"You can even go the opposite route and lower Viktor Hel's agility with Expose. ....."

Expose will never be a good card. Please stop trying so hard to make it sound appealing. :) we still love you ffg.

I beg to differ. Expose on Decimator is pretty nasty.

forgot ghost has no ept

@SabineKey you have hit the response button quite often :D

A Biggs costing 30+ points doesnt seem to be very helpful, as these are the points which will be lost 100%

But you seem to be sooooooo scared of the moustache. Makes you nervous :P

Expose won't work on my Ghost. :(

Anyone else feel like Scum really doesn't need any love right now? I just don't understand how Rebels or Imperials will ever make a proper showing when Scum continues to get such amazing cards/ships release after release. I guess we're set to see 16/16 Scum at the next worlds- 13/16 wasn't enough for whomever at FFG is so in love with Scum.

Look at it this way, with scum small ships not named "Fenn Rau" finally (possibly) being viable, maybe the number of large base (read: jumpmasters) will drop. Half our small ship fleet is either complete trash, or shared with Rebels. The Scyk "fix" didn't do enough, but maybe, just maybe, this will be enough to break the "only large ships and Fenn are viable" position that scum has found itself in for awhile now.

I don't know about that. Five points for Expose with Experimental Interface, while tempting your opponent into accepting stress tokens? And if you can handle the stress, you can even pair it with Glitterstims to help keep you alive and maximize your damage.

My bad, I don't own a ghost, I forgot no EPT on the big ship.

So with the Starviper MkII title and Veksai titles, anyone else get the feeling that they are testing the waters for:

A-Wing - MkII Interceptor
X wing - T65a / T65b / T65c title

Because with the options those cards give i.e multiple modifications and point reductions, i wouldn't be surprised if we see something like this for our beloved workhorse and Star Destroyer destroyer.

One can hope, although I'm still hoping the Rebel aces pack we see is X and Y.

Don't worry we'll make up for it with twice as many X-Wing fix threads now.

And K Fighter/Starviper Nerf threads lol

My pants have literally just flown right off.

I'm sure someone said it already, but Engine + AT on a Khiraxz is bonkers.

Talonbane 28

Vaksai

Engine 3

AT 1

Pulse Ray 1

LW 1

Glitterstim 1

I'd pay 35 for that...

Boy am i glad i switched faction. Nothing here to solve the problem of OP scums. Fenn/Talon/Guri with Attani was close to being good. Now it's probably going to be better than any Imperial triple aces builds. Yay for balance :-)

In before they make Stealth Device "Limited." 3 Stealth Devices on Viktor: 31 points.

Edit: Add Scavenger for 32 points.

Gotta be different modifications, fortunately.

Yeah i mean juste compare this preview to the Agressor we got last week.

Agressor: some good stuff but nothing that scream "amazing". To put the nail on the coffin the best upgrade it provides is available to all factions and can be exploited better than the one it's intended for.

Scum Aces: WTF are they thinking?? just look at the amount of goodness in a single pack! I mean just with the first preview we can already see how broken it is.

So how broken is it?

Soooooooo,

Am I the only one who thinks this thing is a disaster waiting to happen?

They just won't be happy until every table is all Scum all the time. I didn't think it was possible for FFG to surpass GW in incompetence, but we're approaching that level now.

So a PS 5 Khiraxz can take Crackshot, Black Market Slicer Tools, Guidance Chips, Munitions Failsafe, and Tracers and stay at 23 points.

Meanwhile a PS 4 Interceptor can take Crackshot at 22 points.

Pre-movement Insanity:

Prince Xizor (31)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Advanced Sensors (3)
Cloaking Device (2)
Autothrusters (2)
Virago (1)

MkII (-3)

Total: 37

Decloak / Adv Sensor Boost or Barrel roll / Move

The amount of places you can end up is staggering.

It's the scum jouster just because no one elses jousters work isn't any reason scum's shouldn't, according to ffg.

It's not just me, man. The designers have said Biggs was a mistake. They aren't going to give the t-65 a boost that makes him stronger, or more than what Integrated Astro gave.

Not scared of the moustache. Tired of him.

Its easy. Do two titles: One PS1-4 and one PS 6-9 only. Hobbie will be an innocent bystander but it has to be done.
