Really? Ooo...exciting!

Yeah, I'm 90% positive it's not escort. It's irritatingly similar, and the unique's model is blocking whether or not the generic has the new symbol or Rogue, but I'm confident it's not Escort.

Yeah, the smaller one takes a different weird angle,my guess would be either a boarding style action or something that uses a synergy between the two of them

Another theory is it is some sort of Escort but for ships, or it has a boarding function, or it let's you transfer officers between ships.

Yeah, it is some variant of the escort symbol; maybe specific to ships? Or maybe it allows them to be pulled along by their mothership or something. Don't know, but it is subtly different.

The Gauntlets have rogue and a new symbol not escort

I thought it was counter

Right where I told you where it was! :D

What if Sovereign is cost -6 and reads "You must equip Grand Moff Tarkin" or something?

Double post

The symbol on those mandos is a big boomerang shape with a little triangle on its side >. sort of like that, escort is the same pieces but in a different setup •>, to me it looks somewhat representative of a boarding action, but would be cool if it was flack escort(ships only target this squad when flaking?).

As someone pointed out in on of the other threads it is Thrawn plus seventeen upgrades. It may very well be a second commander.

OP should be updated to this piece of information.

The positioning really gets me, if this was a VCX, I'd have said it's some docking option, but on a gauntlet, in a wave inspired by season 3, I'm thinking it's something against ships, a boarding action like when all the commandos are dropped into the Int

Refit?

"Undiscard" upgrades?

Escort against ships? (This would suck a bit knowing the meta we came from)

that would be VERY specific against Vader, can't see it really happening

As a predominantly Rebel player, I'm actually (suprisingly) very happy that Empire players now have 4 different variations of the ISD.

Why you may ask? Well the Meta for a ISD1 or ISD2 has for me become a bit stagnant in turnaments.

"Oh you have an ISD2 in your build?, Let my guess your upgrade build, Leading Shots, Gunnery Team, ECM and XI7? Perhaps Intel Officer?"

So there are currently two arc types of ISD build, Gun platform or Carrier, with some few, but I would say rare, adventures into slight alterations of their main template build.

Never fix what aint brooken, is what its suffering from. And you can't blame players for going in that direction, since we all wish to win turnaments ;)

Now we finally have two more ISD variations to the portfolio, meaning that the varibles for builds has doubled up. Which mean for us Rebel players we have to be even more on our toes, to figur out, how to defeat these "Monsters of Triangular Death". So the challanging aspect of this game has increased, as the varibles has increased, so much that its virtually impossible to account for them all in your own build, which means you as a (Rebel) player has to be even better at playing the game, which in the end increases the player skill level and makes the games even more fun (And nerve wrecking) to play.

Or double using boarding actions.

I know it won't be that. A limit would be requested or Vader would work in aeternum.
