Everyone saying linked batteries will help brobots, eaden vrill, and the like, look at the first three words on the card (after the name)

Adv SLAM action happen before or after you get the weapons disabled token?
Wasabi er i mean Karsabi might not be able to use his ability and adv slam in the same turn, due to stress.
After performing a SLAM action. The token is assigned as part of the SLAM action.
Gunboat might as well not even have a primary weapon.
It will
never
use it. And neither title enables it while disabled, only secondaries.
Important Release Update!
X-Wing Wave XII (consisting of the Alpha -class Star Wing , the M12-L Kimogila Fighter , and the Phantom II ) and Wave XIII (consisting of the Resistance Bomber and the TIE silencer ) were originally announced as separate waves. Fortunately, we have been able to move our release dates to release all five ships simultaneously! You can pre-order all five ships by clicking on the products shown to the right.

Yup. Missed that. I was too busy salivating at potential 4x Gunboat swarms.

But Boba Fett will have a lot more things to steal now...
Boba? who uses boba crew?
i havnt seen him in eons. And last dozen or so times i DID see him he either never did anything due to no crits landing or discarded something minor on a ship that had 1hp left lol

So you're saying it's like a HWK...

And yes, the X Wing is a walking corpse. The X Wing also gets a 3 die primary. Gunboat's 2 is pretty useless on its own, so it has to pay for extras.
Good point on the primary attack. I've edited.
BTW, when I mean the X-wing, I'll wring "X-wing" or "T-65." I wrote "X-Wing." That capital W has meaning!

Triple Scouts, basically.

I know. The words 'rookie pilot' and the 21 point cost are a clue.

Sorta.
Gunboat is far, far more maneuverable and +2hp (hwk has 5 right?).
It also has multiple weapons to use instead of its gun, the HWk has 1. If the HWK has a TLT and you dive its face its going to fire a petty 2die primary weapon at you. Gunboat will still fire a tractor/flechette/jamming or any R1 capable ordnance.

In before people announce that X-Wing is dead because wave 13 has been canceled

Why you half witted, scruffy looking, nerf herder!
Sigh...
Also it seems that Rho Pilot and Karasabi are the best pilots. Karasabi has the option to remove his disabled token which is nice with 4 green maneuvers and SLAM.
Did they say what the jamming token does?
Linked Battery seems like a nice buff to some ships. Good alternative to FCS... except the small ship text prevents my binary boys from taking it. Someone must be scared of Linked Battery / Collision Detecto Brobots. Less incentive to run IGB. I could speculate down this rabbit hole forever.
All that matters is that juicy Adv Slam text means the Brobots will ride again!

Jamming and Reload were in the initial wave announcement.
Basically Jamming just denies a focus/evade/targetlock token (immediately or next time you get one)
The ship with the tokens choses whats discarded if theres multiples.
Which now that i think about it, Jamming is kind of a counter to K4. Assuming it didnt get eaten by either an existing token when the jam was applied or a pre-move attani share focus, K4 will go off first so they cant protect it by focusing and remove the focus.
Edited by Vineheart01Sounds deliciously destructive. Can't wait to bring it to the table.
Also, giant wave XII! Wonder if it means XIII will be a mini-wave with still-undisclosed ep8 ships?

Then what does the keyword JAMMED mean?

Small Ship Only. Not that it needed to be. literally only useful on the Gunboat and B Wing currently. Technically equippable on the Defender but you lose both titles if you do and lol

Oh dont start that crap
Its painfully obvious its just a name for the whole Jamming Token thing since its offensive in nature.
Hm. I think a squadron with two of the OS-1 Nu Squadron Pilots with an Upsilon with Weapons Engineer and the Targeting Synchronizer could be quite amusing.
