Finn 4X

Counting Lulo and Cova as T-70s?

Streamed top 8 Resistance list: Tali, Finn, 2x RSE & 1 LDP. Dion didn't have the overlay up when I first replied to you @Boom Owl.

This was expected, was it not?

extended event, first since points change, kinda makes sense lists of pre-points change are still going to be dominant.

I mean we have some indications for hyperspace, but there’s going to be a a bit of a shake up with the new content. If we’re still looking at this for extended further on down the line maybe we can start crying wolf or dead format or whatever you want to call it.

Final table.

Why are you surprised? For the first time FFG was very soft on nerf, no dominat list got nuked they just removed some bids from Jedi and some discords for sear swarms, everything else went mostly unscathed. Yeah, you can play more swarms if you enjoy rely on dice more than usual, but that's it.

How many big tournament finals has Jendon 2 Inqs + ace played? Is this like the third or fourth in a row?

The hero we need, but not the hero we deserve...

Who cares about extended pilots?

Congrats to Zach! He's got a good mix of silly and relaxed and he's always fun in the building.

Now the real question: Is the name of the condition card that Randy the Intern assigns when he feels attacked "OK, Boomer?" IDK, but when I use my Matt alt art, I'll say it anytime I use the pilot ability. Beautiful cringe worthy of an edgelord.

Despite it being just after points, and there were some cool new things in the cut, the online X-Wing community is going to lose it's mind.

finally...

Just poking a bit in hopes that ATC will gain the ability to display cut performance by faction as a separate column.

Soontir isn’t undercosted but Inquisitors are

Something of Vader, Whisper, Soontir, Passives, Afterburners, 5thBro should go up 1 point. And more than one of them deserves it. I think Vader Whisper Ginq/Soontir should not fit with all their basic upgrades

I’d like to see initiative costing on Passive, if anything. But tbh I think extended will be left as an OP-allowed format to keep it distinct.

So long as they keep making the events extended, kinda everyone?

It truly is rather strange to see Passive Sensors--ostensibly an upgrade to help low-initiative ships pursue Lock-based strategies--get more play on Vader than anything else. I go back and forth on Initiative pricing, since I think the only place where it's actually silly is kinda Vader. Strikes me that Whisper could easily switch to Targeting Computer and be mostly fine.

I still kinda wish PS required a lock action on the ship, but that doesn't hit Vader. Targeting Computer is in the game (and was already coming down the pike when PS was developed), so I don't mind making someone pay extra if they want to use Passive Sensors tricks rather than plebeian locking.

passives is just so much better though. Game on the weekend, had a lock on ship B, but wanted to take out ship A with Vader and Whisper. Vader already killed it, so I took just a calculate instead. That kind of flexibility can be very valuable.

e: and at the same price. wtf

For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and board control on the final tables. Before the dark times, before the Empire.

I mean, isn't that the big lesson from LVO? If they make HS the new tournament format maybe FFG could get the meta shakeups for competitive events that they claim to want so badly without breaking the game.

To be sure.

But if Passive didn't exist, it wouldn't be like TC Whisper would be trash.

Passive Sensors (1 charge).

Action: Spend 1 [charge] from this card.

When an enemy ship engages, you may recover 1 [charge] and spend 1 focus or calculate token to acquire a lock on that ship.
