It's as true of a turret as you can get in 2nd edition. I'd be somewhat surprised if they gave too much of a discount to turreted ships considering that they're trying to balance things back down again. But yeah, time will tell.

My question is...with effectively a built in HLC turret...is it possible to fit in two cheap wild space fringers plus a third support ship?

If you can get a HWK as a cheap coordinate source, that seems pretty good. Seems like Fringed shouldn't be that cheap, but who knows.

HWK or AP-5.

HWK does not have native coordinate.

Shoot. I guess I was thinking Jam.

Speaking of the HWK... so it has a primary turret. does moldy crow title replace the turret or does it gain a 3 dice primary and then have a 2 dice turret? effectively a mini-Shadowcaster?

It's a second attack function and works like a baby shadowcaster. HWK got some major Dev love. Nice job on you HWK loyalists that hung in there through the years!

You're really betraying too much with that question. Any good Chad will know that you put gains on top of gains, you don't lose when you gain, you only gain big gains.

never stopped! Jan Ors is my lady! current squad building method: Jan Ors + Nien Numb + TLT add Fenn, sprinkle in third ship and upgrades as available.

Chris and I actually looked at sleeve printing... but we couldn't find anything that was cheap enough (required like bulk 1000x 50 orders) :(

Heh. If a lot of people really are selling off their collections, this might be a good time to buy cheap models and kitbash some uglies!

Or buy a bunch just so next big tournament you go to, if you lose a game, just take a hammer to the models right there and watch your opponent freak out. It might be a rough day, so plan accordingly. Bring 6 of everything.

Just use this. Technically X-wing related.

I saw custom sleeves for ~50 cents each.

Anyone planning on testing a 2E vassal list similar to this:

Lambda w/ Ciena Ree & Grand Inquisitor

Soontir Fel ACE OF LEGEND w/ Elusive & Stealth Device

Countess w/ Outmaneuver OR Predator & Afterburners

That could sit somewhere around 200 pts. Head sim-ing the places Countess can be with the Ciena Ree coordinate + Countess ability and afterburners makes both excited and give me a headache.

im curious if they would allow you to use any online art without permission... some printers get a little sticky about that. ie: staples when I attempted to print HOTAC even with the licencing page.

If I could figure out vassal (I'm too effin lazy) then I would vs that with:

Jan Ors/Moldy Crow & Engine Upgrade

Luke w/Torpedo, r2d2, instinctive aim, servos

Wedge w/opportunist, servos, r4

Then I'd do a:

Jan Ors/Moldy Crow & Engine Upgrade

Corran Horn w/r2d2, predator

Yep, trip ace and 2 ace support looks very real. Im thinking pick any 2 of vader, defender, soontir, inquisitor and then add a striker, bomber, reaper, or lamda as necessary.

Already started some self practice games for fun.

When I used to use MakePlayingCards (until Kaptin Krunch enlightened me as to what I should be paying for custom cards), I remember that they spoke so little English that if I put any stuff that looked like licensing stuff on there, they'd say my cards were not allowed (even if all the art was my own), and then if I didn't bother with that, they never cared.

Always assume that somebody else who owns a specific machine that you need them to use to make something for you is actually an idiot and you could do their job twice as fast if they'd just go on break and let you run that machine instead.

I don't need to assume that.. 90% of the time I know it to be true lol
