I guess it's time for hoping Cuckroll ****s Dash enough so that he can't stay out of arc of my jousters then?

And 3 Defenders- Are you in? Double defender+support? Defender+miniswarm?

I retouched my Inverse Royal Guard defender yesterday (Black body, red solar panels, gunmetal highlights) to go with my 2 glaives- Do you think Triple defender will fit?

My only issue with Defenders now is that I don't have enough Challenge Coins to use as shields for a pair of them anymore. Time to try to win 2 more!

Or if my Triple Defender lists fit, a whopping 6 more challenge coins.

Double Defender+Ace? I have no idea.

Double Defender. Extras are just more targets for the opponent.

I mean, I've done that before, and if FFG is going to just throw 7 hit points and Boost at me for free along with cheap and usable cannon and missile options, I will, but that seems less likely.

The thing nobody understood in waves 4-7 was that the answer to making Defenders good wasn't "less Defender" but "more Defender".

Is droid brain on the IG’s potentially busted? They can do everything they used to plus now they have recon specialist crew?

but their focuses are less good now? and no Autothrusters?

It's probably fair-ish.

Help me figure out the case of the magical warping YV-666:

Where can he be and how?

By my count, the decision tree starts at whether you want to stop the first round or not.

Then you can decide to either a) turn in, b) go right off the side edge, c) sharply turn to go off your own edge, or d) inch 1 forward to decide the next turn which edge to go out of (or stop again!).

It makes for a nice castle buster, since you could just reappear already bumping some ships in that castle.

yup. its hillarious

Outstanding to me are:

• Admiral Sloane, looks fun as swarm support
• Ciena Ree sounds super fun!
• E-Wings are finally the Defenders of rebels
• great solution for Inquisitor or Asajj, for example
• great idea with the ghost and docked ships. Can they dock during a game?!
• interceptors look playable now
• so many segnor loops!

This looks all very promising!

So The 5 points of cancer that remain that I can immediately see

- Dash Pilot

- Han Pilot (well, High-PS turrets with re-positioning is my concern, not specifically Han)

- Luke Crew

- Miranda Pilot

- Norra Pilot

But other than those, we should be good, right?

Dash Pilot with Han Gunner (if possible) looks effing deadly.

I'm pretty sure I heard them say you can.

Grand inquisitor (TAP), 2 force points (regens). Spend 1 force to prevent R1 bonus on you, spend 1 force to treat your attack as R1. As crew: find someone who got a quick screenshot!

from what I saw in twitch chat... I didn't win.

yep. Phantom title says "you can dock at range 0-1 of the Ghost" or something like that.

****. My GUNBOAT list is completely gone. HLC bullseye only, Crackshot bullseye only, only one cannon slot.

It's like they want the fake ordnance GUNBOATS to be better than the real GUNBOATS that actually use GUNS.

Also no generic ARCs. And YT-2400s are now stupid broken.

other than that, I'm happy with all of this. Looks fun.

Even better, what happens if you go off the corner where you're off of 2 edges at once? Do you get to come back anywhere along EITHER edge the next round?

That is one of the many things that will need to be FAQed right away.

And one of the reasons why I don't regret that we're exiting X-wing at the end of the first edition.

I fel sorry for you, but Torps are great now and have EM baked in.

I also don't really care, because I'm ROCK SOLID about Interceptors and Defenders now.

I want my Clone Wars factions so I can fly a swarm of generic ARCs.

But the thing is, now there's going to be tons of fake MISSILEBOATS but no real GUNBOATS! Also, I don't want the Gunboat to be good with missiles. I don't want everyone to fly it. I just want it to be decently good with cannons so I can fly it and be happy. There's nothing I hate more than looking around my game store to see everyone flying a whole bunch of stupid missileboats.

But yeah, those Defenders and Interceptors are awesome.

I agree. I want start list crafting again ASAP.

Build me an aces build worthy of Mordor.

Ciena Ree plus generic Phantoms seems fun.

Also, I kind of want Sabine in a TIE Defender now.
