Then what does the keyword JAMMED mean?

It means you have a jamming token you've not yet discarded - and you know that next time you get a focus evade or blue TL, it'll go away along with one of the jamming tokens.

Currently, nothing we've seen yet references that status, but I'd be willing to bet something in the Kimo does.

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

Scyks huehuehue

Reroll one of them 2die primaries!

Oh dont start that crap

Its painfully obvious its just a name for the whole Jamming Token thing since its offensive in nature.

Oh I was jut wondering what it meant in reference to the Jam tokens.

Does being JAMMED mean you cannot take tokens?

For FOUR POINTS o yeah

Sunny + title + linked battery. For only 18 points

PTL with OS-1 with ASLAM with Vynder?

Oh yes baby

pfft actually that does sound pretty decent....

Sunny has no EPT, so this gives him an innate reroll w/o targetlock dependencies. So he can action for an evade/focus (evade for defense, focus for potential all focus results)

imo the linked batteries card should be 1pt since it eats a cannon slot and only rerolls 1 die.

Was hoping it would actually help the bwing somehow. 2pts more for a single reroll? meh...

It's 2 points for Predator. If you weren't using your Cannon slot. Blue Squadron pilots will love this.

Odd, but I'm kinda digging the design of it. The only thing I feel really disappointed about is the Linked Batteries being small ship only. I was looking forward to seeing what it could do on a Firespray.

Karsabi might be interesting as a mold breaker.

Vynder will be married to VI. Able to slam and procket/missile/torp Miranda, Dash, Poe, and all others PS9 and below all day. Not taking VI, guarantees a loss to Miranda

If gunboats become "a thing" look for Conner Nets to come back with a vengeance to stop the Slamming

Edited by wurms

BTW. Dengar should be dead right? Ion Pulse Missiles, Advanced Slam and OS-1 means it becomes trivial to start a ion chain against ... well basically against all fat ships. But others at least can still use their abilities while firing back, meanwhile dengar is pretty much dead in the water without his revenge shot.

I have the feeling that we might see an end of the 2-ship meta once this wave arrives, simply because the power of ions torpedos and missiles increases dramatically with those "gunboats." :P

Yeah actually, why didn't ley let large ships take it? The only other large ship with a cannon slot is the YT-2400.

I guess it doesn't make much sense with a turret, but you could just say 'when attacking an enemy in your firing arc'

Not if my boy Kylo is hanging around with his Recon Specialist and Weapons Guidance.

lol Dengar has a solid chance to kill one of these in a round and is very unlikely to need more than 3 shots. Torp > Primary > primary/torp should kill one. And that's assuming his wingmate(s) don't get there first.

This is why we can't have nice things. Linked Batteries gives the effectiveness of Predator (in the current meta, where PS 2 ships are scarce to nonexistent), for 1 point less, in a probably redundant slot.

And it's not good enough.

Sigh.

Haven't read past this point so it might be addressed by someone else but: Predator is an EPT that can be equipped by any ship not named the K-wing and Punisher. Linked Batteries is a cannon that would realistically be taken on a very small handful of chassis. I would make it small ship only and make it free. Anyone worried about B-wings or Gunboats breaking the game with it? TIE Defenders? No?

And the Scum Aggressor.

If there was a culprit, I would say it was the IG2000, but even it doesn't seem nasty enough to warrant the exclusion. Maybe a big based ship in the pipeline?

What is the right-most action on the action bar? I am not familiar with that one (still new here).

I would still love to see something for the Firespray that lets it take Small Ship Only upgrades. Vectored Thrusters, Juke, Linked Batteries... So many things I'd love to see on the Firespray

That would be the new Reload action.

That could be an interesting boost for it.

omg LOL

Dengar hits hard enough even out of arc to potentially kill the gunboat before he walks him off the board but thats still utterly disgusting (have another with fletchetts stress him so he cant action either)

A generic Firespray Title! But we are getting into wishful thinking again. ;-)

Oh yeah, duh, I totally forgot the lambda, IG-2000 and YV-666. All of those ships could have used this boost of an upgrade though!
