sorry glitch in my matrix

How would you engineer when the engineering team is deas? Reassign crew from primary battle stations to secondary damage control resposibilities, activate secondary engineering console, send out another R2 unit.

Typically Engineers are considered heavily trained specialists, Pulling a gunner off their station and telling them to go fix the shield emitters or engine is rarely if ever going to succeed. And killing the engineering team in the raid includes dedicated repair droids like R2 units.

Seventh Fleet is a great design for a card-

Rewards adapting your playstyle whilst keeping flavour and theme.

Lets just hope it’s costed appropriately.

Seventh Fleet is competing with some great titles on the ships that might want it. You're not putting it on a Glad, unless you've got 2. On the ISD it's competing with Avenger. Plus, on an ISD you have to fit in a non-Demo Glad or a Vic to be able to use it, which starts to add up quickly.

The ship that isn't too excited about its existing titles is the Vic. On that ship, it's a win-more card, though. If you can keep your front arc pointed at the enemy, you're already doing well.

Before seeing it in action, it seems like a more expensive, more situational, harder to justify Derlin.

Another way to get tokens: Taskmaster Grint

Imps are getting all the toys

A slightly cheaper, but MUCH more restricted Raymus.

Pure trash. What am I not seeing?

The key to the Mandos for me is how pillow fisted it is for its cost. 20pts for average 1.5 damage to squadrons and 1 to ships is pretty rough (worse than the Firespray and those never see play) The real variable is how much is the raid token adds to the value especially because imps (unlike Rebels) don't have a Toryn type to fish for the result. It'll be interesting.

They really do look weak, from a pure stats perspective. But hey, we finally got our Imperial speed 4, high-hull Rogue ship.

I know it's not Star Wars, but I imagine it's more like what happens in real life where everybody on a warship has damage control training - whether it's putting a seal on a breach or resetting a circuit breaker, or plugging in a new module from emergency spares.

Sloane gives them a crit reroll though, giving them a good chance at either giving a raid token or spending a token

every ship. every turn.

just need to decide which beforehand. not bad.

Don't think so.

Says 'you' on the card.

Sloane works on non-Rogues.

A 5 point option to ALWAYS activate 6 squadrons with a Quasar? This guy is gonna be duct taped onto my Quasar in my Sloane Fleet. 2 points cheaper than Yularen.

Sloane gives them nothing, as they are Rogue

Except they have rogue... (Edit: Ninja'd by @Drasnighta )

Right, thanks for the correction, yeah their stats are rough then

Yep, Sloane does nothing for these guys.

I like exaggerating.

In a dual isd build, chimaera title+stm seems better than 2 copies of this seventh Fleet title.

Like I said earlier, carriers, Where you put yularen before, now you save 2 Points.

Anyone get a tiny power creep vibe out of Seventh Fleet compared to Task Force Antilles? 2 points more to gain 1 more range and reduce damage instead of spreading it. Remember that you can brace before, so reduce damage by 2 compared to moving 1. The only thing not making me worry about power creep is the front arc limitation and how hard it would be to run 3+ copies.

These squads need setup too. If you want to make a bombing run, it means you need intel and escort as well. Lets say 2 of them, a jumpmaster, 2 advanced, you already spent a tons of points to deliver them. Then, you need to roll a hit as well. But I agree on Jyn, she will sit next to Syndula in my folder, probably never seeing a fight. I wouldnt bring a hammerhead just to deliver her.

It actually (thematically) fits that rebels wouldn't be good at such underhand tactics as raid tokens apart from an estranged daughter of an Imp Officer with a grudge.

You also dont have to waste a turn banking that specific token. You bank a different one and still get the extra token from Grint later. Its a great card for carriers.

Hammerhead be a tab bit cheaper than star destroyers tho.

Not really. It is front arc only. Just shoot the sides.

But the points you are spending on ship cost is far greater, HHs are very cheap, so you can have many more of them, I think it’s still balanced

And gsd have very small front arcs.

You have round 1 and comms net for that, I think. But I suppose the rebate has some merit.
