So my take and this is going to be quick because I already spent too much time on it and people are just going to call me a noob that wants my OP toys even though I don't play JM5K or Biggs, or TLT-wings, or Nym. So all those nerfhearders can go nerf off, they got what they wanted.
Erratas
- Adv Slam We all knew it was coming, that's fine. Just a straight up nerf to what the last dev team thoguht would be a cool trick. The same dev team that gave us JM5Ks.
- Atanni Mindlink IMHO it should have been transformed into a condition. I am not a fan about condition being 2 cards for a single upgrade, but I feel conditions would fit better. A New precedent setter but at this point there is no precedent so hog wild for the erratas. A complete 18- from FFG's original stance on erratas.
- Genius Well a correction design to keep the Nym-a-kazi from abusing collisions more than Oicun. Doesn't change much in the way he is played with other ships.
- Biggs Darklighter OVERCORRECTION. That is exactly what it is. Now sure once per round or the first attack would have been a better nerf. Sure Biggs did restrict the design space but he really was the only thing keeping X-wings seen on the table of a game of X-wing. Now call it something else, Star Wars Jumpmaster 5000 miniatures.
- Jumpmasters Well this has thrown precedent and all integrity the cards have out the window. Everything and anything is now subject to change and on top of all this JM5Ks are STILL OP! The only thing next is to nerf the dial (all straights are treated as white) increase the point cost by 2 and drop firepower to 1.
Clarifications
- Conditions on Destroyed ships Just some housekeeping, move along.
- Rolling and Rerolling just explaining that rerolls are considered as dice modification, anything that is not (such as dice cocked) is just rolling.
- Blinded Pilot Added Feedback array to the list of cards that this crit affects.
- I will show you the darkside Kylo Ren action clarification.
- Dash Rendar Must use his ability before the maneuver is done. Just some housekeeping tightening up the rules.
- Dengar New Biggs interaction nuff said, still OP needs to be Pilot skill 8 and +2 points.
- Double Edge cannot abuse that OP modification Munitions Failsafe (may be some sarasam)
- Lt. Kestal You use his ability in the Attacker Modifies Defense dice as normal, so it does not work the same as crack shot.
- Adv Targeting Computer Cannot use Targeting Syncronizer for their effect. So no TL stacking unless you are Redline.
- Boba Fet So Boba fet can effect conditions but not tokens. So Killing Jabba doesn't remove all illicit tokens and they can still be used. But he could use it on Ghost and thus removing the title all together as for the other card it says no longer provides that effect. So does that mean the phantom is gone or must undock? I'm going to mark that for later discussion.
- Cikatro Vizago So he does work with the permanent cloaking device as you can discard the cloakign device and keep the cloak token until you discard it with a decloak.
- Cluster Mines See minefield mapper
- Deadmans switch Will trigger if out of play but only if part of the base is still in the play area. If it is completely out then it does not go off.
- Emperor Palp Palp can be used on the extra die from Light Weight Frame die separately so sort of a buff to LWF.
- Feedback Array You must be able to attack to use it, so you cannot use it on Blinded pilot or when cloaked, or if you have a weapons disabled. You can use it when you could make an attack but have no targets available such as bumping or out of arc but inside range 1.
- Guidance Chips Sort of a nerf to 3 firepower ships as 3 firepower has to chose a <crit> and not a <hit> so on any thing that allows for <crits> to be canceled first is now a negative.
- Gunner Says you can use Gunner or IG-88D to copy IG-88B but not both.
- Hot Shot Copilot More clarafication that it only forces the pilot to spend a focus not straight up discard it. Also if a ship is unable to spend a focus token i.e. snap shot then hot Shot Copilot has no effect.
- Jabba the Hutt Illicit tokens still work even when Jabba is no longer in play.
- M9-G8 More clarifications on interaction with other pilots that have target lock abilities.
- Minefield Mapper Allows you to use EM tokens to place bombs but you can't place bombs twice by spending both the token and the upgrade card. So how most of us played.
- Navagator slight buff to Imperial Boba Fet with the Fetagator.
- Pattern Analyzer Just some more clarafications on when a ship takes stress from things like debris clouds.
- Pulse Ray Shield Doesn't give you more than 1 shield token, but will ionize you if you already have one and for some reason want to use it.
- R5-P9 Again you can use it by spending a focus token but if you are already at max shields you do not gain a shield token.
- Special Ops Training So the first attack sets the behavior of this card. If you attack primary first you treat it as the primary modification and cannot make an attack from the rear aux. If you want to make an attack from bot rear and front arc you have to attack rear arc first.
- Targeting Syncronizer Clarifications mostly, ships can use it even if they do not have the TL action in their bar
FAQ
- Discarding and removing tokens are the same effect, well duh. No stupid questions amiright
- Mine damage takes place after the ship completes the maneuver. Possibly for interactions with something like deadman's switch. If a proxy mine kills a Z-95 dead man is measured from the final position of the Z-95 not form the mine token.
A long one and well overdue. Now the clarifications needed to come out months ago. The errata could have waited until now to ruin the game. Yes it is ruined, Dengar is still OP and no more X-wings in X-wing. Cards might as well be bookmarks. Sort of like this one below.
This is horrible and people are still going to call me an idiot because it "nerfs" their most hated ship. But just like the last what is it 4 or 5 nerfs, still doesn't work. Heck it would have been better if they banned the entire Jumpmaster 5000 expansion. but oh well.
