Fenn Rau has a crew and team.

Nope, EPT, crew, and astromech.

Holy EFF on the Phantom 2 you have Fenn Rau pilot with a WALL-E of text... Biggest, by far

Can anyone make out the new phantom and ghost titles (if different)

I'm really curious about the PS1 unique pilot for the Phantom II. Looks like it starts with an "A."

AP-5 most likely.

I can honestly say that I'm surprised Maarek Stele didn't make it onto the Gunboat.

I think they said one of the titles adds an astromech slot to the Phantom?

Cool, the PS 7 Gunboat gets an extra green die when it has a weapon disabled token.

Major Vyndes seems pretty lackluster, "when defending, if you have a weapons disabled token, roll one additional defense die." I guess it must interact with the Reload action in some way? Though, it appears that the Reload Action may have something to do with clearing Jam tokens? That's the only readable line on the Reload Action card... Definitely need to see the article whenever that comes, should be some time later today right? At least as I recall that's when these tend to show up?

Phantom has a rear arc like TIE/sf's as well.

Just imagine if the title allows the ghost to also make use of the astromech whilst the phantom is docked!

BB8 would be really fun!

This would interact well with the SLAM action, I think

They do have Slam. We will see how much the need Slam to reposition.

Now we know why slam might be nerfed, we(imps) are finally getting it

yup, exactly why its getting nerfed

The majors ability is... disappointing

However suggests a unique hit n run playstyle where you dump ordnance, ASLAM to run and reload, and then jump right back in

That's really cool and unique

Ezra is PS 5 in the phantom II, it was only PS 4 before, maybe new text too?

Without bombs to drop though, you're ideally using slam to get out of arcs in the first place though, making the extra die pointless. Yeah, turrets I guess. Eh, we'll see.

I am hoping the 'hit-and-run' tactics you mention include a free action (from action bar) after attacking. Which would allow the boat to attack with munitions and gtfo.

No, it's just specifying it to work only for the two ships that actually have the SLAM Action. Mostly, this is a nerf on Scum, which I'll gladly accept. Don't need any Jumpasters Burnout Advanced SLAMming on me for whatever it is they want to do.

YOU'RE an astromech!

I'm looking at the assault gunboat and I'm pretty sure that one of the upgrades reads "linked barrel". If this is what I think it is, which was the ability to fire both standard and ion guns at the same time, then this is something that I'll be looking forward to... for my IG-88!

Turrets and people who can turn on a dime anyway.

Kwing often is still caught when its trying to just slam away (not slam-bomb), just nowhere near as often.
Fully excepting Reload to be an action version of Quinn Jast (receive weapons disabled token, flip over an ordnance card you discarded). Which is weaker than his ability since his just happens but abilities should be better than plain actions anyway.

Also, i could be seeing things since its so dang blurry (WHERES THAT ARTICLE FFG!!) but the title that adds the cannon also mentions something about a weapons disabled token....perhaps supercharge the cannon but gets disabled?

Besides, we cant really make out anything about its upgrades. It could be highly customizable and CAN take bombs (hence, slam nerf). Its base upgrade bar is pathetic (wow we havnt been shafted by that before have we?) but it has a slew of cards for some reason.

Can't SLAM as a free action

Can't even SKAM (the illicit) due to wording
