Under Blinded Pilot it says you can't use Feedback Array, but under Feedback Array it says you can use it if you have Blinded Pilot.

I think they clarified certain damage deck type of Blinded Pilots in that.

Major changes:

Jumpmasters can’t ever equip torpedoes or droids. Even with the title.

the prophesied Attani and AdvSlam nerfs are true. Attani can only be taken on two ships, AdvSlam has to be action bar actions.

Biggs’ ability can only be triggered on one round per game.

Genius requires you to discard the card, so he doesn’t work with Bomblets or Extra Munitions.

Okay, I downloaded the PDF and took a look. Pretty sure I just suffered a minor aneurysm. That is a lot of information. Anybody out there motivated enough to just post the high points. What's new in this particular edition. Maybe a summary? Lol.

Once I get home tonight I'll probably have the chance to read the whole thing, but right now I'm sitting at work suffering from sensory overload.

"The dark side is strong in me, for I am Sith."

Look for red text.

Where was that one guy that kept telling us we were all full of @#%^ and making everything up? Not gonna lie, I'd love to see him write something in this thread. ;-)

Sadly no Sabine nerf. But this is good stuff.

Jumpmaster without a droid, a land without a king...OMG

Liked for Excalibur reference. I just hope you weren't going au Lancelot as you typed it.

Jump nerf strikes me as odd - without the rumored change to the title, too, doesn't that mean the retail kit has cards in it that it cannot use?

That seems like a problem...

I actually was among those who said that the rumored Jumpmaster nerf was too wordy and weird and thus fake.

This Jumpmaster nerf is way more concise and effective.

*nevermind, FAQ not in effect for my Sunday tournament*

Biggs is dead! Long live Biggs!!

No, wait, that was the problem. . .

And Mindlink now is more in tune with the lore.

Minefield Mapper with EM is cleared up.

Wouldn't be surprised to see a change to the FAQ before it's live that addresses the Jumpmaster title. Of course, maybe they don't see another way to address Dengar?

I love that it's only called "Upcoming X-Wing FAQ" on the Support section right now...

I love this as well, because there are still a few nationals coming and I think this should only be active AFTER them. It still fair to publish the upcoming FAQ to allow all those little forum buggers to train for their regionals with new squads.

I got it direct off of the FFG website. HOw does that not make it live?

And then T65s never saw play again

If you go to the X-Wing miniatures support page its right under the FAQ section.

Because it’s listed as upcoming.

What I meant is "active." My hunch is (if only because of the active date) they have some edits to make.

I still play Wedge. I played him with 2 Auzitucks last Friday and won.

They haven't posted the 'new FAQ now available' article for it, yet?

I dunno, but this version of the FAQ obviously has some problems. The Jumpmaster retail kit not being able to use cards it comes with for one. Another obvious one is the date - this FAQ applies from 7/24/2017 on? Man, that's going to invalidate some tournament results from the past 3 months... :P

It classified als upcoming FAQ, posted alongside the CURRENT FAQ.

But now they can fix it! The Curse of Biggs has been lifted!

Actually I may pull mine out. Major nerfs to most of the big lists means chaos in the meta for a short while

Biggs Darklighter, what?????
This card should read:
Once per game, at the start of the Combat
phase, you may choose that until the end of
the round, other friendly ships at Range 1
cannot be targeted by attacks if the attacker
could target you instead.”
