Just checking in to see if anyone was calling this DOA yet.

Just checking in to see the usual whining from the usual Empire fanboys and -girls.

And here they are in force. Ignoring that there are 2 Punisher fixes in the package.

Scum and Rebel lists will love this expansion, Ithink it will ends lot of ships ability to be tier 1. Certainly a hard direction towards heavy dropped ordinance; would love to know what the meta was when the FFG guys derived this ship......wow! ?

It does mix things up so is that a bad thing.

OMG. this is crazy. Where am I gonna put him in my folder? Rebels. Scum. I can't split them. OCD OCD OCD. AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

What ships do you think will no longer be Tier 1? (Legitimate question; I'm newish.)

I play imps 99% of the time and can say I am more excited now then before.

Cycles take place and we are nearing an end of Scum and Rebels be the top dogs. Something good will happen for imps soon.

Double post; sorry.

Like a double rainbow :-p

Welp, Sabine is now an even bigger pain in my **** than ever, and Miranda is **** near untouchable. I'm off to clown college.

Jumpmasters can drop bombs now. Game over everyone.

Will the once per opportunity rule not kick on for extra munitions with the money mapper? Like of you have 3 bombers with EM and clusters x2 they'll "only" be able to place 3?

Short answer don't.

There are cycles and things balance themselves. Soontir and palp stole the show for a long time and whisper made many people quit.

Sit tight more ships are on the way and be excited.

Oh, Cubanboy, don't get me wrong: I'm not saying "REBELS AND SCUM OP PLZ NERF11ELEVEN!". I'm saying: Bombs (specifically) are very much an imperial thing, we shouldn't be the worst faction at it.

First list I've made with these shiny toys, and I really want to play it.

Emon Azzameen
Cad Bane 2
Slave I 0
Extra Munitions 2
Cluster Mines 4
Concussion Missiles 4 (hopefully the new missiles wil cost 4)
Long-Range Scanners or Guidance Chips 0
Ship Total: 48

Captain Nym (Scum)
Veteran Instincts 1
Havoc 0
Fire-Control System 2
Bomblet Generator 3
"Genius" 0
Synced Turret 4
Ship Total: 40

Sunny Bounder 14
Light Scyk -2
Ship Total: 12

EDIT: Welp, the Turret is actually 4 points. List fixed.

That's what I'm betting:

Now that's an interesting question. It says "discard a bomb upgrade card," so we know Extra Munitions will let you discard a Munitions token instead. But would you be able to discard a bomb card twice? I doubt it, due to the 'once per opportunity' rule. I think TIE punishers would be able to deploy two at the most.

So this situation is never going to happen.

I mean,I guess it still could, but with only a single row of Cluster Mines.

Reading that article gave me cancer. As an Imperial player I feel almost cheated. Scum buffed even more. Miranda+Sabine going full carpet bombing. Meanwhile Imps get Agressor with TLT. Good game.

Well, it's been a Rebel at the top (Worlds competition level reference) with Scum rising for the last few years. I think the business model feels somewhat secure as they are printing money, and it's pushing its corporate weight towards Scum (remember they're designing 1.5 years ago I'm assuming), and Rebels; it's obviously where the $$$ is at. I was salty a few months ago, but I fly Scum competitively now and play Imps for fun; you must embrace the new game, good or no.

I don't disagree. I also agree that the other factions don't need nerds. I think with the new ships that change the meta we should see lots of fun.

Seems they have updated the article and added the dial. It wasn't there when it was published:

Looks like a brick, steers like a brick. I think the TIE/AG will be the only ship this wave with a K-Turn at this rate.

Don't forget that it has Tallon Rolls. Those are better than K-turns.

That's actually a pretty decent dial.

What's wrong with nerds?

And a better dial than any classic ship.

So for 6 points more than a Y-Wing, you get a 3 dice primary attack, 2 extra shields, all the upgrade slots in the world, and the things got an arguably better dial than a T70.

All the fanboy wankery in one box.

Still, it doesn't enjoy turning around. Perhaps a conscious decision that the H-6 should focus on dial bombs, not action bombs.

Also, 2nd ship this wave with the 5 straight red...

They're coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.

And besides, the Scum have Glitterstim, and the Rebels Have Hope, so only the Empire needs the sugar rush.
