So, all good things.
The Rieekan nerf is finally in (and it is not a nerf to Rieekan itself)
Demo is nerfed in a sensible way.
Rhymer is nerfed (Rhymer is dead, long live Jendon!)
Double-hit BCC fishing is out
TRC is significantly weakened, which is good for the game (and finally there is a reason to use those MS1s)
MY only two worries that are remaining are Relayed Jendonballs and Escort/Rieekan/Biggs/GH interaction. I still think those are going to skew the game, but we'll see.
Can someone explain the Demolisher change to me. It looks the same as before:
Fir side arc at something, move Demolisher, Fire Front arc.

I would really like to echo this. It is not sufficient to bring your cards to the table - you need a full copy of the errata too. I'd love to see the face on newcomers to the game.
I just imagine this scenario play out in my mind.
Newcomer: "I'm going to use..."
Veteran: "No it does not work that way"
Newcomer": But the card..."
Veteran:" The card is wrong"

Originally, you could more Demolisher, then Engine Techs, then fire.

Before, you could start out of red range of a ship, move speed 3, move speed 1 with ET, then broadside a ship at black range. Now, you can either start at red range, move speed 3, then broadside someone, or start outside red range, move speed 3, then shoot front arc. You can no longer fire after your ET move.
GOOD, the meta was STALE as F. This might actually have me peering sideways at all my models sitting on the cabinet instead of me fiending for Newhammer 40K.
These nerfs are great, but I think they missed an opportunity to make a more general rule change. You should never be permitted to electively assign damage to a destroyed ship or squadron.

Yes, my thoughts exactly, with the added worry of Mothma MC30 MSU being a tad bit hard to counter without BCC fishing, as well as ramfleets being made relatively more powerful.
At least, flotilla lifeboats are gone.

"While they have proven to be vital support ships, the effect of flotillas on activation economy has undermined the competitive value of many fleet combinations."
Sounds like they may be planning future flotilla changes, but are waiting to see how big an impact the flagship change has first.
Ah...never used Engine techs, and was just trying to see, how the new wording was so vastly different from the old wording.
OLD:
"During your activation, you can perform 1 of your attacks after you execute a maneuver."
NEW:
“During your activation, you can perform 1 of your attacks after you execute your first maneuver.”

Oh it's productive. See what I got? Christmas on a stick.
See next post for more nuance

Same for us in DFW.

How did you know "Christmas on a stick" was the nickname for my genitalia!?
Its great for the health of the game they are looking more and more at card / ship interactions and introducing more balance going forwards - They are doing a much better balance job than coughx-wingcough

I mean, we got an article about it. And it wasn't even a RuneWars Article. Tears...
44 minutes ago, Onidsen said:Umm - look. You were right about a lot of things. A lot of us saw that. But for several months now, you've been a jerk about it, unneccesarily caustic (as the poster above mentioned) and you've been needlessly antagonistic. Even those of us who agreed with you were tired of the way you were arguing.
Just sayin. Being graceful in victory goes a long way.
Also, you are using the word apologist as if it were a name-calling thing. Everyone involved in the fray has been an apologist for some viewpoint or another. It's not a bad word.
I got a better idea. How about I ask for apologies for all the rude dismissal, personal insults, Nelson comparisons (even just last week). I didn't realize it was ok for the community to bash me and I'm supposed to be gracious.
No. I've had quite enough of people's arrogance and mistreatment of others.
You want me to be gracious? First thing I'll ask is why do you think it's acceptable to treat people the way they did.
Yes! Nerf is finally there. More diversity is finally there! *dancing*
However, I hope they simply forgot about the Most Wanted Flotilla combo and will come with that one in the future *dreaming*

A better idea would be to discuss the FAQ release and stop making it all about you though.
For all you rebel scum, I have a message to relay from an old friend:
"How do ya like me now?"
But the pretty cards...

+SW-7s. Consistent damage, all day.
