same. very very low it is.

They better not make the phantom 2 superior in any way to the Imperial version, like they did with the Tie.

The Phantom and Phantom II are not the TIE Phantom.

So Wave 11 for me.....

I bought the Aggressor for "Intensity" and put the ship permanently on the shelf.

Might buy the Scrugg for "Cruise Missiles" and then put that on the shelf.

But Wave 12.....

I like all 3....even the Phantom 2 actually looks kinda neat.

I agree! And I'm so glad, like others have said, that we don't have any new large bases!

May have been said already, but the Kimogila has a shield stat of two, but there are three tokens in the picture. Maybe from the droid to increase survivability?

...

Either that or the illicit does it.

Either a discard or other negative effect to boost your shield by 1 for the round would be interesting (exceed cap, but you lose it at the end of the round if it didnt get eaten by an attack)

Kimogila looks interesting... cockpit sort of looks like a Guavian Death Gang Helmet from TFA

Anyone notice it has a auxiliary arc facing forward w/ two parallel lines...? Wonder what that's about...

That has to do with the Bullseye mechanic that will come with the ship.

It's the "bullseye arc" they said in the ´´presentation that gives extra damage if aimed carefully.

The only thing that has me a little concerned is Jam.

From epic....JAM: To perform the jam action, the ship (usually a huge ship) chooses one enemy ship at Range 1-2 and assigns Stress tokens until the ship has 2 total stress tokens.

Who knows if thats how it will work.....

Still since everyone and their brother will be flying the highest PS Gunboat on release....I think alot rides on how balanced the Jam action is.

Who knows if thats how it will work.....but I dont know that i really want to play with or against things that can double stress ships.

But it's not going to be an action, it'll be delivered solely through that Jammer Beam or whatever it is, which is a Cannon Upgrade, which'll probably be using an attack action to deliver whatever Jam effect occurs.

From what we can see so far, doesn't look like a Jam *Action* is on any of these ships. Could be wrong, but looks like that new symbol is Reload. So the Jam tokens are probably assigned by pilot abilities or weapons. Now we get to wait and see if they tell us what they do...

Edited by Engine25

The Jam action in epic:

- Has a different action icon

- Does not need those tokens that come with either expansion

As far as I can tell, this is a new kind of jam "effect", not necessarily an action.

The Kimo has 3 pairs of guns. There's a set of them closely spaced directly over the cockpit. That has to be the bullseye sweet spot.

As pointed out, they don't have the Jam action, there's new Jam Tokens that'll have some effect

It is as if a million voices suddenly cried out, 'Gunboat!'

If this was sarcasm, kudos. If not... well, you probably don't know what kudos means, so still kudos I guess.

Sick day here! :ph34r:

Looks more appealing than last wave for sure. But still not overly excited for this new wave.

Was really hoping for N1 and/or V-wing.

Also getting tired of galaxies ships. Not only do I have no idea what any if them are since I never played the game, they've also all been pretty ugly overall.

My dream Wave XIII:

  • N-1 Starfighter (Rebels)
  • V-Wing (Empire)
  • Rogue-class Starfighter (Scum)

Yes, all small base ships again, as this game should be all about in the first place. ;)
