Oh my wonderful disciples, you have made GUNBOAT proud. Soon GUNBOAT will be with us, forever and ever and we shall not want for SLAM or Reload, for GUNBOAT is swift and gives us plenty in our time of need.

It will have to be before/alongside the Wave 12 release. If you look closely on the teaser page for the Gunboat, the wording on Advanced Slam is different to the original.

Don't forget to put the TIE Silencer on there when it turns out to be ridiculously good.

Or the Gunboat.

NO ONE PUTS GUNBOAT IN THE CORNER! NO ONE!

if GUNBOAT is 'OP' it's because everyone else just sucks. Try to keep up Nym.

On its face I think the Gunboat looks to be pretty balanced, without knowing what half of its cards do. Just the XG-1 title and SLAM->ASLAM->Reload->Shooting anyway is a heck of a gimmick for VI Vynder.

That's the problem with it. Like the SIlencer, it looks pretty balanced in a meta where balanced ships are the exception, not the norm...

I understand (somewhat) the balance issues in the competitive metagame right now, but I think a couple of careful excisions can restore a fair bit of balance and make a lot of ships and squads viable again. It's my hope this is what happens with a new FAQ, and my belief that this is why it's taking so long for them to iron it out. No need to release things that are intentionally unbalanced for the sake of making a new balance point.

Call me an optimist but I think things are gonna be fine after a little while. Doesn't help the here and now, of course.

We already know as well as we can that ASLAM is getting nerfed, you can see the nerfed wording in the Gunboat card fan.

So they will be putting out some fixes. I just hope they're the right ones, done the right ay.

Maybe they just taking their time to make it better..

Maybe the FAQ is going to be released instead of the Gunboat and the first page is just going to be a picture of it with a giant red REDACTED stamp across it and a picture of Mickey looming behind, laughing manically.

I mean, isn't that wave due in April?

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

TRIGGERED!!!!!

actually, 4th quarter usually translates to 2nd quarter next year. Adding 2 to 3 quarters is a safe bet

Whenever they:

1. Get a new version

2. Play test a new version, with new testers (or at least some new testers, replacing the leakers)

The leak slowed down whatever was coming IMO.

or someone made up a big fat lie to get people going online, "the FAQ" is fake, and a bunch of people wont admit it because they're mad they got hoaxed

Except that the wording on ASLAM in the Gunboat isn't the same as the wording on ASLAM in the K wing...

well obviously an FAQ will eventually come. thing is it will bear little or no similarity to "the FAQ", because that was fake. slam, Jumps, and sabine will likely be altered in some form, maybe integrated astro will get a buff, but it certainly wont involve multiple unprecidented changes like the hoaxer claimed.

I'd be inclined to agree with you, however something is going on. As was noted, the advanced slam card in the Gunboat pack as pictured is not worded the same way as the one we know. Ergo, at least some element of the faq could be true, or ffg is just messing with us.

Why the bee in your bonnet? Asked you twice before.

The issue with adv slam on the gunboat is you don't get chips for your reloading ordnance

I know, the choices to be made! I'm probably only loading Cruisers or Harpoons at most if I'm running XG-1, so I'd rather have ASLAM to Focus or TL if I don't have to Reload, ideally also getting a shot with a TBeam or Flechette or Jammer or what-have-you.

It will depend on the wording of the OS-whatever title, but Chips or Scanners will be the way to go there for sure.

CAKE, did you say cake.

Based on the last FAQ errata and the rumored errata, it is pretty clear that the devs should've just went with a restricted list to nix the problematic combos.

FFG have essentially tried that approach with the ship-that-shall-not-be-named in the last few FAQs, and it didn't work. The nuclear option is entirely justified in this case.

How so? Trying a restricted list would have been something like banning the jumpmaster from competitive events. Not errataing some combos to not work on it anymore.
