I agree. Fenn does shut down force. I do agree, the environment with swarms coming back does limit Fenn and will burn Fenn down very quickly.

Thanks, and get rekt force users. Fire control is now a passive mod interestingly, so that investment should also help against him? Assuming he isn't just 201 points of course.

Knowing abilities without price is interesting and weird. Should I burn it all down? I don't know. I still believe, despite the nonsensical 2400. They saw what it did in 1.0 and made it better - I'm assuming it's expensive enough to justify it.

Cant wait to use Fenn in epic!

Another upside to the FCS rewording. Now I can no longer be yelled at by an opponent for not declaring if I'm keeping my target lock on their ship. Now it *HAS* to stay there. Yay!

Taking suggestions on some Dash list to play this weekend while we talk about all this, just give me what feels like it'll be 200 points pls

We'll see. There are reasons that I wouldn't be surprised if at least some of these things actually start at a lower cost than we expect.

Of course you can perform actions on obstacles. Ghosts have been boosting off of rocks for awhile now.

My 2015 Decimators boosted off rocks. Get over it.

Soontir knows that if someone asks you of you're a god, the answer is always yes.

Wait I thought I checked outmaneuver and it only works for front arc attacks? or are you planning on doing front/back arc shots?

Content related note, the music from Katamari Damacy is super annoying. I expect it to show up any time in the cast...

That's a great idea!

I don't understand this. doesn't the lock have to stay on the defender. you don't get to choose a new target do you?

dash reads: while you move, you ignore obstacles.

a barrel roll is not movement, it's an action. interpretation: no rolling onto or off of rocks.

They said on the stream that BRs/boosts count as "moving" for effects like this.

In 1e you spend the target lock, then after the attack FCS gives you a new one. So technically you should be removing the lock and re-declaring fcs after every attack. most people just don't bother to actually remove the lock or call that it's coming back.

It's like "When you engage..."

'When you are moving...' likely means the entire time Dash is activated during the movement/activation phase.

that's disappointing. really hope he doesn't have a gunner slot. Dash/Luke is going to be top of the food chain either with or without that gunner slot, just changes were Luke sits is all.

We really need the app so we can understand things better... but I think I remember hearing it's being withheld to official launch day. that could cause some unnecessary fires and panic.

yes, but you cannot declare a new target.

How does Dash get to keep his 4 dice but Whisper doesn't?

No. The guy you quoted was just saying he doesn't have to worry about people calling him out for not specifically saying he got the TL back with FCS after using it on the attack. Now it just stays there and you get 1 reroll instead.

I wonder if they will be defining what "move" means in the rulebook to encompass maneuver and things like BR/Boost because I don't think that's really a term right now either.
