alright mr won't shut up about supernatural reflexes luke skywalker

I’ll show you Supernatural Reflexes Luke...

So it's not likely to happen, but in the joke Attack of the Clones format (nothing is unique, all of your ships must be identical(so two Dengar with Dengar Crew and title is legal) is 7 Wampa really good? It feels good.

X-1 3 attack ships where X= the number of shios remaining? Yeah, that's good.

Last time I saw it, Triple Torp Manaroo was the thing I saw. At the start of combat, all of the tokens end up... somewhere.

Also Triple Vessery and 6 Dark Curse

Luke should stay at absurdly high point values to make him basically nonviable in normal games.

Because we have to call for point increases for him.

Because he's the Supernatural-ace counter X-wing deserves, but not the one it needs right now, so we'll UP UP UP him.

Because he can take it, because he's not a fair card.

He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector, a Kylo counter.

Not sure if this was already discussed but is Stealth Device maybe worth considering on Phantoms now that ACD is gone and they might be more about only decloacking when your definitely not being shot at or sense a block?

This is what I was thinking. additional HP doesn't affect your half points, so the ability to dodge better when decloaked, and have a better chance to not have to spend the evade, I think it will have to be pretty expensive for me to not take it.

Yea not sure, i still havent wrapped my brain around the idea that I wont have to use ACD on Whisper or Echo or even a generic. How they play without that is something I have basically zero experience with.

I was just thinking force user crew, evade, stealth device, cloaked, overkill.

Perceptive copilot might be better, depending on costs. you want to be focusing anyway with 3 evade dice. It seems pretty good, and probably less than 66 points. At what point cost does it become too good though? 50? 40?

I really hope that 2.0 Phantoms lose access to the crew slot. It creates a lot of potential design problems to give an elusive fighter the ability to carry support crew, especially if the platform is getting a cost reduction. I'm assuming TIE Shuttles are quietly being eliminated too since Imperials are getting some new strong support crew that would be problematic if you don't have to devote many points to a carrier.

Phantom crew slot is confirmed.

Get rekt, other crew carriers!

On that note- Sloane on a Phantom- is it good?

Seems good to me, depending on cost.

Biking is the Kanan Biggs of running.

So Savage. So awesome.

P.s. my wife said she didn't believe me I'd go running at 530am. I'm on the list or shame. She was right.

I'm going for a walk tonight. No shame next week.

SHAME!

It was pretty funny though to be listening to this while biking at 6 am. Apparently I'm the enemy? But I'll also confirm that it's borderline impossible to run in Texas in the summer. I lived in Houston two summers ago, and I had to quit exercising outside in summer because I was dying even at 7 am. I moved to Ohio and confused the **** out of everyone when I told them the best biking in Texas is in winter.

"What.... what.. is winter like in Texas? Is it not cold...? You go outside for fun in winter?!??!?"

Sloane on anything seems pretty good. Maybe Sloane Echo or Whisper + a bunch of Strikers. Whats so weird about 2.0 is that everytime I try to list build I find myself coming up with stuff that is probably far to wholesome to be worth considering. Its all just not Kylo enough but still could work.

This must be what freedom feels like.

Generic Phantom + Sloane + Stealth Device... just don't decloak most of the time. It's fine. (It's probably not good, but it reeks of disrespekt.)

I believe you. I'm searching for fans and AC the minute it hits 28 Celsius. My bike is at my parents place, and we are not on good terms, otherwise I'd 100% be biking every morning. I have a few excuses I could make for not running in the morning, but excuses don't get rid of my flab. I laughed pretty **** hard even knowing I'd be named on the shame list.

On the subject of Phantom crew, have we seen Ol’ Muttonchops for 2.0 yet?

Celcius? What is this metric temperature garbage? Get some granularity in your temperatures!

Because there's a meaningful difference between 83 and 84 Fahrenheit to you?

With the Phantoms, they say they are going to be cheaper so they are not a key piece... if you can fit in whisper, echo, and RAC in a list... does that sounds like fun?

Legit question, regardless of points cost (REEEE) - is RAC actually good in 2.0? Decis are much more of tanks now with reinforce, but reinforce is also worse. But, crits are bad, so throwing out those sounds good. If only there were some good Andrew on the internet that made math easy for me to figure out which side has the advantage!!
