Hey we have a squadbuilder. (it labels points wrong in the dropdowns for flexible-pointed cards, but totals them correctly)

Have a bad list.

Woooo!!!!!

So I’m still not sure, because I’m too lazy to read the rules reference thoroughly. Do I get to do linked actions with advanced sensors.

No. You perform your action, then when you attempt to do the linked Advanced Sensors' second paragraph kicks in and says "nope; you've had your action."

I have to admit I like this change. It shuts down a lot of that "double action no consequence" that AdvSen had in V1.0 so yes you can still get some benefit but no more double action + Bump for great positioning.

Col Jendon plus three ordinance boats seems good. He had no range restriction so acts like long range scanners.

Imperials really seem to have a solid squad for whatever playstyle I like.

has the new damage deck gotten more dangerous for the likes of soontir and fenn?

i feel like the number of game ending crits has jumped a lot for high agility aces. in the FA damage deck i feel like the following crits were game ending for an ace:
- Damaged Engine
- Damaged Cockpit

but in 2.0 it feels like the number has jumped a lot:
- Damaged Engine
- Loose Stabiliser
- Structural Damage
- Panicked Pilot
- Disabled Power regulator

This is part of why I like Fifth Brother gunner so much. Vader and something else dishing crits gets sorta scary for basically everything.

Side note Kylo double stressing stuff with Panicked Pilot should be interesting.

Proton Torpedo and Advanced Proton Torpedo looks better and better every day.

So after watching some streams and the absurdity that is supernatural + afterburner Vader...should Supernatural be costed based on Initiative? 0-2 it's 12 points. 2-4 it's 16 points. 5-6 it's 20 points.

Oh and for anyone doubting the firepower of Tie Advanced with ATC + FCS....DON'T. I watched @Brunas stream last night with the mirror of Vader + Obsidian and Vader hit like a freaking hammer. Range 1 is brutal.

Potential builds for one or two pilots:

Gunboat:

Needs something to provide Target Locks.

A little less dependent on Lock support.

Lambda:

Room for Soontir & Grand Inquisitor.

Assuming Tarkin & Krennic interact.

Tie Advanced:

Drop the rockets for standard 93 pt build.

Tie Advanced Prototype:

Bargain price for a super force user with an evade.

Tie Aggressor:

Cheapest Ion turret available?

Tie Bomber:

Everyone re-rolls.

Ignore please.

Uruk Hai

Tie Defender:

New Kylo

Tie Fighter:

Best Friends Forever

Tie Interceptor:

Or just no upgrades I guess?

Tie Phantom:

Coolest build so far, no question.

Tie Punisher:

Big scary Tie Bomber

Today's word is...proton

Tie Reaper:

Get more use out of AA maybe on 3-4 Sentinels

Tie Striker:

Second Coolest Build so far.

Decimator:

I have no idea what I am doing...

Rho Squadron Pilot — Alpha-class Star Wing	37
Fire-Control System	3
Proton Torpedoes	9
Advanced SLAM	3
Os-1 Arsenal Load Out

Col Jendon can provide locks.

Trying to decide if this is good or a pipe dream:

"Whisper" — TIE Phantom 52

Juke 4

Grand Inquisitor 16

Stealth Device 6

Ship Total: 78

Darth Vader — TIE Advanced70

Supernatural Reflexes12

Fire-Control System3

Ship Total: 85

Seyn Marana — TIE Fighter30

Marksmanship1

Ship Total: 31

194 points. paying the 2-agility price for Stealth Device to get a 5-agility cloaked ship seems alright, though... As well as "oh, you're going there? Cloak!" Open to ideas for the third ship.

A little concerned about the nonbo of Sensors+Inquisitor, but I really like how both Whisper and the Stygium Array get around it.

Collision detector maybe works a little better there.

they did a final salvo last night during the 2.0 promotional thing because it was supernatural vader vs supernatural vader.

So, there's that.

Congrats, btw!

No, but William Haigwood helped commentate, so it got pretty meta (dank) pretty quickly.

Third edition when?

so for anyone that made day 2 at Gencon-

The Kraytest option is to make the finals and fortress, get your opponent to also fortress, and record a podcast.

Alternatively, just play 2.0 in the final game.

Only trying to make top 16 to scoop to my opponent if they give me the BB-8 templates.

Dodged jamming reapers all day. Valid strategy.
