Only three things have changed:

1. CROC fore and aft sections are now separated by the firing arc (which really just sounds like "we screwed up but don't feel like printing replacement bases for everyone").

2. IG-2000 title is Scum only.

3. Rule preventing actions during setup.

I assume that the last one is to keep Jake Farrell from using PTL after being placed near a ship with a Hyperwave Comm Scanner?

Or intensity. Or, ya know, just his ability...

This really is a boner faq moment 2 fixes that shouldn't need fixing and a jake.

I love all the typos in the C-ROC change. Must have really rushed this out in a hurry.

What's surprising is the lack of clarification on Jabba's wording.

Figures they'd take away my imperial jank before it began. Oh well I knew that was on borrowed time.

And that feels like they phoned in their c-roc screw up with a "meant to do that" ruling.

this makes no sense...? Why would the Gozanti have a blue dividing line but the C-ROC doesn't...? Definitely sounds like a "whoops" to me lol

It's not a bug. It's a feature.

That stinks! - devalues a frontal Reinforce quite a bit. On the bright side, it gets better coverage when running away (for when you flip that K-turn and expose your rear :rolleyes: ).

Makes it want to face the enemy directly.

  1. Not really, if you look at the back of the cards they look sort of angled. However not changing the words on the rule supplement is an oversight to say the least.
  2. That was a given, I doubt it was exactly necessary but then again you do have rule lawyers who will argue every word and pretext so better safe than sorry.
  3. Given that there is a lot more Turn 0 play going on to include deploying out of standard deployment zone, makes me wonder what else do they have in the works.

Only now does the IG-2000 title not work for the TIE Aggressor. Sad pandas abound.

Thank goodness for that. It's been raining cats and dogs here, last thing I need is another flood of salty tears from the forum lol.

The supplement isn't a card, it is a leaflet.

Can't decide if I'm happy this FAQ didn't rock the boat too much or perturbed that they didn't take the opportunity to settle some other problems.

Huh? I'm just trying to understand your first statement.

This is not a good sign for the future of the game. Play testing and QA missed a fire/aft section line before it went to production and its handled with an FAQ. Who are the designers listed on the insert?

So is the focus/evade from Hyperwave Comm Scanner illegal now?

Hyperwave Comm Scanner assigns tokens. Assigning a token is not an action.

One thing disappointing me is the wording in the Hotshot Co-Pilot FAQ. Worst clarification ever.

Which is why he was asking you "What cards?"
