot and aren't getting shot at. How effective are you if you aren't spending your tokens, or conversely, if you have so many extra tokens that you can continually flip it back over, do you need it in the first place?

What am I missing?

The easiest example is if you don't get shot in a round and either roll no eyeballs or just roll perfectly anyway. Other examples from there are just as simple as rolling no eyeballs in a round which also happens. Another key is tokens work in two ways, they're both good for modification and good for intimidation. If I'm picking targets and Vader has just a focus or evade I'm significantly more likely to a shot there than if he has both. By giving that extra token ostensibly for free you disincentive shots coming in which makes extra tokens more likely.

Try keeping track of instances in which you'd get to use and flip it in a few games before pooping on it.

4 of the generics, with TLT and LWF has me concerned.

Huh.

I guess it depends. Most everything on the ship seems OK- it could be good in the right lists, with the right upgrades. Nothing stands out as OMGWTFBBQTHATSSOOP, which I guess is good.

I think it will all depend on the dial- if it's good, the aggressor will be a good ship. If it's bad, the aggressor will never see play, and will only be bought for Intensity and other upgrades.

I also REALLY wish intensity were Imperial only- considering all the "Scum and Rebel only" cards coming out of the C-ROC (and I'm sure the Wookie ship and Scum bomber), it would be nice to see Imperials get some toys to themselves. I'm concerned Intensity will be meh on Imps and someone will find a ridiculous scum or rebel synergy. Scum especially doesn't need a bigger pool of upgrades to pull from.

Also, I think on Poe with bb8 intensity is onlly really good if you're using it to get an evade token. You can already use PTL to get the focus token off of bb8's barrel roll and it works every round that you bb8 instead of risking not getting to flip back on a given round (if you have to spend the focus token), and allows you to take sensor cluster or something to spend said focus otken. And PTl has the advantage of being ablet o do things like bb8, ptl into boost to change your heading, then focus as your normal action after the move.

Fixed it. Thanks.

So....lots of initial chatter about the Lt. What about Double Edge? 19 pts and you get an EPT. PS 4 is decent enough. Unguided Rockets for only 2 pts seems like a good start. Save your Focus unless you really think you will use it. Seems like someone you want to load up with weapons, but be careful. Don't get too crazy, is what I'm thinking. I'm probably thinking something cheap, like Dorsal Turret. You get the chance to fire at someone close to you or you can fire main guns out the front. Ion Cannon Turret isn't a bad idea, either. I can even see taking a Focus action and then firing ITC at someone behind you. Don't spend the Focus and save it for an Unguided Rocket if you miss the ITC shot. Autoblaster Turret might not be bad, either.

Yeah, it looks to me to be the best quad TLT list available unless the dial is really crap. Like reaaaaaaally crap. Look at it this way, if Imps get the best TLT list, all three factions will be crying for a TLT nerf.

He really makes me wonder about the Onyx generic. Same price, no EPT? Can't see anyone ever using it.

So my take, No dial which means absolutely nothing can be said about this ship and how good it is.

• We already knew Sinear Specalist starts at 17 points so we know what builds can fit where, we just don't know how any of them would work.
• Onyx Squadron Escort, a non EPT mid pilot skill generic for 2 more points, if history was to be a guide these type of pilots don't do well.
• Lt. Kestal, an interesting way to neutralize defender modification dice. According to timing you spend it before you can spend defenders focus tokens. Too bad Imperials don't have ways to pass focus tokens so you can play it with snapshot.
• Double Edge, Pilot skill 4 unique. I expect to see it more than the non EPT skill 5 Escort. Unless it has an exceptional dial, we won't be seeing this much.
• Intensity, it is a focus loan that takes an EPT. True you don't have to remove stress and technically can pay it back (or not) whenever you want but with so many EPTs and Intensity being at an expensive 2 points (expensive for EPTs are concerned, Average is 1) It won't be getting much play anywhere.

Bottom line we don't know anything more than what the last article said. A shame really, I would like to take these ships and see how they work on Vassal, especially packing TLTs.

The problem is when you DON'T BB-8 with PTL. If you ever have to do a non-green move you're stuck with one action or you can PTL but are stuck with the stress and can't BB-8 - Push the next turn. Intensity fixes that. You can BB-8 + Intensity and get 3 actions or Boost + Intensity for two, and presumably with Poe's ability you can always flip it back up. You can even use primed thrusters to BB-8 before clearing stress and STILL get the same action economy (which is impossible with PTL).

I actually think that vs 3 rec spec hwks could be an interesting match. Aggressors have more agility, but hwks get more modifiers for either offense or defense. I do think the aggressors would beat y-wings.

Primed thrusters is definitely a boost over PTL, but other than that I'd still rather have PTL most of the time if I'm running BB8. Now if you're running a DIFFERENT droid, that might be a different question. I could see intensity with r2d2 so you can boost for range and still get your focus token.
