Still less positions than SNR...especially on a blue where he can clear the stress from linking...also he's burning 1 of his 2 force and not getting a mod related action. I'm more okay with this than SNR by miles.

Also if we are looking at the bright side today, at least they didnt give us a force ace with bendy barrel rolls?

- it might still be too cheap
low amounts of mad
- why is only Vader allowed to have afterburners?
Naked sun fac isn't a real ship, and pretending otherwise is weird.
Also, Afterburners sun fac is the stuff of nightmares

This will probably age well, and poorly, simultaneously.

I find it odd that any precog stuff made it out of "highest amounts of mad"
The most mad I am about this wave is that I only need to buy two ships, but that leaves me $70 from free shipping from CoolStuffInc.

You can always use more gunboats.

Exactly. It's why my Kylo will continue to sport SNR or go cheap on the force slot. Autothrusters and the tech slot, them good. Don't hurt yourself by turning them off so readily. Now Luke is the guy who spams this while laughing. And Vader, just strap fcs and use this as a panic button. Of course, afterburners give Vader the boost and ability if PreCog is declined, thereby multiplying his options to almost reflect that Kylo chart, but they eat the points out of Soontir's Outmaneuver. At least some list choices have to be made, lol.
Now to snapshot. Overcosted in the vast majority of cases, decent I suppose for Airen, a consideration for a Cody Y or ARC, and the affordable fulfillment to the long-awaited prophecy for Turr ever since announcement. Are we chill or upset at the cautious pricing? I mean, better talents that always cost the same or cheaper are numerous.

Precog Kylo at 86 seems like a bargain. R2 or R2A6 Precog Obi is pretty comically cheap as well, 67 pts with CLT, 83 with 7b.
The real kicker is Precog Vader with fcs is only 82 pts. With Passives/Burners still doesnt even go above 90.
Triple Precog CLT 655 fits as well but hardly seems like the best option available for the faction.
Its like this weird timeline where Regen, Passive Sensors, R2A6, Sense, couple other upgrades and the Force Aces ( including Kylo/Vader) were all already undercosted before wave 5 arrived. Then we inject undercosted precog fuel into the fire. For some reason I thought R2A6 would be 12 pts at i6....not precog.
I was positive precog would be at least 20+ pts at i6. Oh well, time to figure out the exact same old boring puzzle again. Really important that people not forget aces choose between all the places their dial and actions can go + the new places Precog adds.
These cards are essentially the same as putting more maneuveres on a dial, you just dont have to actually select those options until later.
At least there only 18 possible end positions with a 5 straight instead of 30+. Gotta look at the bright side.
this is why we need a mourning period before doing analysis
...wow precog is dumb and stapled to literally everything
...wait, maybe I can hit them with snap shot?
oh that game sounds super not fun, guess I don't care

Is mourning period the same as unironically wanting turrets, bombs, rear arc boost, snapshot, and leia crew to be cheaper? Need to find a couple more 5-8 ship builds at or ideally above Vulture Swarm and Sinker Swarms power level.

Would you like Snap Shot in that flavor of 5-8 ships? It even has Leia too.

Just run Ensnare and Predator Sun Fac...and still get 6 drones with struts in the list because there is no god.

Can anything take EPB and delayed fuses? It needs to count to 3 and right now it only counts to 2...5 is, of course, right out.

RStan plays with loaded dice confirmed, if he thinks that a net of Z's with an optimal 3 triggers of snap per turn are a jousty list, lol.
If you snapshot someone after they SLAM, is it a Slapshot, a SLAMshot, a SnapSLAM, a Snapslap, a ShnlopSchlat, ShotSLAMSnap, a Snamscnapslat,...?

I'm not sure you or anyone understands how unavoidable range two is. I'd be amazed if the average number of snap shots per turn in a list like that is .9 per ship

Nope. Would need a second mod slot alongside the required Reload action, Device and Mod slots for EPB, and iirc the only ship with Device & 2x Mod slots is the HWK-290 which doesn't have reload. Effectively, right now, Delayed Fuses is built into EPB.

Forget delayed fuses, just Ion them in the blast radius:
red squadron vet: 33
ICT: 5
38 points x 4 + 1 vet with EPB = 199
I guess you could always try something with Nym as well.
If I have one ship with snap shot, does it give me the right to measure range in my front arc every time an enemy ship moves, until I trigger snap shot in the round? More importantly, would Marshall Paul let me do it?

I love using Sense and finding out I don't know anything.
