One word for you @Blail Blerg .....Epic.

HotAC has reinvigorated our local store's group. I highly recommend it.

An X-Wing with predator and Sabine's pilot ability feels so great to fly! Its like Christmas!

Funny sidenote, my teammate had an ARC-170 with 3 stealth devices (because HotAC is cool like that) and an Academy Tie hit his ARC the first round of combat in our last mission. Hilarious! Goodbye stealth devices!

Multiple Stealth Devices isn't legal in HotAC, barring changing the rules as they exist. Only Shield Upgrades and Hull Upgrades, of the modifications, can be taken multiple times.

Don't know if vaccinations would prevent salmonella. Besides, they use enough antibiotics at less than therapeutic levels I don't know if the birds would survive a "weakened" strain of anything.

Ok, I was mainly joking, especially about all those anti-vaccination movements in the united states.

But if you ask seriously:

The rate of salmonella infections is significantly lower with vaccination instead the method of washing eggs (and thus removing the natural protection layer on the eggs) and using fridges afterwards. Within the EU vaccination is mandatory and the amount of salmonella infections is a lot more than a magnitude lower. So the method of vaccination is not only environmental friendly, but as well significant more effective and comes with the advantage that you do not need to put your eggs in the fridge.

True, however the ARC is also not strictly speaking in the core game. There's a whole community that's taken the base HotAC and run wild with it. Since he's using an ARC, I would bet they broke other guidelines as well.

My last group we allowed any small base after PS4 with specific exceptions that we banned. We just upped the AI when we felt it was broken for the standard AI.

Thanks for posting this, it was very interesting. Most was knew info for me. Seems like the U.S. egg producers are seeing the light ($) about vaccinations.

Thanks again!

any recommendations?

Play other Star Wars games!

I was feeling bored with X-Wing a while back, and I bought Rebellion. Then a friend got me into Destiny. Then I ran an Edge of the Empire campaign. Then I started Armada... taking a break and just enjoying Star Wars and gaming, separate from X-Wing, really reinvigorated my love of X-Wing!

Also, Star Wars Pocketmodel TCG is legit - don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!

Ugh no. I'm getting tired of the FFG way of doing things. Armada and Xwing are similar enough to cause similar gripes.

Come play Armada. It is your destiny.
