"Age of Icons" - Version 0.7 *new ordnance rules*

By Shane Gooseman, in X-Wing

Hey. Happy you like our attempt, we soon will release the latest Version of the ruleset along with the squadbuilder.

surely some new shenanigans will come up due to the changes we made. Autothrusters had become quite obsolete, but with the altered wording it works as intended. The only card which became useless is r2-d6 because his effect was implemented directly to all ships that could benefit from him.

As i am writing this i realize that tarn Mison can still use r2-d6.

so no, i dont think that there will be any really useless cards, at least not more than there are in the unmodified Game.

In fact we tried to change some of the currently useless cards to bring them back into play.

so stay tuned for the next release and the squadbuilder.

cheers

This is so cool! I need to see if I can get anyone in my local group to try this with me.

Hey Folks!

It seems that we are close to our goal to deliver a working, balanced and fun to play Mod.

Here is the actual version 0.7 for you to discuss and enjoy. (LINK 25mb) (LINK 7mb)

The main changes to the older versions are:

- new optional ordnance ruling, on which we are eager to hear your opinions.

- Lightweight frame and unguided rockets are back

- porkins got his old ability

- the Bounty Hunters addon 0.4 is included

- some minor things like cost adjustments and reworked layout issues

The squadbuilder is on the go but not yet ready to deliver (this is way more work to be done than I expected :-/).

so check it out, give it a try, enjoy and send us your thoughts.

cheers

I really like the Vader card, but I wonder if changing the wording to be more consistent with FFG's style might be optimal.

TIE Advanced only.

Increase your pilot skill value by 3.

[text]

You cannot equip this card if your pilot skill value is "8" or lower.

Also, since its only for Darth Vader, maybe allow it to either equip 2 mods (for engine + MCK II, for instance) or take a free boost action, although that may make him OP.

Really glad that UGR and LWR are back in the game, and loving the new ordinance changes; keep up the good work!
